Broker Overview

This 2016 Sunseeker Manhattan 65 represents a compelling opportunity in the 60-70 foot flybridge motor yacht segment. Custom ordered and equipped with twin Caterpillar C-18 ACERTs, each delivering 1150 HP, this vessel offers a proven, reliable, and easily serviceable power package, which is a significant advantage over some of its contemporaries. The Manhattan 65 is known for its distinctive Sunseeker styling, combining aggressive lines with a practical, well-appointed interior. This particular yacht features a desirable 4-stateroom, 3-head layout, plus dedicated crew quarters, making it exceptionally versatile for family cruising or entertaining guests. The inclusion of factory-installed zero-speed stabilizer fins is a crucial upgrade, enhancing comfort significantly whether at anchor or underway. While the asking price reflects a well-maintained, relatively modern yacht from a reputable builder, it's important to note that a 2016 model will naturally require attention to systems and cosmetics commensurate with its age and usage. However, the core build quality and engine choice position this yacht as a strong contender for a buyer seeking a capable, stylish, and comfortable cruiser without venturing into the larger superyacht market. Her Boston, Florida location makes her accessible for survey and sea trial in a prime cruising region.

Why This Boat Stands Out

Reliable Twin Caterpillar C-18 ACERTs (1150 HP each) — excellent power and serviceability.

Factory-installed Zero-Speed Stabilizers — superior comfort at anchor and underway.

Versatile 4-Stateroom, 3-Head Layout plus Crew Quarters — ideal for extended family or charter.

Distinctive Sunseeker Styling and Quality — high-end finish and strong resale value.

Expert Review

The Sunseeker Manhattan 65 is a well-regarded model, offering a balance of performance, luxury, and functionality. Build quality is typical for Sunseeker, meaning robust fiberglass construction and a high standard of interior finish. Owners generally praise its sea-keeping abilities, particularly in moderate conditions, though like any planing hull, it will feel the chop. The C-18 CAT engines are a solid choice, known for their durability and widespread service network, which is a distinct advantage over some more exotic engine packages. When considering this vessel, a thorough survey should focus on the condition of the teak decks, proper operation of the zero-speed stabilizers, and comprehensive engine diagnostics. Pay close attention to the generator's service history and the state of all air conditioning units. Value for money here is strong, given the reputable builder, engine package, and stabilizer upgrade. Comparable alternatives might include Princess 64/68 or possibly a late model Azimut 66, but the Sunseeker often holds an edge in styling and interior volume perception.
