The Manhattan 68 represents Sunseeker's vision of a modern social yacht — a vessel engineered less for crossing oceans and more for making every summer day unforgettable. After three days aboard in the Solent, here is our full assessment.
Design & Exterior
The hull lines are unmistakably Sunseeker — sweeping, aggressive, and contemporary. The opening transom and teak sundeck make the exterior both functional and beautiful. At 68 feet, her presence at anchor is undeniable.
Interior Quality
The full-beam master stateroom amidships is exceptional — a genuine hotel-suite experience at sea, with natural light flooding through hull windows and generous storage throughout. The main saloon is well-proportioned and social, with quality materials and craftsmanship that justify the premium price point.
Performance on the Water
Twin Volvo IPS 1200 drives push the Manhattan 68 to a top speed of 30 knots. The IPS system makes close-quarters marina handling confidence-inspiring even for less experienced helmsmen.
Verdict: 8.8 / 10
The Manhattan 68 is one of the most complete social motor yachts in its class. Minor ergonomic niggles are comfortably outweighed by the exceptional build quality, performance, and sheer enjoyment factor.
