Sunseeker will make its U.S. debut of the new Manhattan 56 to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, running Oct. 28 to Nov. 1, 2026. The 56-foot cruiser updates the longtime Manhattan series with a revised exterior profile, expansive glazing and a fresh interior developed in collaboration with Design Unlimited.

The aft cockpit is a focal point, with twin fold-down balconies extending the social area toward the water. Modular seating shifts between dining, lounging and a full-beam sunpad, while the bathing platform and optional beach-club amenities expand the outdoor living space. Inside, an open-plan salon and dining area benefit from panoramic windows, warm natural finishes and a main-deck galley. Below, three staterooms accommodate up to six guests, including a full-beam-feeling master stateroom with a king-size bed and en suite.

Twin Volvo Penta D13-800 diesels provide a reported top speed of up to 32 knots, with a range of up to 230 nautical miles at 21 knots. The Manhattan 56 will lead a seven-yacht Sunseeker lineup at the show, alongside models from the builder’s Predator, Yacht and Ocean ranges.
