Sunseeker Manhattan 55 test drive | How do you improve a £1m winning formula? Motor Boat & Yachting

[@gsmith207]

Just wow. She’s a beauty. Would definitely have the crew quarters. Need a captain to take over when too many cheers have happened. Would live on this.

[@jaffaholland4039]

Sunseeker are amazing, the new range of boats show why they are so popular. The quality of the work and the eye of detail, with ease of use makes them in my view stand out as the boats to buy. You are right to point out the key features like the fridge drawers rather than full height fridge. The excellent integrated boat systems. The engine space, the list of options. Overall a stunning boat.

[@nicbennett6554]

That’s looks about perfect for a 55’ flybridge. Not sure they could improve again! Thanks for showing us around Jack 👍

[@tonybazz53]

I like hearing the actual cost of the various options. Not much to complain about on this well thought out and executed yacht.

[@matthewmartin1970]

Great review of a great boat. Space, pace and grace. It's got it all.

[@nickwebb9290]

Excellent review as always. Sunseekers just get better and better

[@cookiemonster2299]

Brilliantly edited video and presentation, lovely boat too.👍❤️🇬🇧

[@jasonissel217]

very nice eye candy, those types of boats make great wallpaper.

[@raydowley1038]

very nice and a nice tour Jack

[@ianscott3180]

I am a sailing man but when I think of the times we motor in a flat calm from the Solent to Cherbourg. Gosh! cruising at 20 plus knots, three times our normal speed. Tempting but I am too set in my ways now. The small matter of a million might also have something to do with it. I love the videos though.

[@veewee4826]

Ive been waiting for this review for so long, damn lovely boat. Thanks for the video.

[@120Livi]

really love this boat, one thing that i see a lot of that i think would bug me is the sofa having a fixed dining table, great for meal times but a pain in the evening if you'd like to slob out on the sofa watching TV. shame they cant devise a solution for it to somehow tuck away. I've definitely seen systems (with smaller tables admittedly) where the seat bases come off the sofa and the table folds into the sofa structure. Would make sense as in a full day that saloon space is only used for eating for a few short periods and you're left with a big imposing table for the remaining time.

[@patrickmolloy6994]

I agree. fold that table away and suddenly you've a lot more open space. that would;d be lovely.

[@keith-777]

Surely a slightly smaller hi/lo table would be much better. Coffee table in normal use and dining table if and when you are not dining outside in the cockpit or on the flybridge. Makes much more sense.

[@Ivan-fy5dx]

Always really informative Jack, you know what you are talking about, giving good advice, giving heads up that I think "oh that's a good one, I never would have guessed that". Really great fun to watch your videos! Keep up to good work 👍

[@jackhaines123]

I appreciate that, thanks for watching.

[@Old-Mad-Tom]

Well done! Nicely updated design! 👍🏻

[@xrplover2785]

Great video, beautiful boat. Thank you!

[@GarnockReviews]

Really enjoyed this review. Well done! Personally, I wish there was a door at the lower helm, especially if you are aiming at owner operator cruising.

[@keith-777]

Totally agree. If they promote owner/operator use, then facilitate it with a helm door.

[@badgerific]

Great review, one of the best I’ve seen you do!

[@computerbob06]

The perfect sized family boat, you can enjoy with friends in the med etc! Congrats on the 100k subscribers too, missed that, when did that happen?

[@jackhaines123]

A couple of months back! Thanks for watching.

[@computerbob06]

@@jackhaines123 Sorry Jack. I watch every video that comes out - just missed the subscriber count sorry.

[@scottsmott5657]

Great review. Excellent family boat.

[@Dream4Design]

Sold! I found my boat! And yes, reallllyyyyy great review!

[@derekclarke917]

Another very informative review from Jack but I’m interested to know if the IPS drives would deliver the increase in performance and reduction in fuel that IPS is always credited with? It would make a great back to back test to trial both versions on a 55 to give a really helpful guidance to buyers.

[@alexreid4131]

I’m puzzled by the decision to make the TV a fixed feature. Can’t imagine customer feedback asked for that from the 52 experience.

[@amantedelmondo1787]

When will we see a full door by the helm station as a standard feature? They seem very useful at connecting rapidly both the interior and the exterior. I think that's a feature they should have as an option.

[@lgriestra]

Very good video. As the yacht.

[@markward3242]

Great review well made

[@alangebbie8848]

Lovely boat but personally I think the dark wood closes in the lobby.Sunseekers are so classy however I don’t like the word “option”for a lot of standard stuff on over marques

[@beibei93]

Definitely big enough boat to have a large battery pack to reduce fuel consumption and engine wear during short trips.

[@Thjonsson1]

Boats are not cars. Take a look at the infrastructure, for charge stations for boats😂 you can fuel these boats with hvo 100 aswell

[@vannevels6758]

The only thing missing is fold out bulwarks in the cockpit and maybe bigger fuel tanks.

[@pilotnelson4507]

Starting to see "Space 1999" interior design line several yachts. Cleaned lines, geometric cuts.

[@keith-777]

Not that I am an expert, but £1.7M seems quite good for what you get from a leading brand. What would be the cost to have the hardtop in place of the bimini and its wires?

[@machiavellian7490]

A fine vessel

[@DavesBoat]

was that thruster controls in the wet bar end cupboard ?

[@jackhaines123]

No, that's a storage space and they had the screen protectors for the upper helm screens in there.

[@DavesBoat]

@@jackhaines123 haha never noticed that just looked like thrusters in the quick spin past them :)

[@cbrusharmy]

So lovely

[@pilotnelson4507]

@11:15 at the helm, "No door, but a window, (sic) for a bit of fresh air and you can torture your crew." 😈 😅

[@jamesryan1026]

I’m buying a new boat and interested in which one to buy, Sunseeker M55 or Predator 55 evo. Or princess alternative, f55 and v55?

[@veewee4826]

id say this, Sunseeker manhattan 55 is just on another level compared to the other options, but ofcourse its your preference.

[@triedproven9908]

My kinda house boat.

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker

[@darthkek1953]

I can already feel the hard corners of the galley digging into me.

[@jamesryan1026]

M55 or M52?

[@patrickmolloy6994]

how much for a kidney? I NEED this gorgeous yacht.

[@marcsmilen6565]

Lazarra makes a better configuration of boat

[@63mckenzie]

Do boats need a TV licence?

[@mattpurcy7504]

Uewww that 55 emblem did not look straight!!! Not good for a 1M Pound yacht!

[@alistairkeppler2225]

You talk to fast. Be natural. Cool boat though.

[@tacodias]

I disagree! Jack is one of the best yacht communicators out there
