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.
