Manari Yachts, the new name in luxury at sea, debuts with the Manari 52

A new player in the high-end yachting world is born. Based in Miami Beach with international roots, Manari Yachts is redefining the yacht as a private retreat and a place for unforgettable experiences. The first chapter is the Manari 52, a Mediterranean dayboat that marks the beginning of a range set to grow.

At the heart of Manari Yachts lies a simple idea: a yacht is not just a means of transportation, but a floating destination, a private sanctuary, and a stage for unforgettable moments. As Albert Franko, founder and CEO of Manari Yachts, explains “it’s not about reinterpreting the past, but about defining what luxury on the water should mean today and tomorrow”.

The first chapter: Manari 52

The inaugural model is the Manari 52, a Mediterranean dayboat that combines sculpted lines, refined details, and uncompromising performance. With rare features for its category, such as a fold-out side balcony and an extended aft platform, the 52 is designed to bring owners closer to the sea in a more direct and intimate way.

“With Manari we are not just designing yachts, we are shaping a brand that represents freedom, performance, and lifestyle. The 52 is only the beginning of a series that will inspire a new generation of enthusiasts”, says Fatih Sürekli, Managing Director of Red Yacht Design.

Uncompromising performance

Powered by two Volvo Penta IPS engines, the Manari 52 reaches 47 knots while ensuring maneuverability and cruising comfort. “We developed a highly efficient hull, capable of combining speed, stability, and fuel efficiency”, explains Bas Mulder, Naval Architect at Mulder Design. “The result is a perfect balance between performance and comfort, setting a new standard for a 52-foot dayboat”.

Technical precision and natural comfort

The design was entrusted to Eureka Yachts, which conceived the Manari 52 as a unified architecture: from the layout of the systems to onboard equipment and fittings, everything has been integrated with millimetric precision. “The result is excellent comfort and consistently balanced performance”, notes Sadik Ozum, the project’s technical director.

Manari Yachts, a global brand

With headquarters in Miami Beach, a strong European presence in Saint-Tropez and Palma, and a base in Hong Kong, Manari Yachts has already built an international network. Manari’s goal is not just to compete, but to shape a new vision of luxury on the water. The 52 is only the first step. In 2026, a smaller, fast, and refined model will be launched, while larger versions are already in development, taking the brand into the superyacht world. Each new model will maintain the same DNA of sculpted architecture, generous social spaces, and meticulous craftsmanship, with limited production and a style that reflects the unique personality of its owner.

Mattia Camera

I was born in Liguria, a stone's throw from the sea, with which I have a special and unbreakable relationship. Since middle school I had clear ideas: I wanted to be a journalist. I like to inform myself, understand what is going on around me and build my own opinion. After a few years in Milan, between study and work, during which I gained work and life experiences, the call of the sea became too strong and I moved back to my home.
