Be notified first when new cataramans for sale are added. The majority of catamaran owners want cash and will not consider trades. Trades will not be considered unless their advertisement specifically says otherwise.

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

Manta 40 Custom

S/V Ruatahi started life as a 1999 Manta 40 and is now a Manta 46 catamaran for sale by owner.

I worked with a famous Naval Architect (Gunboat fame amongst other things) to see if we couldn’t improve the motion and load carrying capabilities also to bump the performance up a little. The sterns have been extended, and she’s about 46’ LOA now. The rudders have been extended also to give better control.

Ruatahi has many other customizations and upgrades including an extended mast, “kiwi prop” saildrives, and a Hurricane diesel hot water and heating system. Contact me to see her!
