Accommodations Entry onto the boat is through gates both port and starboard or by stepping directly on the aft steps. The entry to the interior is through a true sea hatch/door. This door can be closed and made water tight from either side. The high threshold insures keeping the sea outside the boat. Once inside there is an L-shaped settee to starboard with an adjustable solid surface top. Forward to port is a large refrigerator and deep freeze. Maybe the best I've had the pleasure to use. To port is the chart table with storge under the lid. Also in this cabinet is the electrical panel. Aft to port is the full functional galley. To starboard of the galley is a large wet hanging locker. Down three steps to port you enter the dedicated master. The berth is aft, the head is forward and walkthrough between has shelves outboard and a large pantry inboard. Down into the starboard hull is a full athwartship berth aft, a head with shower and the forward cabin with a large single berth. Most manta owners use the forward berth for the "garage storage".
The interior finish is honey oak veneers with solid teak trim. Headliners are vinyl. The salon, master stateroom, VIP cabin and walkthrough areas are all high strength composite teak and holly. The remaining sole is white fiberglass. Hull walls are lined with a light colored Ozite carpet.
