2013 Sunseeker Manhattan 53

£699,950 vat paid

What a fabulous opportunity to acquire a true thoroughbred Sunseeker flybridge motor yacht. This Sunseeker Manhattan 53 was built as the 2012 Southampton "Show Boat" - to a full 2013 Model Year Specification (with corresponding HIN number) and as such, is absolutely loaded with all typical options. She is with her third private owners from new, having always been berthed here on the UK South Coast.
 
Powered by a pair of the larger-option MAN R6 800 shaft drive diesel engines, she is effortless through the water and offers docile close-quarters manoeuvring due to a rare (and highly expensive!) proportional hydraulic bow and stern upgrade from build. 

With a little over 250hrs running from new, she has seen extremely light use and her present condition is well above-average for her year.
 
Many many recent upgrades have been carried out by her enthusiastic owners, a full detailed spreadsheet with all costings is available to interested parties, but in excess of £100k has been spent since Autumn 2021. Re-launched in late March, she has recently undergone all pre-season maintenance works - including fresh antifouling, anodes, hull polishing etc. Engine service carried out Sep 22 by main dealers PME, she is truly turn-key and ready to set sail into the 2023 season and beyond.
 
Inventory highlights include aforementioned thrusters, new flybridge bimini, full suite of Raymarine navigation equipment - colour plotters, radar, autopilot, docking camera, DSC VHF, AIS transceiver, reverse-cycle air conditioning system (inc crew cabin), hydraulic passerelle, hydraulic high-low bathing platform, TVs to all cabins plus high-low unit in saloon with surround sound system, teak decking to cockpit sole, bathing platform & flybridge floor, flybridge cool box and BBQ, Pepwave 4G onboard router system, bow sunbathing cushions, JPS joystick system with dynamic positioning, dishwasher, upgraded 11kVA generator, underwater lighting and much more.
