Sunseeker Manhattan 55 for Sale: Price, Specs and Buying Guide

Sunseeker Manhattan 55 price in 2026

Pre-owned Gen 2 (2021 or newer) Manhattan 55s run roughly $1.6 million to $2.5 million as of 2026 market range. Average pre-owned pricing across all model years, Gen 1 included, sits closer to $1.77 million, reflecting how many older, lower-priced examples are on the market alongside newer Gen 2 boats. The original list price was around GBP851,000 when the first generation launched in 2013, for context on how far values have moved since.

Build year matters more on this model than most, since it separates Gen 1 from Gen 2 outright rather than just marking incremental depreciation. After that, engine hours, generator hours and documented refit history drive price the usual way. Many examples are now over a decade old, so ask specifically what has been replaced versus what is simply original and aging.

Running costs

The industry rule of thumb of roughly 10% of purchase value a year is the starting estimate for berthing, crew, insurance, maintenance and fuel. No unusual Gulf-specific adjustment is flagged for this model beyond what applies to any flybridge in Gulf heat: expect the generator to run hard for air conditioning at anchor, and budget accordingly.

Older Gen 1 hulls can cost more to run in practice than the estimate suggests, simply because a 10-plus-year-old boat needs more reactive maintenance than a recent Gen 2 example. Ask any seller for the last two or three years of actual maintenance invoices rather than relying on the percentage-of-value rule alone.

What the survey must check

Given how wide the age range is on this model, the survey list matters more than usual:

• Confirm which drivetrain the boat has, IPS or shaft drive, and check the condition specific to that configuration.
• Review generator hours and A/C capacity, sized for Gulf heat rather than a milder climate.
• Check gelcoat and teak condition carefully given the model's age. Many examples are now 10 years old or more.
• Commission an osmosis survey on the hull.
• Inspect stringer and structural bulkhead condition, especially on the oldest Gen 1 hulls.
• Check electronics and MFD currency, and ask about any rewiring history. A boat this age has often had at least one electronics refresh, and it is worth knowing whether that work was done properly.

Who the Manhattan 55 suits in the Gulf

Al Mouj Marina in Muscat takes yachts from 10 to 40 metres across its berths, comfortable range for a 55ft flybridge, and Oman's smaller, less crowded boating scene suits an owner who wants a straightforward family day-boat rather than a marina full of larger yachts to keep up with.

The Manhattan 55's 250nm range fits family day-boating and weekend anchoring around Muscat and the Musandam approaches rather than long Red Sea passages. For that kind of range, the sportier Sunseeker Predator 65 does not help much either, and a buyer after real passage-making range should look at something like the Princess Y72 instead.

Given the age spread on this model, we recommend a qualified yacht service team walk through any hull over eight years old before you make an offer, not just before you complete. Photos and full survey reports of specific Manhattan 55 hulls are available on request via WhatsApp.
