Sunseeker International has announced the world premiere of its next-generation Manhattan 68 (2025) at boot Düsseldorf 2025, reflecting the British shipyard’s ongoing collaboration with Design Unlimited.
The unveiling is part of a comprehensive display by Sunseeker, which will showcase its full line-up, including the Predator 55, Superhawk 55, Manhattan 55, Predator 75, 76 Yacht, and Ocean 156.
Sunseeker says the Manhattan 68 (2025) builds on the success of its predecessor with a modernised superstructure and an array of innovative features.
Its sleeker profile enhances its presence on the water, while a reconfigured flybridge introduces a more versatile seating layout and a technologically advanced console.
The redesigned flybridge offers ample space for open-air living, making it suitable for entertaining or relaxing while enjoying panoramic views.
Exterior enhancements include refreshed upholstery, crafted from premium materials and available in a contemporary palette that blends aesthetics with durability. The aft cockpit has also been updated with a built-in privacy screen, providing a secluded area for relaxation or informal gatherings.
Inside, the Manhattan 68 (2025) offers adaptable layouts to suit different owner preferences.
Options include a four-cabin design with a private staircase leading to the midships full-beam owner’s cabin, or a single staircase configuration that creates space for an opposing seating group in the main saloon.
Additional choices include a three-cabin layout with an expanded owner’s cabin featuring an office or a Pullman-style fourth cabin.
Specifications reveal that the Manhattan 68 (2025) measures 21.21 metres in length with a maximum beam of 5.26 metres. It achieves a top speed of 31–32 knots and offers a range of up to 550 nautical miles at 10 knots, thanks to its fuel capacity of 4,000 litres. Owners can choose between twin MAN V8 1000 or V12 1200 engines.
In addition to the Manhattan 68 (2025), Sunseeker will showcase the Ocean 156, a model that redefines space and functionality within its Ocean range. With its innovative design, the Ocean 156 offers penthouse-style proportions and flexible layouts tailored for extended periods on the water. This yacht introduces an infinity main deck with uninterrupted views from bow to stern, a central pilothouse with a single helm station, and upper decks configured for both relaxation and entertaining.
The Ocean 156’s beach club includes Sunseeker’s X-Tend convertible seating, which can be adjusted to face forward at cockpit level or rearwards at deck level.
The stern area is further enhanced by a hydraulic platform with a capacity of 550 kilograms, suitable for a Williams 435 SportJet. Additional features include a hydraulic sea stair and built-in wet bars.
Internally, the Ocean 156 provides 1,770 square feet of floor space across three levels. The main deck features open-plan living with full-height glazing for 360-degree views, creating a spacious and light-filled environment.
Layouts can be customised, offering options such as an owner’s stateroom on the main deck with direct foredeck access. The lower deck includes a full-beam owner’s stateroom with ensuite facilities and ample storage, as well as additional VIP and guest cabins that can accommodate up to ten people. Crew accommodation is provided forward of the engine room.
The Ocean 156 is powered by twin MAN V8 1300 or V12 1650 engines, enabling speeds of up to 25 knots and a range of up to 900 nautical miles at 10 knots. It has a length of 25.14 metres, a beam of 6.56 metres, and a fuel capacity of 8,500 litres.
Visitors to boot Düsseldorf 2025 will have the opportunity to explore the Manhattan 68 (2025) and the Ocean 156 alongside the rest of Sunseeker’s line-up, which ranges from 38-foot to 161-foot yachts.
