The Sunseeker Manhattan 68 makes a strong case for the classic Riviera charter, the kind that moves easily between a swim off Pampelonne and an evening back in St Tropez. At just over twenty one metres, she balances presence with ease, a motor yacht built for both entertaining and quiet time on the water.
The design opens outward. Portuguese bridge seating at the bow gives a private spot for morning coffee, while the beach club aft brings guests right down to the water, blurring the line between deck and sea. In between, generous social spaces flow from the saloon to the shaded aft deck, ideal for a long lunch or a gathering as the light fades over the gulf.
Below, four cabins host eight guests overnight, each finished with the comfort Sunseeker is known for. Large windows draw the coastline inside, and a well equipped galley supports everything from a relaxed breakfast to a considered dinner. Two crew look after the details, present when needed and unobtrusive otherwise.
What the Manhattan 68 does especially well is versatility. She suits a family week exploring the coast as naturally as an evening spent at anchor with friends. Snorkelling gear is aboard for the clear water stops that define a St Tropez day.
Set out in the morning, follow the coast, and let the afternoon decide how long to stay.
