The new boat’s premiere is scheduled for the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, where the Manhattan 94 will be the British yard’s largest yacht showcased along with nine other Sunseeker models, including the Manhattan 56 unveiled early in 2026 in Düsseldorf and the upgraded Manhattan 68

The Manhattan 94 represents the latest evolution of Sunseeker’s design and engineering solutions. The project is based on the concept of a “sanctuary at sea”, and with a length of 28.6 m and a beam of 6.65 m, the yacht is capable of offering her guests the comfort of a five-star hotel.

One of the Manhattan 94’s key highlights is the raised pilothouse, which is Sunseeker’s signature feature. From the viewpoint of external proportions, it is integrated into the yacht’s profile perfectly and allows for a more rational layout of interior space.

The Manhattan 94’s main saloon is positioned as a “penthouse”. A generous space with floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors offers great views on the starboard side, while the flybridge , transitioning into a bow terrace with sofas and sunpads, can boast even more amazing panoramic views.

The aft beach area, equipped with innovative X TEND sunbed system allows flexible seating facing aft or forward and ensures immediate contact with the sea. There is also access to the garage that can accommodate a Williams SportJet 395 and water toys, including a SeaBob and paddleboards. 

The Manhattan 94’s interior is owed to British Design Unlimited studio that focused on the open layout. The yacht can be customised with the help of the yard’s Sunseeker Bespoke custom-tailoring and personalization service. 

For instance, the boat may come in a four or five-cabin layout, while the full-beam master suite with panoramic windows can be located on the main deck or below deck.

The robust GRP planing hull can be supplemented with Humphree X-Series stabilisers, enhancing comfort both at anchor and under way. Two diesel MTU engines ensure a top speed of up to 26 knots. 

At present, the first Sunseeker Manhattan 94 is undergoing sea trials before the world debut in France in autumn. According to the yard, the second hull has already been sold.
