White Manta - Liveaboard


MV White Manta is a 37 meter long steel motor yacht, IMO certified, very stable, strong with an enormous dive deck. This boat was clearly built by divers with years of experience for divers of the future at all diver certification levels. The MV White Manta boasts a large spacious outdoor dining area, an equally large indoor saloon with multimedia centre, surround sound system and widescreen plasma TV to show off your videography or photography from the days diving.

An expansive sundeck spans the length of the boat and incorporates loungers for those sun-worshippers. Alternatively, enjoy a soothing massage from the on-board masseuse. MV White Manta can cater up to 24 guests easily accommodated in 8 comfortable double & twin share en-suite cabins and 6 standard cabins with wash basins & share bathrooms set out as follows: 4 x VIP, King-size Double Cabins, 1 x Deluxe Twin Share Cabin, 1 Deluxe Combined Twin/ Double Cabin, 1 x Deluxe Triple Share Cabin, 1 x Deluxe Quad Share Cabin, 2 x Standard Twin Share Cabins, 4 x Standard Quad Share Cabin.

There was an original White Manta Liveaboard that guests may remember from previous years for Thailand and Malaysia that changed in 2010 to the current Dive Race Liveaboard. White Manta is also the sister ship to the luxurious Black Manta Liveaboard offering trips in Indonesia.

The great thing about the White Manta is her size and spaciousness the cabins have been very clearly thought out and it's also a great option for Private Charter groups, early booking will be essential as the White Manta is a very sought after liveaboard.
