MANNA Yacht Description
S/V Manna was built by Royal Cape Catamarans in Durban, SA.
Royal Capes are known for their extra large and stable footprint. Maximizing every inch of space to ensure that you are always comfortable while on charter. Plenty of space and designed to sleep up to 8 guests in comfort.
Presented by DMA Yachting, the majestic charter yacht MANNA is a 53 ft sailing catamaran. The key elements of MANNA are her well-chosen interiors and inviting socializing areas. MANNA spends the season in Antarctica. She was delivered by the ship builder Royal Cape in 2014. A comprehensive refit was finalized in 2019. The expansive yacht layout features 4 generous cabins and comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests.
MANNA is introduced primarily as a sailing catamaran. The central space of the yacht is the main saloon, which connects to the aft deck. The aft deck is generous, with a prominent dining and seating area and that's where the guests spend most of their time. The tasteful cabins are connected by stairs to the main saloon - roomy, comfortable and pleasant. The cabins are located in the 2 massive hulls. Multiple portholes offer desirable views, while providing privacy if needed.
The sailboat features Yamaha 75 Generator 12.5KW Northern Lights 2016 engines and a generator.

Crew
Crew Information
Captain: Allen Lawson
In 2013, Manna was built by Royal Cape Catamaran in Durban, South Africa. She is a true 53' ocean going vessel customized for the Scuba Diver with water level dive entry and ladder. Once the yacht was launched and sea trails were completed, Manna sailed across the Atlantic to the Caribbean islands.
Manna’s team consists of Captain Allen and Chef Lucrecia “Lu” Lawson who are also from Texas. Allen Lawson was raised in a family that loved boating. At a very young age, he found his first love and bought a Cabin Cruiser at the age of 24. For the last decade, Allen has been sailing the seas around the world with friends and family, so you can sail in peace knowing that your Captain is up for any task at hand. Chef Lu started her journey under the guidance of a family of chefs. With a hit of Southern style to her cooking, Chef Lu will keep your palates entertained, and wondering how it is even possible that each meal gets better and better! Wow, my taste buds are getting excited just thinking about it. Together they make the Ultimate team and on the Seas it’s a combo that spares no attention to detail. With Allen’s “ Get’er Done” mentality, fun and lovable personality matched by the attentiveness and out-going personality of Lu, trust us when we say you will wish your trip never ends!
If you’re looking for a Charter Group you can trust in delivering the knowledge, skill, safety and expertise, along with the needed excitement to make your vacation special, look no further. The Team with S/V Manna is your ticket. Take a moment and read the reviews and you will find the they can customize any vacation for anybody, including your own group. Simply tell them what you want and sit back and watch the Magic happen.
Scuba Dive? Of course. Allen is a PADI Instructor with a strong passion for diving. When divers come onboard, S/V Manna offers "Unlimited" dives to all certified divers. Who does that? Forget about the need to schedule and pay the additional cost for rendezvous diving or dives onboard. It's all part of the package and Allen will dive with you as much as you would like at no extra charge. Now that’s walking the talk.
Not a diver? No worries we have plenty for you to do above the water including skiing, wake boarding, towable's, hiking and dancing among a few. Who knows maybe you would like to give diving a try through a discover scuba course or even complete a scuba certification while onboard. There is a charge for the PADI Certification but no charge for your dives. If that is of interest, visit with Allen before your Charter starts and he will be more than happy to put a plan together just for you. Some studies will need to be done online prior to arriving.
To wrap this Crew profile up, Allen has an experience level of over 20+ years sailing and learning some of the best locations throughout the Caribbean islands in order to share the Magic with you. So, wait no longer! Come aboard and let’s get this party started!
Side Note from the Crew: We strongly believe it’s every individual Choice whether or not to get the vaccination. We do not judge one’s decision, that’s your Choice. For your peace of mind along with the ease of clearing customs in different countries we travel, we the crew decided to go ahead and receive both vaccines for COVID along with the booster shot. Unlike the airlines and regardless of one’s decision, No Mask, No Shoes and No Shirt is no problem on board. Yay!

