Our Take

The 2023 Sunseeker Manhattan 68 represents a significant opportunity in the market for a purpose-built, freshwater-maintained motor yacht designed for both extended cruising and sophisticated entertaining. At 61.25 feet with a 17.25-foot beam, this four-cabin, three-head layout delivers the spatial efficiency and guest accommodation that defines the Manhattan platform—a boat engineered for owners who demand both practical cruising capability and refined onboard living.

Cruising Performance & Propulsion

This Manhattan 68 achieves a 26-knot cruising speed with a maximum velocity of 32 knots, supported by 1,057 gallons of fuel capacity and 238 gallons of fresh water. The dual-station joystick control system—including the Rexroth Aventics Marex OS 3D Joystick configuration—provides intuitive helm management at both the lower console and flybridge, while the hydraulic bow and stern thruster system with proportional joystick control ensures confident maneuvering in tight quarters. The integrated oil change system for engines, gearboxes, and generator simplifies routine maintenance and reflects the comprehensive systems integration expected at this level.

Navigation & Electronics Suite

The Garmin Glass Cockpit architecture forms the backbone of the navigation system, featuring dual GFSMP 8616 16-inch multifunctional color radar chartplotters on the lower console, a third 16-inch Garmin display on the flybridge, and the Garmin GMR GMX 424 XHD2 open array radar with 4-foot antenna and 72-nautical-mile range. Dual GPS19x antennas, Garmin GHP 20 autopilot with GHC remote, Garmin VHF 315 with DSC, Garmin AIS 800 Class B transceiver, and B744 transducer speed and depth systems create a fully integrated navigation platform. The FLIR image-stabilized night vision camera feeds directly to all chart plotter screens, enhancing situational awareness during low-light operation. An electric folding radar mast accommodates Chicago River clearance requirements, a practical consideration for freshwater Great Lakes operation.

Accommodation & Interior Design

The four-stateroom layout includes a full-beam master suite with private staircase access, a forward VIP stateroom, and two additional guest cabins—accommodating up to eight guests with defined privacy zones. The master and VIP cabins feature Samsung TV Frame QLED 4K smart televisions with Apple TV integration, while guest cabins include Samsung HD televisions. All displays connect to the Sonos audio system, enabling seamless music and television streaming throughout the vessel. The interior wood finish uses silver oak low-build open grain with Candorin hardwood flooring in the salon, dining area, and forward stairwell. All berths feature sprung mattresses, and the starboard guest cabin includes electrically operated sliders to convert two single beds into an occasional double configuration.

The main deck galley opens via full-width sliding doors to the aft cockpit, creating a connected entertaining space. A rise-and-fall coffee dining table in the upper salon provides flexibility, while the aft dinette features a foldable table that allows the space to transition from dining to open flow. The Miele DA3466 hob extractor manages cooking ventilation, and the galley includes upgraded refrigeration with two freezer drawers plus a wine cooler. A second refrigerator on the flybridge wetbar supports entertaining at the upper deck level.
