About Manari

Manari Yachts was introduced in 2025 as a new brand headquartered in Miami, with its yachts built in Turkey. Its exterior and interior design come from Red Yacht Design, the London studio, and the launch model was presented at the Palm Beach International Boat Show in March 2026.

The brand's ambition is a range stretching from about 42 feet to a flagship above 100 feet, with a semi-custom approach in which owners can choose finishes and color palettes. For now, however, Manari should be understood as a newcomer with one model in the water, and that is an important part of any honest conversation about it. The brand is building a presence beyond Florida, with representation in European and Asian yachting centers, but its track record is still being written.

The Manari 52 is a sporting yacht with pod drives and a low, clean profile, intended for fast coastal cruising and long days on the water, with overnight accommodation below. It occupies the same world as Mediterranean day cruisers and performance yachts that owners in South Florida and the Riviera know well.

Manari's range is at an early stage. Only one model has been launched; further sizes have been announced but not yet delivered.

Buying a Manari yacht

Buying from a new brand calls for a different kind of diligence. Beyond the yacht itself, a buyer should understand who stands behind the warranty, how after-sales service and parts will be handled in the owner's cruising area, and how the build and quality control are managed at the Turkish yard. Daniel helps clients ask these questions early and document the answers.

An independent survey and a proper sea trial remain essential even on a new yacht. It is also worth thinking about resale: with little brokerage history, there are no sold comparables yet, so buyers should choose a Manari because it suits how they use a yacht rather than as an investment. The buying guide explains the wider process.

How to buy a yacht

Selling a Manari yacht

Selling an early Manari means building the case from first principles. Without a trading record, Daniel positions the yacht against established performance cruisers of similar size and specification, emphasizing condition, equipment and low hours, and explains the pricing logic openly to the owner. Any transferable warranty and the builder's service arrangements become part of the offer, and are worth documenting carefully.

Owners gain from presenting a young brand where discerning buyers gather, in Miami and Palm Beach or along the Riviera, and from Daniel's contact with cooperating brokers who know the segment. A private valuation gives a sensible starting point.

Manari new builds

For clients drawn to a new Manari, Daniel can help clarify the specification, review contract terms, payment stages and delivery commitments, and coordinate between the owner, the brand, its designers and an owner's representative, so that enthusiasm for a fresh design is matched by careful protection.

Why work with Daniel Grant

Daniel's independence matters most with a new brand. He has no reason to overstate Manari's case and every reason to compare it fairly with proven alternatives. With Reel Deal Yachts' Miami brokerage behind him, he offers a personal and discreet service between Florida, New York and Europe.

For some clients the right answer will be a Manari; for others, an established Italian or Dutch performance yacht of similar size. Daniel's role is to lay out those choices plainly, including the trade-offs in service, resale and delivery time, and to leave the decision where it belongs, with the owner.

Questions owners ask

Where are Manari yachts built?

Manari Yachts is headquartered in Miami, and its yachts are built in Turkey, a country with a substantial composite yacht-building industry. Design is by Red Yacht Design in London. Buyers should ask the brand directly about the yard, its quality control and after-sales support in their cruising area.

What is the Manari 52?

The Manari 52 is the brand's first model, a fast motor yacht of about 52 feet with Volvo Penta IPS pod drives. It combines a sporting profile with large outdoor living areas and overnight accommodation below. It made its public debut at the Palm Beach International Boat Show in March 2026.

Is it wise to buy from a new yacht brand?

It can be, provided the diligence is thorough. Buyers should understand the warranty, service network, build oversight and contract terms, and commission an independent survey. Resale values are harder to judge without sold comparables, so the decision should rest mainly on how well the yacht suits the owner's plans.