2013, Manna was built by Royal Cape Catamaran in Durban, South Africa. She is a true 53' ocean going vessel customized for the Scuba Diver with water level dive entry and ladder. Once the yacht was launched and sea trails were completed, Manna sailed across the Atlantic to the Caribbean islands. <br /> <br /> Manna’s team consists of Captain Allen and Chef Lucrecia “Lu” Lawson who are also from Texas. Allen Lawson was raised in a family that loved boating. At a very young age, he found his first love and bought a Cabin Cruiser at the age of 24. For the last decade, Allen has been sailing the seas around the world with friends and family, so you can sail in peace knowing that your Captain is up for any task at hand. Chef Lu started her journey under the guidance of a family of chefs. With a hit of Southern style to her cooking, Chef Lu will keep your palates entertained, and wondering how it is even possible that each meal gets better and better! Wow, my taste buds are getting excited just thinking about it. Together they make the Ultimate team and on the Seas it’s a combo that spares no attention to detail. With Allen’s “ Get’er Done” mentality, fun and lovable personality matched by the attentiveness and out-going personality of Lu, trust us when we say you will wish your trip never ends!<br /> <br /> If you’re looking for a Charter Group you can trust in delivering the knowledge, skill, safety and expertise, along with the needed excitement to make your vacation special, look no further. The Team with S/V Manna is your ticket. Take a moment and read the reviews and you will find the they can customize any vacation for anybody, including your own group. Simply tell them what you want and sit back and watch the Magic happen.<br /> <br /> <br /> Scuba Dive? Of course. Allen is a PADI Instructor with a strong passion for diving. When divers come onboard, S/V Manna offers "Unlimited" dives to all certified divers. Who does that? Forget about the need to schedule and pay the additional cost for rendezvous diving or dives onboard. It's all part of the package and Allen will dive with you as much as you would like at no extra charge. Now that’s walking the talk. <br /> <br /> Not a diver? No worries we have plenty for you to do above the water including skiing, wake boarding, towable's, hiking and dancing among a few. Who knows maybe you would like to give diving a try through a discover scuba course or even complete a scuba certification while onboard. There is a charge for the PADI Certification but no charge for your dives. If that is of interest, visit with Allen before your Charter starts and he will be more than happy to put a plan together just for you. Some studies will need to be done online prior to arriving. <br /> <br /> To wrap this Crew profile up, Allen has an experience level of over 20+ years sailing and learning some of the best locations throughout the Caribbean islands in order to share the Magic with you. So, wait no longer! Come aboard and let’s get this party started!<br /> <br /> <br /> Side Note from the Crew: We strongly believe it’s every individual Choice whether or not to get the vaccination. We do not judge one’s decision, that’s your Choice. For your peace of mind along with the ease of clearing customs in different countries we travel, we the crew decided to go ahead and receive both vaccines for COVID along with the booster shot. Unlike the airlines and regardless of one’s decision, No Mask, No Shoes and No Shirt is no problem on board.

