Manhattan 65

Onboard the Manhattan 65

The Manhattan 65 by Sunseeker is a 22-metre motor yacht built around time spent on deck rather than time spent moving between destinations. Aft, the dining area is set up for meals in the open air, while a swim platform at the stern gives guests direct access to the water from anchor. Below, four cabins sleep the party in proper comfort, and the yacht carries up to twelve guests in total — enough for a family group, a pair of couples travelling together, or a small corporate gathering without anyone feeling stacked into the space.

Cruising at around 28 knots, the Manhattan 65 covers distance efficiently, which opens up routes that would feel long on a slower boat. A day run from a marina such as Puerto Portals down toward Porto Cristo, Cala Mondragó and Cala Pi on the east coast is realistic within daylight hours, with time to anchor off one of the calas, swim from the platform, and still make it back for the evening. The same pace suits a shorter, lower-key outing too — out into the Bay of Palma for a few hours with the Tramuntana ridge as backdrop, back at the berth before dinner.

Because the Manhattan 65 sleeps twelve across four cabins, it also works for charters that run over more than one day rather than a single afternoon. Provisioning can be arranged ahead of departure so the boat is stocked for the length of the trip rather than restocked mid-route, which suits guests planning a couple of nights along the Mallorca coast rather than a single-day booking. It is a practical choice for groups who want a fast, comfortable base for exploring by day and staying aboard by night, without the scale or running costs of a larger superyacht.
