Sunseeker has unveiled the all-new Manhattan 56, a next-generation flybridge yacht that updates one of the brand’s most recognizable nameplates with a cleaner profile, smarter social spaces, and owner-friendly operation. The model is currently making its world debut at boot Düsseldorf 2026, positioned as the modern successor to the Manhattan 55 while continuing the Manhattan lineage that helped define Sunseeker’s rise in the 1980s.
As an authorized Sunseeker dealer across the Americas, Denison Yachting is ready to guide owners through the Manhattan 56, from selecting the right layout and propulsion to tailoring the onboard experience for how you actually use a 56-foot flybridge yacht.
The Manhattan 56 introduces a striking new exterior silhouette for 2026, highlighted by expanded main-deck glazing that runs uninterrupted along the profile. The result is a brighter saloon and a stronger connection to the water, with styling that feels more refined and contemporary.
One of the biggest practical changes happens at the stern: the Manhattan 56’s aft cockpit has been reimagined around modular seating that can shift between dining, lounging, or a full-beam sunpad, then flows naturally down to the bathing platform and Beach Club. It’s a simple idea that makes a real difference for day-to-day boating, especially for owners who like to alternate between entertaining and relaxing without committing the space to one permanent setup.
Inside, Sunseeker leans into open-plan living with a light-filled saloon and a layout designed to feel social and easy to move through. The Manhattan 56 also debuts Sunseeker’s new exterior upholstery collection, bringing elevated finishing details to high-touch areas.
Below deck, the Manhattan 56 features a three-cabin layout with a full-beam master suite that’s notable for the size class, enabled in part by a main-deck galley position that preserves volume where it counts.
With twin Volvo Penta D13-800 power, Sunseeker targets an easy cruise around 25 knots, a published range of up to 230 nautical miles at 21 knots, and top speeds of up to 32 knots.