I would say it was an adventure of a lifetime but really, it's now an adventure I plan to repeat and repeat. This is truly living. Soaking up each moment, fully present, immersed in all of the beauty. Captain Wayne and Lu made it all just the most enjoyable and easy experience. So full of joy for what they do in the place they call home. Thank you for sharing your passion with us we are forever grateful <br /> Mary<br /> <br /> No words can adequately describe just how magical the past week aboard Manna with Wayne and Lu was. Thank you for an amazing week. Thank you for the great food, drinks, laughs, diving and sharing your amazing stories. You're an inspiration and have given us much to think about to create an amazing lifestyle. We hope to cross paths with you again soon<br /> Andy<br /> <br /> We had an absolute blast. We didn't know what to fully expect having never done a boat trip before. It offered such a great experience, great times, snorkeling, sitting around at night and sharing stories, discover scuba, etc. Food was great and drinks were even better period definitely a trip worth repeating, but only with this crew. Wayne and Lu were the best! Thanks for a great adventure.<br /> Ronnie<br /> <br /> What an unbelievable adventure. Water has never been a sport that we have embraced. It opened a whole new world to us that we absolutely love. Thank you for your patience and allowing us to explore the underwaters in our discovery dive course. We hope to come back for more. Your hospitality is second to none. We feel like a part of your family. Lu, the food was outstanding. Your sweet personality is infectious. <br /> Mary Lou<br /> <br /> I had no idea a catamaran trip would test my physical and emotional limits but this one sure did. Discover scuba challenged me to overcome fears and I'm a better person for completing the adventure. The hospitality was genuine and easy going. We felt like family from day one period I lost track of time which is my test for a great vacation. Manna and USVI are etched in our memories for a lifetime. <br /> George<br /> <br /> I am grateful for the week aboard Manna. Of course, the food and fun will be with me forever. But what's more, is the feeling of healing and escape that I experienced through discovering the ocean and its life above and below the water. God's creation and a vast portion I've never known. With love and gratitude<br /> TimThank you! Wayne and Lu! We had the most amazing time sharing this week with you. This was truly exceptional adventure then it would not have happened without the two of you we are looking forward to our return trip in the future.

We got to experience the usvi and Puerto Rico which we had never been to at all. Captain Wayne and Lu made our trip very special because they are so very wonderful people. We enjoyed spending time with them and getting to know them. Really enjoyed the sights and learning about the area. Snorkeling was fantastic and we had a blast going to some smaller beaches and having a great time there with friends and family. Wish we had more time, but we will be back again. Thanks for all who joined us to make this great<br /> Jerry<br /> <br /> My only complaint was there no manner stationary in the cabins to write a formal thank you to you and Lu we had a fantastic experience on this beautiful boat. So glad you had this book! Your knowledge of the islands we sailed was very impressive! You made such an impression on me with the tales of your life, weather falling from the sky or sailing across the seas! You also roll some mean dice! Thank you for making us laugh with your great sense of humor. Also thank you for the great effort you put into marrying my wife and myself. It was a beautiful ceremony that I will always remember the rest of my life! My only wish is that we will cross paths again someday soon. All the best to you! <br /> Bob and Kim<br /> <br /> What can I say, it was truly an amazing trip. Second time sailing on Manna was just as incredible as the first. There is a saying we have, “would you trust your vacation to anyone else? And the answer to that is a simple one no”. The crew of Manna goes above and beyond to exceed all expectations the only disappointment is the day we have to stay, see you later we don't say goodbye, We say see you later because we will see the crew of Manna the next time we sail with them. Until that day take care of my friend!<br /> Bob and Barbara<br /> ";s:11:"yachtGC10P1";s:84:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht4520/4520guests18900-1.jpg";s:11:"yachtGC10P2";s:84:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht4520/4520guests18900-2.jpg";s:11:"yachtGC10P3";s:84:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht4520/4520guests18900-3.jpg";s:14:"yachtGC11Title";s:29:"April 2-9, 2022 1st USVI Trip";s:9:"yachtGC11";s:602:"We always wanted to try a liveaboard and Manna exceeded our expectations.

You two work so well together. I learned how to dive from one of the best divemaster I have ever met. Diving is something I will always cherish. (Night dive was the best).

