PRELOVED | 2001 SUNSEEKER MANHATTAN 64

ABOVE Protected by a canvas bimini, the flybridge deck offers countless options for on-water relaxation. LEFT Wide side decks
offer easy access to the bow sunpad and there’s no denying the determined looks of that Sunseeker hull from front on.

T

here’s no mistaking the lines of a

Sunseeker. Even from a distance, that

characteristic low-slung silhouette could

never be mistaken for a lesser vessel and up close,

the seductive sheerline and jaunty rear wing just

scream “Good times ahead!”

Of course, if that sporty shape and the

rumble from twin MAN diesels don’t have you

completely convinced this sports yacht is ready to

party, then the name will leave you in no doubt.

Sinseeker is 64-feet of British built opulence

and absolutely licensed to thrill with top speeds

of 34 knots. Now all she needs is a new owner to

step onboard and point her bows in the direction

of the next adventure.

AVANT GARDE BRIT

Offered by Gold Coast brokers Leigh-Smith

Yachts, this is a stunning example of one

of Sunseeker’s most successful models, the

Manhattan 64. 

That air of sophistication and individualism is a

Sunseeker hallmark and these vessels have always

been a little more avant garde than some other

UK marques, with reverse sheer, big elliptical

windows and rakish lines reminiscent of some

Italian boatbuilders.

But underneath, Sinseeker is all British class and

despite her length, is surprisingly easy to handle.

Electronic controls ensure gear and throttle

changes are smooth and precise and twin control

stations – plus a bow thruster – make tight

quarters manoeuvring a piece of cake for this

19.69m hull.

The twin MAN 1050s are the biggest engines

offered for this boat and the power on tap

becomes apparent when you dump the throttle in

the open water.
