The Flying Manta – a luxury superyacht with a helideck in the port of Saint-Florent.

The 42m motor yacht can carry up to 19 passengers across its eight cabins, along with a five-person crew, and has a top speed of 24 knots.
It sails under the Marshall Islands flag but was built by NQEA Yachts in Australia in 2004.

The Flying Manta, formerly known as Ophelia, adopted its new name after a major refit in 2013, when it was extended from 36m to 42m and adopted a new colour scheme.

With its 42,000 litres of fuel, the Flying Manta has a maximum range of 4,000 nautical miles at ten knots, while its freshwater tanks store approximately 6,000 litres of fresh water.