You guys made a vacation with great memories I will never forget.<br /> <br /> Lucas<br /> <br /> To the king and queen of the charter world or should I start with the queen and the king. This is an experience I have been wanting for a longtime, since I was a kid on my parents’ boat. This trip has given me my youth back at least in my mind. It had a little bit of everything that I enjoy in life whether it was the diving, water skiing, snorkeling, sun, food, drink, toast, and family and friends. Emily, your menu was divine and thanks for letting me do some things on the boat that made me feel like I was a part of the crew. Wayne thank you for taking us for the ride of our life and the diving was what I had been waiting for!!<br /> <br /> Lou<br /> <br /> Thank you for my voyage! I have learned so many silly tricks that I will try to perfect. I especially enjoyed our trip around St John, and I will always remember each opportunity to snorkel. You are both so calming, knowledgeable and funny. Wishing you both the best the world can provide, until we meet again.<br /> Donna<br /> <br /> This is been one of the best vacations I’ve ever been on. You guys made this experience so amazing so thank you. If we had a different crew taking us to these places, I wouldn’t have liked it as much. I love diving. Wayne, the way you taught us made learning fun. I would say scuba diving is one of my favorite things now. Emily, your meals were wonderful and your sense of humor was great. You guys both made the past few days some of the best. I wish I could spend more time on the boat!<br /> <br /> Alex<br /> <br /> We waited two years for this trip and it was worth the wait! I felt so comfortable in your boat as if it were my own. You both made us all feel that way! The food was always perfect and delicious. The snorkeling and sightseeing off the boat were majestic. This will always be the first of hopefully many more charters for our family. Hope to be with you again! Thank you for teaching my boys the art of scuba diving! They will be lifers in the underwater world. Having this time all together at these interesting teenage years was priceless and having the boys learn from others how to make the most of every moment was a lesson that they will both cherish forever! We hope to see you again and wish the best for you.<br /> <br /> Debra<br /> <br /> Can’t thank you enough for a week we will never forget!

I become speechless and my eyes are over joyed with tears that my heart feels. Words cannot do justice to the amazing time onboard Manna. From the moment of flexibility surrounding COVID and then the hurricane. Our smiles began the moment Captain Wayne saw our luggage, followed by a welcome aboard by co-captain Emily. Your laughter and warmth made us feel at ease and at home on the seas. Your laughter was contagious. Your dive instruction led us to new adventures below, your food preparation and dining lead our pallets and bellies embracing the goodness, your catamaran made us live the dream, and your remarkable history and knowledge lead our ears to listen. Although the initial plan was to be a different celebration for my 50th God laughs when we plan. Without a doubt, my week was filled surrounded by our daughters, family, and friends. A time of healing with new beginnings. As I leave a piece of myself in the USVI I am brace a new found me at 50. Be still and know I am God Psalms 46:10. People come into our lives for unknown reasons only to stay a moment or a lifetime. I memories last a lifetime and a wise man once told me not to live and what if. So, with that said, it’s when we sail again, it’s not with a crew, it’s with our friends. Until then guardian angels, star salon and compass laid your way.<br /> <br /> ~Jeanie<br /> <br /> We had a wonderful time here in the VI even with Covid. Learning to scuba dive was the best experience and really opened up my eyes to what the ocean really looks like. The captains’ cocktails were all amazing even the one that had tequila. All the food we had on Manna was way better than onshore. Thank you for a memorable time. <br /> <br /> ~J & Adam<br /> <br /> <br /> Thank you so much for an incredible journey around the US via scuba diving is an experience I will never forget and even after seeing the shark, will do it again. Thank you for being so kind, welcoming and giving. No doubt you will change many lives for the better. See you in a few years.<br /> <br /> ~Keegan<br /> <br /> This is truly been an incredible trip for us, thanks in part maybe full part to you too. Your hospitality and warm welcome made us feel right at home. The Manna is a beautiful place to be and I loved our scuba adventures in the US VI. The captain’s cocktails and meals were outstanding. I had an amazing time. Hope to see you again. <br /> <br /> ~Danielle<br /> <br /> Yeah, I had the best time! The two of you made it feel like home all week, I’ll miss Emily’s cooking the most.

Wayne and Emily are friendly, good-humored, and lots of fun. I’d think they were pirates in a past life except that they are charitable and loved by all of the locals. The food was excellent and I ate too much every day. I especially loved scuba-diving, riding the sub-wing, and the pirate show. There was never a dull moment. I hope to make it back someday. Thanks for a fantastic trip! <br /> Crystal Weech-Crystal, MN<br /> <br /> We had a great time with Wayne and Emily on Manna! They did an excellent job of taking us around to a lot of great spots in the Virgin Islands. They were welcoming and fun hosts. We had a ton of activities to keep us constantly entertained. The food and rooms were perfect! We would definitely book another trip on Manna. <br /> Dan and Heather, Reno, NV <br /> <br /> The best trip ever! Two years ago we chartered Manna for our first ever yacht trip and loved every second of it. We loved it so much, in fact, that we booked it again this year.True to form, Wayne and Emily produced the best vacation ever. Again. We snorkeled, scuba dove, paddle boarded, sub-winged, kayaked, fished, and drank plenty of cocktails. We covered as much of the Virgin Islands as possible in a weeks time, and never once felt hurried, or anything but relaxed. Emily provided great meals everyday, and Wayne never said no to a request. From the minute we stepped on board we felt like old friends with our crew. The pirate show at Leverick Bay was again our highlight of the trip, so much fun! <br /> I would like to thank Wayne and Emily for being such gracious hosts and treating us as family.

