"The
New Catamaran Manta Raya!" From The Tico Times The Manta Raya Takes Over
Over the years, the Calypso Pacific Island Cruise has evolved into then
Number One day tour in Costa Rica. The venerable Calypso herself has been
retired to another route to make way for the Manta Raya, the vessel built
especially to satisfy every request made by Calypso passengers over the years.
Manta Raya has been described as "an ocean-going spaceship," built of space-age
materials in accord with a wholly new technology with a heart of high density,
closed cell PVC (not only water tight but the material itself is actually
WATERPROOF, $30,000 worth of NASA-type electronic navigation instruments, bows
made of Kevler (used to make lightweight bullet proof vests and aircraft armor),
tri-and bi-axial fabric impregnated by epoxy resin... well, you get the idea.
 Her catamaran design gives you a chance to lie between the twin bows and know
how leaping dolphins feel swimming the ocean. With two jacuzzi pools,
an open cabin with full bar, an ability to
drive right up on the beach like a landing craft, she's everything a generation
of passengers has asked for. |
