Owner Experience Review
Owners use the 52 ManhattanfromSunseekerprimarily for family cruising and sociable weekends. The three-cabin layout, aft galley that serves the cockpit through a sliding window, and options for a crew/utility cabin suit weekend and overnight trips. A large cockpit, flybridge dining area and beach-club setup make day entertaining straightforward, and many run the boat owner-operated for coastal hops rather than with a full-time crew.
On the water, owners describe a reassuring ride in rougher patches with enough power to drive out of trouble, and notably responsive low-speed maneuvering that can “spin on a sixpence.” Performance varies with engine and drive, from twin MAN R6 800 hp on shafts to Volvo/Volvo Penta D11 with IPS, with reported top speeds around 30–31 knots and an economical cruise near 10–11 knots depending on load and conditions.
Accommodation is praised for space and livability, particularly the generous owner’s cabin with seating/dinette and the quality of interior woodwork and finish. Practical ownership notes from forums include UV-related discoloration of some wood surfaces and isolated early gelcoat cracking, so buyers are advised to survey wood finishes, gelcoat, thrusters, and steering/rudder bearings carefully. Engine-room access is workable with near-standing headroom, and service planning will reflect the chosen engine package and whether the boat is on shafts or IPS.
Pros and Cons
- Sociable layout with an aft galley and sliding window, plus generous cockpit and flybridge dining, suits entertaining.
