19m Sunseeker Manhattan 62 Motor Yacht Charter Antalya | 1998 | MR1903

A motor yacht charter Antalya starts on the Lycian coast rather than the Aegean, with Kemer an hour west, the sunken city at Kekova half a day beyond it and the Taurus mountains standing over every anchorage. This 19-metre Sunseeker Manhattan 62 takes six guests in three cabins, with a skipper and chef included and fuel in the rate.

Twin 800-horsepower diesels, a flybridge helm and a bow thruster make her quick along a coast where the good bays are far apart. For a motor yacht charter Antalya that reaches Olympos, Adrasan and Kas inside a week, the speed is the point.

Nineteen metres, refitted in 2019

She measures 19 metres overall, 62 feet, with a beam of 5 metres and a draught of 2 metres. Teak is laid aft and on the flybridge, and the electronics run to radar, autopilot, bow thruster and an outside GPS plotter. Tankage holds 3,300 litres of fuel and 800 litres of fresh water, with a generator for the nights at anchor.

A skipper and a chef are both included in the rate, along with the transit log, deposit insurance, the dinghy outboard, onboard WiFi and the fuel itself. On a motor yacht charter Antalya the galley decides the week, and hers carries a dishwasher, oven, microwave, freezer, ice maker and a coffee machine.

A week on a motor yacht charter Antalya usually runs west past Kemer to Phaselis and the ruins on the beach, on to Adrasan and Olympos, then round Cape Gelidonya to Kekova and the drowned Lycian walls at Simena. Longer routes reach Kas and the Greek island of Kastellorizo opposite it.

The kitchens worth the detour on this coast cannot be reached by road. Boat-in only tables at Ucagiz, Gokkaya and the bays below Adrasan serve what came aboard that morning, grilled over wood, and the crew books a buoy ahead so dinner is a step from the platform.

Saloon, galley and living space

The saloon is finished in high-gloss cherry with a curved settee, an oval dining table, a lower helm forward and air conditioning throughout. A motor yacht charter Antalya is judged partly on the hours out of the sun, and this room, wide and bright, handles them.

Forward and down, the galley runs along one side with a full fridge and freezer and a hatch onto the side deck. A generator holds air conditioning overnight at anchor without the main engines running, and the yacht carries heating for shoulder-season weeks.

Three cabins

Three cabins sleep six: a full-beam master amidships, a VIP forward and a twin, each with its own heads and shower. Every cabin on this motor yacht charter Antalya has air conditioning, timber joinery, hull windows or portlights and stowage built into the berth base.

On deck and in the water

The flybridge carries a second helm, seating and a sun pad under a bimini, with a further pad forward and a bathing platform aft. A motor yacht charter Antalya here includes a dinghy with a free outboard, a kayak, snorkelling sets, a fishing set, an audio system with inside and outside speakers and a freshwater deck shower.

The city she works from, Antalya, sits at the head of a gulf ringed by the Lycian and Pamphylian ruins, and a motor yacht charter Antalya reaches the ones the coach tours never do.
