Proof That AFFORDABLE Bluewater Catamarans Exist! [Full Tour] Learning the Lines
Manta Catamarans are one of the only catamarans that were built in the USA, and are arguable the only BLUEWATER catamarans built in the states. Unfortunately, Manta is out of business, so there aren't any new Mantas for sale, but the older ones are still strong, light, and bluewater capable. They're built to live aboard and cross oceans, and it's readily apparent in every aspect of the design. We were very impressed! They're also built for performance, and although most have mini-keels, there are a few will daggerboards. I'd love to see how a Manta with daggerboards performs. It could be a serious contender for our next boat! This particular boat I believe is priced fairly at $219,000, pending a survey, and it goes to show you that you don't have to drop half a million dollars on a good catamaran to cross oceans. We're glad to be back and touring boats! Rest assured that we're going to make as many boat tour videos as we can over summer while still practicing social distancing the best we can.
