I have a ton of respect for the folks at Manari Yachts who recently debuted their Manari 52 in Palm Beach simply because I know how much passion, courage, and hard work it takes to debut a new yacht model. And I’m impressed with the Manari 52 because everything from its sleek exterior profile, Loro Piana fabrics in the interior, and top speed of 47-knots seem perfectly suited to the South Florida lifestyle.

That makes sense because the company is based in Miami. But the brand is quite international. They worked with Red Yacht Design (exterior lines) and Eureka Yachts (engineering) in Turkey. Naval architecture was done by Mulder Design in the Netherlands. Of course, the Loro Piana fabrics in the interior were crafted in Italy.
On deck, the aft platform is centered on a large sun pad and an oval-shaped table in the shade of the hardtop while a wet bar, grill and fridge provide everything you need to entertain on deck. Comfortable upholstered seating around a table fills the V-shape of the bow.

Below deck, the Loro Piana fabrics in the interior are accented by premium Italian leathers and woodwork by Tabu. The lounge is bathed in natural light from the full-length hull window. Large cushy couches line the hull and there’s the option of a large, flush-mounted TV, with a coffee nook and a fridge too.

The master cabin features plenty of space for a king-size bed and storage. A second double cabin is laid out for guests amidships and both have access to a bathroom with walk-in shower.

Performance-oriented yacht owners will love the Manari 52’s attention-getting top speed of 47-knots and razor-sharp handling. While all boaters will appreciate the easy-to-use joystick control, quiet, vibration-free operation of the IPS system, and the rock-solid stability a Seakeeper makes possible.
