Next-Gen Sunseeker Manhattan 68 to Make Show Premiere at Cannes Yachting Festival 2025

The Sunseeker Manhattan 68 will make its show debut at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival this September, presenting a sleeker profile, redesigned flybridge, and upgraded exterior upholstery.

Following its world debut at this year's Boot Düsseldorf, the Manhattan 68 takes its place as the largest and most advanced model in the Sunseeker Manhattan range

A Refined Design and Profile

The Sunseeker Manhattan 68 (2025) introduces a sleeker, more dynamic superstructure profile while retaining the timeless lines that define the Manhattan range. Knife-like hull windows taper aft in a distinctive helix-inspired form, breaking up the yacht’s profile and adding a sense of movement even at rest.

A refreshed exterior upholstery palette and detailing lift the yacht’s visual impact while improving durability in marine conditions.

Upgraded Flybridge and Outdoor Spaces

A redesigned flybridge serves as the centerpiece for open-air living, with a larger and more versatile seating arrangement complemented by an ergonomic, technology-rich helm console. This upper deck layout is tailored for both social gatherings and quiet cruising, offering panoramic views from bow to stern.

The aft cockpit on board the motor yacht has also been reworked, now incorporating a built-in privacy screen for a more secluded atmosphere at anchor or alongside. The design encourages relaxed dining, shaded lounging, and unobstructed transitions between interior and exterior spaces.

Flexible Interior Configurations

Working with Design Unlimited, Sunseeker has introduced configurable interior layouts to suit different owner preferences. The Cannes show yacht will display the four-cabin arrangement, featuring a private staircase to a full-beam midships owner’s suite.

Alternative configurations include a single staircase layout, opening up space in the main saloon for an additional seating group, or a three-cabin setup with a more spacious owner’s suite and optional office. A fourth bunk cabin can also be specified, providing flexibility for family use or charter.

Built from GRP with a planing hull, the Manhattan 68 (2025) delivers a top speed of 31–32 knots and a range of up to 550 nautical miles at 10 knots. Power options include twin MAN V8 1000 shaft diesels or twin MAN V12 1200 shaft diesels. At 21.21 meters in length and with a beam of 5.26 meters, the yacht balances volume, agility, and handling precision.

YachtBuyer Reviewed Highlights from Sunseeker’s Cannes Lineup

According to YachtBuyer Market Watch, the world's largest yacht database, Sunseeker will exhibit eight other models in Cannes, including a selection reviewed by YachtBuyer.

The Sunseeker Manhattan 55, the smallest flybridge in the range, delivers best-in-class refinement for owner-operators, with a cleverly designed aft galley and cockpit bar, three well-proportioned cabins, and a hull that continues Sunseeker’s tradition for quality offshore handling.

The award-winning Sunseeker 90 Ocean will also be on display, a high-volume, semi-custom flybridge yacht noted for its penthouse-style main deck, versatile flybridge options, and waterside “Ocean Club” terrace. Its layout maximizes both private and social spaces, offering the kind of flexible living usually seen on much larger superyachts.

The Sunseeker 88 Yacht, a sleek, crew-operated flybridge model, integrates superyacht features into a more compact footprint. With a spacious flybridge, fully featured beach club, and interiors marked by beautiful detailing and balanced proportions, it adapts equally well to private or charter use.

The Manhattan 68’s appearance at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival exhibits Sunseeker’s focus on evolving proven platforms with modern styling, adaptable layouts, and high-performance engineering. Alongside this flagship for the Manhattan range, visitors will be able to explore an extensive Sunseeker lineup, from compact flybridge yachts to high-volume cruisers and performance models.
