Used Sail Catamaran for sale Manta 42 Vessel Summary

Boat Description

Love this yacht and lifestyle but it’s time for us to move on. Six years ago we looked at all the other catamaran brands and were disappointed with so many impractical design decisions for our needs–until we came across a Manta. It was love at first sight and we’ve never regretted that decision. We’ve had so much fun living on her, cruising from Bahamas to Maine, and continuing to improve on the legendary Manta design.

We are currently returning from cruising in Maine, likely somewhere between NC and Florida. We’ll load more pictures as able. Just contact us to hear our story and answer any questions. Tell us what you’re plans are. Maybe Tiki Hej is in your future.

The owners have lived aboard for 5 years and are returning from Maine, en route to Florida. They continue living aboard and cruising until she sells, keeping her well maintained and ready to go. For sale by owner, as-is. The owner requires financial settlement only. No trades.

MANTA SAILING CATAMARANS ARE LEGENDARY
They are thoughtfully designed, well-built catamarans for COUPLES to BLUE-WATER cruise. EASY TO SINGLE-HAND SAIL, great PERFORMANCE, owner and guest COMFORT, SAFETY, and the list of Manta advantages goes on and on. The MANTA OWNERS COMMUNITY and collaboration site is second to none with fun, knowledgeable cruisers to rendezvous with and get support and exchange cruising plans.

TIKI HEJ IS SPECIAL
Tiki Hej is UNIQUELY OUTFITTED to make her even more simple, light, efficient, safe, and comfortable. She finished a major refit in early 2025 with NEARLY EVERY SYSTEM upgraded prior to cruising to Maine. One of the upgrades, and this is really a big benefit, is that the OLD CARPET interior and HEADLINER was REMOVED and REPLACED with a lighter, INSULATED material and cover that is bright, lovely, durable, and easy-to-maintain. No “old boat” smell. ROPE LED lighting throughout. INSULATION is a game-changer upgrade.

TIKI HEJ IS ENERGY EFFICIENT
Tiki Hej has 1155W SOLAR, a 1400Ah LITHIUM house bank, and new MABRU AIR CONDITIONING units that may make Tiki Hej among the most energy-efficient catamarans on the market. Running AC or HEAT while ON THE HOOK is a game-changer. A SINGLE 30A SHORE POWER connection is all that is needed to run all systems in the rare event you even want to hook up to shore power. Usually not needed. The GENERATOR was REMOVED as it’s no longer needed. Less weight, less maintenance, more storage. ??

Example: The owners have enjoyed hot summer days and the cooler autumn weather and colors returning from Maine. They anchored out entirely 5 1/2 months enjoying the New England coast in INSULATED, AC/heat COMFORT. The insulation knocks down the heat on hot days and draftiness on cool days.
