2007 Manta 44 Power Cat

Step aboard this 2007 Manta 44 Power Cat and the first thing you’ll notice is how naturally the layout flows for everyday living as well as passagemaking. The wide, secure side decks and high rails make line handling and anchoring less of a gymnastics routine, especially in a chop. Inside, the galley-down design keeps weight low while still feeling open to the salon, and there’s enough cold storage and worktop space for serious provisioning. The bridgedeck clearance is generous, cutting down on the pounding and noise that can wear you out on longer runs. Systems access is thoughtfully arranged, so routine checks on engines, wiring, and plumbing don’t require tearing the boat apart every time you want to turn a wrench.

The Manta 44 Power Cat shines in this region’s mix of skinny water and open stretches. Twin hulls and a modest draft let you slip into quiet anchorages that deeper monohulls can’t touch, yet the boat still has the legs for longer coastal hops when the forecast opens a window. The power cat platform stays level underway and at rest, which is a big plus when afternoon chop or passing squalls roll through. Wide deck spaces, solid handholds, and good visibility from the helm make docking in tight marinas and fuel docks less stressful. Add in efficient fuel burn at cruising speeds and you get impressive range without constantly hunting for the next fuel stop.
