The Manta 40 is an upgraded version of the Manta 38 by extending the hull length for better performance and handling, with added headroom and other improvements. Production started in 1995 continuing to build the 40 with Endeavour in Clearwater, Florida.

Manta Catamarans utilize the best yacht manufacturing technology available, to offer a vessel that is ocean capable and ready for serious offshore cruising, with a minimum of maintenance. The hull, deck, and bulkheads are constructed of triaxial, biaxial, & unidirectional stitched fiberglass with vinylester, isophthalic resins, and Nida (polypropylene honeycomb) core that is vacuum bagged for stiffness, strength, and light weight. Other construction characteristics:

• Hull fastened to deck chemically and mechanically
• Collision bulkheads with water tight compartments in bows
• Deck hardware reinforced with aluminum plates molded into layup
• Twin fiberglass fin keels molded integral with hulls
• Twin high density foam/fiberglass rudders with 2″ diameter solid stainless steel shaft
