The Manhattan 56 makes its US debut
The Manhattan 56 will be the headline LYG-size model in Sunseeker’s Fort Lauderdale display, making its first public appearance in the United States. The model is positioned as a contemporary flybridge yacht with a strong emphasis on usable interior volume, open-plan living and owner-friendly operation.
Its US debut is commercially important because Fort Lauderdale gives Sunseeker direct access to one of the world’s largest markets for owner-operated motor yachts. Buyers can inspect the model alongside several established Sunseeker designs rather than evaluating it in isolation.
Predator 55 represents the sport-cruiser side of the range
The Predator 55 provides a more performance-oriented alternative within the show fleet, combining lower-profile styling with enclosed accommodation and substantial cockpit space. Its presence gives visitors a direct contrast with the taller flybridge models on the same stand.
For buyers choosing between sports-cruiser and flybridge formats, that comparison is useful because the difference extends beyond appearance. Helm position, upper-deck space, centre of gravity and the relationship between saloon and cockpit all shape how a yacht feels during everyday ownership.
Manhattan 68 and 76 Yacht move toward larger cruising volume
Sunseeker’s Manhattan 68 and 76 Yacht add greater accommodation and cruising capability while remaining below LYG’s 24-metre threshold. Both are aimed at owners who want multiple guest cabins, substantial exterior social areas and the option of professional crew without moving into superyacht dimensions. Their larger platforms also provide a useful comparison for buyers moving up from the 50-foot class.
The 76 Yacht sits close to the upper end of the LYG market, making it particularly relevant to buyers considering whether to remain in a sub-24-metre platform or move into the regulatory and operating environment associated with larger yachts. That comparison can materially affect crewing, berthing and operating decisions.
Predator 75 completes the under-24m display
The Predator 75 brings the largest performance-led model in the LYG-size Sunseeker group at Fort Lauderdale. It combines the Predator family’s lower, sportier profile with accommodation and deck space approaching that of larger cruising yachts.
Sunseeker will also display the 82 Ocean Enclosed and 100 Yacht at FLIBS, but both sit outside Luxury Yacht Guide’s under-24-metre editorial scope. For LYG readers, the five smaller models provide the relevant cross-section of the builder’s current US show offering.
