1999 Manta 40

"Making Memories" - Manta 40 - has been updated and upgraded for independent cruising and off-grid adventures.

Its robust solar power system is so efficient that the owners cruised for months through Florida and the Bahamas without ever needing to run the generator. 

The system easily powers the water maker, hot water heater, and air conditioning for several hours at night—effortlessly handling onboard needs!

 According to the owners, battery levels consistently stayed above 40%, even with regular use—an impressive testament to the self-sufficiency this yacht offers.
