The Beneteau 9.80 “Manta” is a beautifully maintained 2005 motor boat combining comfort and performance. Powered by twin Nanni inboard engines (~1100 hours) she cruises at 18 knots, reaching 24 knots. This vessel has been carefully used around Cardiff and benefits from consistent maintenance, including engine service, antifouling, polishing, new anchor chain, diesel heater, gas lines, and a host of other upgrades. 

The spacious saloon, fully equipped galley, and comfortable cabins make her ideal for day trips or longer cruising in style.

BROKERS REMARKS
I sold “Manta” to her current owners a couple of years ago, and they have looked after her meticulously, using her carefully around Cardiff. They’ve invested in the ongoing upkeep, making her a lovely, well-maintained motor boat with all the essential maintenance and upgrades taken care of. She’s comfortable, easy to handle, and ready for her next owner to enjoy on the water.
