Sunseeker Manhattan 52

Launched in 2016, the Manhattan 52 replaced the outgoing Manhattan 50, and from the first show unveiling it was clear this wasn’t just an incremental update. Sunseeker’s design team went all in on open-plan living, a brighter interior, and flybridge space that would make some 60-footers blush. Design and Presence From the dockside, the Manhattan 52 commands attention. The sheer line sweeps forward into a proud bow, and the profile is punctuated by elongated hull windows that flood the interior with natural light.

Sunseeker Martinique 36 - An Owner's Review

The Sunseeker Martinique 36, a classic sports cruiser from the renowned British shipyard Sunseeker. I had one of these many years ago and I loved it. Nice and powerful 24 Knots on the plane, (some times a bit faster). It was my first real boat and at the time with a young family it was great. They epitomise luxury and performance for boating enthusiasts. Launched in the late 1980s and early 1990s, this model, designed by Don Shead, measures approximately 10.8 to 11.58 meters in length with a beam of around 3.65 meters, offering a balance of sleek design and practical space. Its GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) hull and planing underwater profile ensure excellent handling, achieving cruising speeds of about 28 knots and a maximum speed of up to 34 knots, depending on engine configuration.
