Moonlight Drive Motor Yacht
About Moonlight Drive
33 knots at full throttle puts Moonlight Drive well into performance-flybridge territory, a pace her 23-knot cruising speed backs up rather than contradicts. Sunseeker built her as a Manhattan in 2015, and she is offered for sale from Marina del Rey, California.
Build and provenance
The Manhattan is Sunseeker's flybridge model at this length, built in 2015 with a fibreglass hull that keeps her light for her size. A flybridge layout adds a second outdoor helm and lounge above the main deck, extending the living space upward as well as aft.
Layout and accommodation
Four cabins sleep eight guests, a configuration built around that flybridge layout, with the main deck salon and helm doing double duty as the yacht's social hub. She is sized for a family or a group of friends rather than for a large standing crew on a separate deck.
Performance and engineering
Her 23-knot cruise and 33-knot top speed are the numbers of a planing hull built for pace along the coast rather than a slow ocean crossing, the kind of performance that turns a weekend run into an afternoon's outing. The fibreglass build keeps weight down, part of what lets her reach that speed.
Where she lies and how to see her
Moonlight Drive lies in Marina del Rey, California. Boatcrowd sets up viewings and is present for each one, and once an offer on her is accepted the survey and sea trial follow before the sale completes.

Buying Costs
- Survey
- A buyer normally commissions a condition survey, and a sea trial, once an offer is accepted and before the sale becomes unconditional. The cost depends on her size and on where she is lifted, and it is the buyer who appoints the surveyor.
- Registration and flag
- She will be registered on a flag of the buyer's choosing, which carries its own fees and its own survey and crew requirements. Where the yacht is owned through a company, the shares rather than the vessel may change hands, which changes what is payable.
- VAT and import
- Whether VAT is due, and where, depends on the yacht's current status, her flag, the buyer's residency and where she is delivered. Where the seller has stated her VAT status, it is shown with the asking price on her page, and it is confirmed in writing before an offer is made.
- Running costs
- Crew, berthing, insurance, class and annual maintenance continue from the day she is yours. A yacht that is also chartered earns against them, and we will set out what her season has actually returned before you commit.
