2022 Sunseeker Manhattan 55

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how quiet and composed she feels underway, thanks to the Seakeeper 6 and IPS 950s pushing effortlessly through a chop. At the helm, the three joystick stations make close-quarters maneuvering feel intuitive, even when the breeze picks up. The upgraded Northern Lights generator hums along in the background, keeping the galley, climate control, and entertainment powered without a fuss. Evenings stretch out with the Sonos system filling every corner from flybridge to beach club, while guests drift between the grill, the swim platform, and that generous aft cockpit. It’s a yacht that feels much larger than 55 feet once you’re actually living aboard for a long weekend.

For waters where you’re splitting time between quick hops along the coast and longer overnight stretches, this Manhattan 55 hits a sweet spot. The 22‑knot cruise makes it easy to cover ground, yet she’s compact enough to slip into tighter marinas and popular anchorages. Joystick control and both bow and stern thrusters are a real advantage when currents or crosswinds complicate docking. At anchor, the gyro keeps everyone comfortable so the flybridge and bow lounge actually get used all day. With the beach club and strong generator, you can stay on the hook in comfort, using the yacht as a floating home base for exploring nearby coves and harbors.
