A new name has entered the yachting scene, and it did so with a confident first statement.
Manari Yachts unveiled its debut model, the Manari 52, at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, introducing a yacht that clearly aims to redefine expectations in the 50-foot segment. From the very first presentation, interest around the model was strong, attracting industry insiders and visitors eager to experience a yacht that positions itself closer to superyacht standards than typical boats of its size.
A design-led debut with serious backing
The Manari 52 sets the tone for the brand from the outset, combining a strong design identity with high-level technical development.
The exterior lines, drawn by Red Yacht Design, deliver a sleek and contemporary profile with a clear presence on the water. Naval architecture comes from Mulder Design, bringing decades of performance expertise, while engineering has been developed by Eureka Yachts, ensuring a robust technical foundation.
This collaboration results in a yacht that feels mature and well-resolved, rather than experimental, despite being the brand’s first model.
Living at the water’s edge
Manari’s philosophy is centred around the experience onboard, and the Manari 52 is designed to maximise time spent close to the water.
At anchor, the aft section transforms into a generous beach club area. Fold-down wings extend the usable space, while integrated steps provide direct and easy access to the sea. A large sunpad dominates the stern, complemented by a shaded dining area for six guests beneath the hardtop.
A fully equipped wet bar, grill and fridge are seamlessly integrated, creating a social hub designed for long, relaxed days onboard.
The foredeck offers a second lounge space, with a triple sunbed and deep seating arranged around a table, delivering a more private and elevated setting with uninterrupted views.
A refined interior concept
Below deck, the Manari 52 continues with a strong focus on material quality and detail.
Interiors feature Loro Piana fabrics, bespoke wood finishes by Tabu and premium Italian leathers, creating a space that leans more towards contemporary residential design than traditional yacht interiors.
The main lounge benefits from generous headroom and natural light through the full-length hull window, while the layout includes a forward master cabin with a semi-island king-size bed and a second guest cabin amidships.
The bathroom follows a spa-like approach, with a walk-in shower, clean surfaces and carefully integrated lighting, reinforcing the sense of understated luxury.
Performance at the forefront
Performance is a key pillar of the Manari 52’s identity.
Powered by Volvo IPS propulsion, the yacht reaches speeds of up to 47 knots, combining fast cruising with precise handling and reduced noise levels. The intuitive joystick system enhances manoeuvrability, while the optional Seakeeper gyrostabiliser improves comfort both underway and at anchor.
Rather than focusing purely on speed figures, the design emphasises a balanced onboard experience where performance and comfort coexist.
A brand with global ambitions
Manari Yachts enters the market with an international outlook, supported by a presence in Florida, the Mediterranean and Asia.
The Manari 52 is not just a debut model, but a clear introduction to the brand’s direction: design-driven, performance-oriented and focused on delivering a refined onboard lifestyle.
