Just returned from a winter in the Bahamas! Introducing the Manta 40 Catamaran, a remarkable vessel built in 1998, measuring an impressive 39.08 feet in overall length. This used catamaran features a robust fiberglass hull with a twin keel design, ensuring stability and performance on the water. Powered by two reliable Volvo D1-30 inboard engines, each delivering 30 hp, it offers a cruising speed of 7 knots and a maximum hull speed of 8.37 knots, making it ideal for both leisurely sails and spirited adventures. Accommodating up to 10 guests, the Manta 40 boasts three comfortable cabins and two heads, perfect for extended voyages. The electric windlass enhances convenience during anchoring, while the spacious layout provides ample room for relaxation and entertainment. With its combination of performance, comfort, and thoughtful features, the Manta 40 Catamaran, named "SOJOURN," is ready to create unforgettable memories on the water.
