The Sunseeker Manhattan 55 was one of the big launches of the recent #SunseekerSeptember season, and she was very much in demand throughout. In just a very short space of time, this new evolution of the successful Manhattan 53 model was on display at International Boat Shows in Cannes, Barcelona and Southampton! Not everyone who wanted to see the new Sunseeker flybridge yacht made it to those events, so the team at Sunseeker France have put a Manhattan 55 on a permanent display stand in the marina, and kicked things off with a very successful Open Day in Port de la Rague last weekend.

As you can see from the images, the weather in the South of France is a lot better than it is in the UK at the moment and so a number of clients, past and present, came down to see the new innovations that the Manhattan 55 is already becoming famous for! These include a superb new saloon seating layout, new helm station, more storage space in the galley and significantly more entertaining space on the flybridge. All of this is topped with an awesome new interior design by Ken Frievokh.

Visiting clients were also shown plans of the new “upper galley” layout, which is available for boats delivered in 2014.

Alastair Walton of Sunseeker France comments “We are delighted to have the new Manhattan 55 here in the South of France. Our permanent display area is just a short drive from the airports in Nice and Cannes, and a number of clients have taken advantage of being able to fly in to inspect the boat and be back home in time for dinner! It has been a great success, and we have loved being able to show the boat off in this way.”

Given the success of the event, Sunseeker France will keep the Manhattan 55 on permanent display over the winter period to help clients as they finalise their plans for the forthcoming season. Furthermore, we will be announcing shortly the details of other new Sunseeker models to be joining the Manhattan 55 on permanent display in the South of France – watch this space!
