Manta 42 MK 2 2005 Catamaran for Sale St Augustine Florida USA



Manta Catamarans have always held a premier position amongst the sail and power cruising community. Manta’s history began with the Manta 38 evolving into a 40 and further into their final release in a 42 sailing catamaran for sale. Manta in later years added the Manta Power 44 Catamaran for sale which rounded out the production models of Manta. Manta has held the position of being one of the very few builders here in the United States providing U.S. built catamarans for sale.

Recently, I have had the privilege to list “Emerald Dream” a 2005 MK 2 42’ Manta 42 Catamaran for sale located St Augustine FL USA currently land stored at St Augustine Marine. She is an interesting listing in that as built, she was equipped with most of the Manta provided options, sailed briefly by her owner, due to the owners other commitments, this vessel was put into storage and has received little use since then. She has then received very light use with approx. 200 hours on her hull and systems.

Mike Houghton, Owner Operator at Sail Abaco Sunshine Getaways and another Manta 42 owner has assisted in overseeing her freshening which is currently on going St Augustine Marine. I do want to personally thank both he and Margaret for their efforts. It is always a pleasure to work with an individual who knows a particular model as well as Mike and Margaret do in making sure that the attention needed comes from someone who knows the boat. Both from a guys "eye" as well as the ladies.

Besides Emerald Dream, The Catamaran Company has (2) further listings of Manta Catamarans for sale. A 2006 Manta 42 MK II Catamaran for sale Island Dreams in the British Virgin Islands BVI and a 1997 Manta 40 Sailing Catamaran for sale Mr. C.O. Jones currently lying Fort Lauderdale Florida.

If you are interested in the purchase of a Manta Catamaran, please do take the opportunity to contact me John Anderson most anytime at 954.821.6450 or email john.andreson@catamarans.com I am sure that you will enjoy the experience!

Privilege 45 Catamaran becomes Intercoastal Friendly!


Just completed by St Augustine Marine, this very well kept and re-fitted Privlege 45 is Now Intercoastal Friendly!

The fractional rigs of many catamarans does allow for a "quick fix" when travels in restricted waterways due to mast height is an issue. In this case Andrew was able to remove 3' from the top of the mast and with some minor work to the main sail have this cat ready for travels on the East Coast intercoastal water ways. Andrews comment? "it was easy!"

Privilege 51 Catamaran "On the Rail" St Augustine Marine


The Privilege 51 Catamaran for sale represents one of the outstanding "work horses" of the Crewed Yacht Industry. Many of these Yachts have been converted over to lovely private yachts with full worldwide cruising potential. In the series of this era was the Privilege 42 Privilege 43 updated to the Privilge 45. The Privilege 48 482 which then was converted to the Privilege 51 and the "flagship of the fleet" The Privilege 65 Catamaran where there are selective catamarans for sale on a global basis.

I have been invloved with this build from new to previously owned for many years and would be happy to discuss the merits of these fine catamarans. Need some work done? St Augustine Marine is a perfect place. Lift and Rail capacities to near 40' beam.
