Manhattan
Manhattan is designed in the style of the motor yachts used by New York’s wealthy elite to commute to the city from their estates in the early 20th century. They were long, elegant, and known for their speed.
She provides luxury accommodations with her yacht quality wood finish and joinery; minimal noise and vibration; and full air-conditioning. As a commercial passenger vessel, she also provides a generous galley.
This gorgeous, buff-hulled 80-foot, Twenties-style yacht offers elegance and comfort, wrapped in turn-of-the-century tradition. She is equipped with teak decks and mahogany trim. Her spectacular cabin features an all-glass observatory, cushioned seating, conversation-friendly tables, and a well appointed bar; all of which provide you and your guests with stunning panoramic views within climate-controlled comfort.
