About
S/V TnA is a Puerto Rico based 1997 Manta 40 Catamaran for sale. Our 5-year sailing phase turned into 17 and we have now decided to buy a new boat so the TnA is for sale. Manta catamarans were built in Florida from the late 1990s to the late 2000s. The Manta is unmistakably recognizable from a distance with her trademark high bows and a massively curved integrated forward crossbeam.
This is a true blue water vessel that is comfortable, spacious, and a real pleasure to sail. Tons of solar power all refrigeration and DC without the use of the engines. Water maker. Solar shower for constant hot water. Comfortable owners cabin port-side with walk-in shower. The bridge deck cover serves as a water catcher.
Manta catamarans have developed and maintained a loyal following of knowledgeable cruisers. These yachts are known for their sound construction, excellent performance, and ease of sailing by one person.
The owners cruise on the boat about 2 months per year, the rest of the time she gets hauled out and stored on the hard so she is in excellent condition, fresh bottom paint and both engines serviced. All of the pictures were taken in the last 2 weeks (now Feb 15). We have more pics available so feel free to contact us through the website with questions. Currently, the boat is in Fajardo Puerto Rio and is available for test sails.
She is complete with a 110% furling genoa, twin sheeted main, twin Volvo MD2030 diesel, Honda 2200 generator, Rainman 30g watermaker (both like new). 700 watts of solar that keep 750 ah of Deka D cell batteries charged up. Comes with a 10ft AB dingy and a 15hp Yamaha, both in great shape. New teak flooring on rear steps, cockpit, interior steps and bathroom. Massive fridge and freezer, large galley up, 3 cabins.
Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb
I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.
Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.
Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.
I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.
Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.