We love exploring new areas with our guys and are blessed to have you as our guides and friends. Our entire family are taking many wonderful memories, new accomplishments ( learning to water ski, wakeboard and subwing) and seeing a new part of the world in the most unique way possible. I could never imagine spending days on private beaches (the most beautiful blues and clearest water I have ever seen) while exploring so many islands. I will cherish stargazing, learning new games, your hospitality and yummy meals. Thank you for a spectacular adventure. Best wishes with Manna for Missionaries!<br /> Elaine and GT<br /> I liked playing with George and subwinging. I liked everything we did.<br /> Harrison 9 yrs<br /> <br /> I loved the water sports and tubing. I also loved George, snorkeling and subwinging.<br /> <br /> Truman 12 yrs<br /> <br /> <br /> I loved diving the Kodiak Queen and the Chimney. Water skiing was fun , too!<br /> <br /> Grant 16 yrs <br /> <br /> I loved diving the Wreck of the Rhone and the Kodiak Queen. It was fun tubing and waterskiing.<br /> <br /> Carter 14 yrs<br /> <br /> <br /> After Charter Follow up review-<br /> <br /> How did you enjoy your cruising vacation? <br /> Best vacation we’ve ever taken as a family<br /> <br /> How would you describe your Captain and crew? Were they Courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable?<br /> Wayne and Emily were awesome. Very patient with the kids, knowledgeable about the area, fun tour guides and very welcoming hosts. George the dog was fun to have on board as well!<br /> <br /> Tell me about your meals? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your Chef and Crew pay close attention to your Preference Sheets?<br /> Great meals. With picky eaters we can be a challenge but Emily knew that some of us didn’t eat seafood while others love it. She always had options for us. I think most people want more gourmet meals but with kids, she adapted nicely and had some homestyle dinners that the kids loved (spaghetti, pot roast, etc.)<br /> <br /> How is the yacht? Is she clean and well-maintained? Were your cabins comfortable? Was the cockpit comfortable? Was there enough shade?<br /> I was worried that our family of 6 would get sick of spending so much time in close quarters but there was plenty of space for each of us. Outdoors at the front and back, the indoor sitting area and our cabins gave us plenty of space for alone time or hanging out with eachother. Very clean boat, Emily did a great job keeping it that way. <br /> <br /> What did you like most about the yacht? What did you like the least?<br /> With 4 kids, I was concerned that they’d each have plenty to do. Lots of toys on the boat. The dinghy was strong enough to pull water skis, wake boards and tubes so the kids were never lacking. Wayne was always willing to take it out and entertain the guys.<br /> <br /> Wayne was a great divemaster as well. We went on 8 dives over the 11 days of our trip. He knew of some great spots that weren’t crowded where the non divers could snorkel above us so they didn’t feel left out. <br /> <br /> How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation?<br /> I’m glad we did 10 days. 7 would have felt rushed. We fished for 1 day (we shouldn’t have spent money on fishing licenses). <br /> ";s:11:"yachtGC82P1";s:83:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht4520/4520guests8363-1.jpg";s:11:"yachtGC82P2";s:83:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht4520/4520guests8363-2.jpg";s:11:"yachtGC82P3";s:83:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht4520/4520guests8363-3.jpg";s:14:"yachtGC83Title";s:35:"July 1-8, 2017 Birthday Celebration";s:9:"yachtGC83";s:795:"I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday trip and you two made it even more special.

