GUARDIAN OF THE SEA

Sunseeker Manhattan 68 — New England & the US North East The Manhattan 68 has long been one of Sunseeker's most convincing flybridge cruisers, and this one earns its keep in waters that reward a yacht of exactly this size: shallow enough in draft and nimble enough to slip into the quieter anchorages along the north shore of Long Island, yet substantial enough to run down to New York Harbour for the Statue of Liberty and the skyline, or up the Hudson when the architecture and the turning leaves are worth the trip. A refit completed in 2025 keeps her presentation current. Below, four cabins accommodate eight guests overnight: one with a king-size bed, one with a queen-size bed, and two further cabins each fitted with twin beds. For day charters she carries up to thirteen guests, which makes her equally suited to a long lunch at anchor and to a family weekend away. The layout is the Manhattan's real argument — a saloon and galley that flow into the cockpit, and a flybridge that becomes the natural gathering point once the anchor is down. Swimming, lunch on the water, a slow afternoon within sight of the shore: the yacht handles all three without rearranging itself. The crew know these waters and plan around them, shaping the itinerary to the day rather than the other way round — which, on this coastline, is what separates a good charter from a forgettable one.
