Accomodations

The Manhattan 48 is remarkably equipped with three separate sleeping cabins and two full heads, maximizing overnight capacity.

  1. Master Stateroom (Forward): Located in the bow for maximum privacy. This cabin is the most luxurious, featuring a centerline island queen berth for easy access from both sides. It includes significant storage with cedar-lined hanging lockers and drawers.

    • En Suite Head: The master cabin enjoys a private head with a vanity, an electric marine toilet,  and, critically, a separate stall shower.

  2. Step down Port Guest Cabin: This midship cabin typically features one large berth and a large closet.

  3.  Starboard Quest Cabin with convertible twin berths that will glide together to form a full-size 

  • Day Head/Guest Head: The main or day head is accessed from the lower companionway and often serves the two guest cabins. Like the master head, it includes a separate stall shower.
