2006 Sunseeker Manhattan

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how much volume Sunseeker squeezed into this 50-footer. The Manhattan’s signature split-level salon gives you a raised dinette with great sightlines while guests relax below on the lounge level—everyone’s in the conversation, nobody feels stuck “down below.” The lower helm is comfortably positioned, so running in stronger breeze or shoulder seasons is actually enjoyable. Below, the full-beam master gets generous hull windows and proper headroom, with a guest cabin that’s genuinely adult-friendly, not a token bunk room. Wide side decks with secure rails make line handling easy, and the flybridge layout keeps the skipper, grill, and seating all within arm’s reach for relaxed entertaining underway or at anchor.

The Manhattan hull is a sweet match for local conditions where short, steep chop and mixed sea states are common. That deeper-V entry and moderate aft deadrise give you a softer ride at cruising speeds, while the hull pockets keep draft down for exploring shallower anchorages and tighter marinas. The flybridge offers a breezy upper helm for those long fair-weather runs, yet you still have the protection of a lower station when the breeze pipes up. With comfortable cabins and a sociable salon, it suits weekend escapes as easily as longer coastal runs, giving you a versatile platform for both entertaining and extended cruising in this region.
