This vessel has been maintained to a very high standard and the owner has the records to back it up. 

With it's expansive helm spacious salon, and open galley there is plenty of space to entertain. This very capable offshore vessel has everything you need to go to the Islands and beyond.

You will be impressed by it's large owner's suite and multiple guest cabins. This vessel is ready for private trips or charter. 

127 Manta catamarans were built in Florida between 1994 and 2009. The boats were intended for couples who wanted to live aboard and cruise on blue water. Some say the Manta is one of the more comfortable cruising catamarans to this day, with spacious accommodations, refined decks, and high-quality construction. All Mantas are solid glass below the waterline for safety and offer Nida Core coring above the waterline for lightweight, durable, moisture resistant construction. Mantas are very well regarded and capable offshore catamarans (several have circumnavigated), which are easily single-handed. The Manta owner’s forum is very active and supportive, with many very knowledgeable and helpful members.
