About
The Manta Mk-II is a US built bluewater vessel with an excellent reputation established as a serious Offshore liveaboard catamaran that can easily be singlehanded.
S/VR Is a Florida based 2005 Manta 42 Mk-II “owners” version layout. This vessel is outfitted for long-range cruising. The port hull features the owner’s suite with master stateroom aft and a private head with a separate shower forward. Midship has multiple built-in bookshelves and storage cabinets that line the port hull companionway. The starboard hull features an aft VIP guest stateroom and a forward guest stateroom. A guest head is shared and built-in bookcases line the companionway. The vessel includes a fully equipped galley and salon for lounging and entertaining.
At the helm one can handle every sail control with the electric winch. The main halyard, jib halyard, main sheet, jib sheet, and two single reef lines lead to the helm through deck organizer to sheet stoppers. There is also a custom spinnaker sock and turtle bag.
The hull, deck, bulkheads and sub-sole are vacuumed bagged using a varying lamination schedule of biaxial, triaxial and unidirectional cloth, cored with Core Cell ( hull & deck) and Nida Core honeycomb coring (bulkheads, sub-sole) and laminated with vinylester and isophthalic resins. Wetted surfaces below the waterline are solid GRP construction with vinylester resin. Above the waterline in the hull and deck isophthalic resin is used.
In the areas of thru-hulls, chainplates and deck hardware the construction is solid GRP. All deck hardware is thru-bolted with aluminum backing plates laminated into the respective location. Manta further uses Kevlar in the bow and keel areas. Thru-hull fittings and sea cocks are non-corrosive Marelon. The hull-to-deck bond is done with 3M 5200 marine adhesive/sealant and reinforced with 360-degree unidirectional laminates on the inside of the hull/deck bond for additional structural integrity and stiffness, creating a monocoque structure. The hull/deck seam is then finished with a heavy-duty vinyl rub rail.
All mechanical/electrical and plumbing systems are designed in accordance with ABYC standards using the best materials and equipment available to the marine industry, with the goal of reducing maintenance to a minimum.
Engine rooms are easily accessed via the aft berths with a hydraulic-assisted bunk lift and opening doors. The transmission comes with a pump-out tube, allowing oil to be changed/replaced without the need to haul it out.
Recent upgrades include all new Raymarine Nav instruments including wireless radar in 2019, wireless autopilot and windlass remotes and Axiom 12 chart plotter in 2019, Cruise Air air conditioning systems (salon unit new in 2021), aft unit new in 2018, 18 gph Spectra Newport water maker and New Isinglass in 2018.

I’ve used The Multihull Company to list and sell two catamarans in the past year and they have been excellent to work with. The first cat was a vessel (42 Lagoon) I had released from my charter company. We had som difficulties during the sale process with the buyer finalizing the purchase and TMC handled things beautifully and we were able to close as expected. The second, a 1997 Island Packet Cat, they were able to attract multiple potential buyers, in a fairly short period of time, and just before our sailing season ended here in Michigan. Will, Andrew, Riley and the rest of the team there have been excellent to work with. Very professional and responsive. As someone that has worked in sales and sales management for my entire career, I appreciate the process they have in place and their execution.
Yacht Broker Micheal Streng did a fantastic job helping us buy our dream retirement boat. He is pleasant, professional, smart, diligent, and totally focused toward ensuring the best outcome for us- his clients.
He helped us identify the key features we wanted. And, helped us then learn the market by seeing firsthand seeing all the boats available. How? By organizing a two day driving extravaganza to see as many boats available from dawn to dusk.
But, his crucial expert assistance continued throughout the whole buying process… helping us craft multiple offers and counter offers to ensure we “bought-right”!
His expertise continued with calmly helping us organize the multitude of details, from sourcing survey experts and renegotiating credits for issues… to ensuring our foreign manufactured vessel had duty paid receipts… thus all saving us much aggravation and thousands of dollars!
In closing, sourcing and buying a boat right has adventurous elements of the “wild-west”. Our Broker – Micheal Streng was our LoneRanger & Tonto… expertly guiding and helping us to help make our dream a reality.

We purchased a Lagoon 470 catamaran through Zvonimir (Zee) Kalinic, TMC’s broker in Croatia and Italy. Zee is the ultimate professional and by far the best broker we have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Thankyou Zee for your professionalism, guidance and support in securing this purchase for our family! Not an easy task being Australian and purchasing in a foreign country but thanks to your help and the assistance of Andrew Holland in the office, this process was made so much more stress free.
Thank you Zee and The Multihull Compnay!
Andrew Hodgdon was a pleasure to have as a broker. He was always there for me and I appreciated his help and professionalism. Thank you Andrew!! Highly recommended.
Just wish to share our thanks with Cal Landau and The Multihull Company for their service selling our catamaran that we owned for nearly 15yrs. Cal our broker in West Palm Beach was THE BEST!
He worked with us beyond the call of duty in helping us prep and moor our boat during some horrendous weather that came through last Winter and always offered to lend a hand while we were in West Palm procuring supplies. etc. Cal was always present to show the boat, learned about our boat systems to answer questions from shoppers and made a very informative listing with great photos and video that attracted a lot of action. I wish to highly recommend Cal and The Multihull Co if you’re planning on putting your boat on the market.