Two teenagers on the boat for the first time, Was I crazy? But no, between Emily’s amazing cooking and Wayne’s never-ending energy it truly was an amazing vacation. The dives were incredible. The girls loved the Subwings. First time waterskiing, up on the first try, incredible! Hiking, paddle boarding with George our constant companion. And just when we thought we would drop dead from activities, late night card games with Wayne and Emily. We will always remember the laughs and stories and especially Wayne’s toasts. Thank you Wayne and Emily for an incredible vacation we will never forget. Emily, you should write your own cookbook. Hope to be back for the Spanish islands. Going to miss those morning sunrises. Amazing memories but even better? New friends.<br /> Karen<br /> <br /> Didn’t think the islands could get better than our first few trips but thanks to Wayne, Emily and George we were definitely shown otherwise.

Having previously chartered in the BVI many times, we found it fun to explore new locations in the Spanish and USVI. Each day was a new adventure with Captain Wayne giving us several options to choose from to ensure that each of us got to hit our bucket lists for the trip.

She is a true 53' ocean going vessel customized for the Scuba Diver with water level dive entry and ladder. Once the yacht was launched and sea trails were completed, Manna sailed across the Atlantic to the Caribbean islands. <br /> <br /> Manna’s team consists of Captain Allen and Chef Lucrecia “Lu” Lawson who are also from Texas. Allen Lawson was raised in a family that loved boating. At a very young age, he found his first love and bought a Cabin Cruiser at the age of 24. For the last decade, Allen has been sailing the seas around the world with friends and family, so you can sail in peace knowing that your Captain is up for any task at hand. Chef Lu started her journey under the guidance of a family of chefs. With a hit of Southern style to her cooking, Chef Lu will keep your palates entertained, and wondering how it is even possible that each meal gets better and better! Wow, my taste buds are getting excited just thinking about it. Together they make the Ultimate team and on the Seas it’s a combo that spares no attention to detail. With Allen’s “ Get’er Done” mentality, fun and lovable personality matched by the attentiveness and out-going personality of Lu, trust us when we say you will wish your trip never ends!<br /> <br /> If you’re looking for a Charter Group you can trust in delivering the knowledge, skill, safety and expertise, along with the needed excitement to make your vacation special, look no further. The Team with S/V Manna is your ticket. Take a moment and read the reviews and you will find the they can customize any vacation for anybody, including your own group. Simply tell them what you want and sit back and watch the Magic happen.<br /> <br /> <br /> Scuba Dive? Of course. Allen is a PADI Instructor with a strong passion for diving. When divers come onboard, S/V Manna offers "Unlimited" dives to all certified divers. Who does that? Forget about the need to schedule and pay the additional cost for rendezvous diving or dives onboard. It's all part of the package and Allen will dive with you as much as you would like at no extra charge. Now that’s walking the talk. <br /> <br /> Not a diver? No worries we have plenty for you to do above the water including skiing, wake boarding, towable's, hiking and dancing among a few. Who knows maybe you would like to give diving a try through a discover scuba course or even complete a scuba certification while onboard. There is a charge for the PADI Certification but no charge for your dives. If that is of interest, visit with Allen before your Charter starts and he will be more than happy to put a plan together just for you. Some studies will need to be done online prior to arriving. <br /> <br /> To wrap this Crew profile up, Allen has an experience level of over 20+ years sailing and learning some of the best locations throughout the Caribbean islands in order to share the Magic with you. So, wait no longer! Come aboard and let’s get this party started!<br /> <br /> <br /> Side Note from the Crew: We strongly believe it’s every individual Choice whether or not to get the vaccination. We do not judge one’s decision, that’s your Choice. For your peace of mind along with the ease of clearing customs in different countries we travel, we the crew decided to go ahead and receive both vaccines for COVID along with the booster shot. Unlike the airlines and regardless of one’s decision, No Mask, No Shoes and No Shirt is no problem on board. Yay!<br /> <br /> <br /> Crew are fully vaccinated for COVID 19<br /> </p></div> </div> </div> </div>
