The countdown to the Cannes Yachting Festival draws ever closer and, with it, the highly anticipated lineup of yachts making their debut has started trickling in. Mangusta Yachts, an Overmarine Group brand, is no exception to this fizz of excitement.
With its more than 600 expert employees and 10 manufacturing sites across Italy – including the recent expansion of its Pisa site – the brand is primed to create the perfect vessel for every client, designing its hulls and interiors together with the owner.
As a specialist in the 30- to 50-metre fast composite yachts segment, the yard effectively responds to clients' requests. It has conceived three lines informed by different ways of enjoying life at sea: Maxi Open REV, Mangusta Oceano and Mangusta GranSport.
The most traditional line is the Maxi Open line. With its top performances and cutting-edge technology, it boasts uncompromised comfort and has consequently become a classic Mediterranean yacht.
Meanwhile, the Mangusta Oceano, ranging between 39 and 60 metres, is a line of long-range displacement vessels and enjoys a range normally found on explorer vessels. As its name suggests, the Mangusta GranSport line is centred on the "fast displacement" naval platform and includes fast displacement yachts between 33 and 67 metres.
Luckily, for those wanting to see the yacht lines up close, Mangusta will be exhibiting two of these models during the Cannes Yachting Festival. BOAT unpacks their defining features.
Mangusta GranSport 33
The ninth unit in the Gransport 33, the entry-level of the line, will be on display during the boat show and demonstrates generous volumes, constant visual contact with the sea, spacious outdoor areas and an impressive maximum speed.
Hailing from the fast-displacement line, the 33-metre is the result of a collaboration between designer Alberto Mancini and Overmarine Group's technical departments. With cruising in comfort a key focus, the yacht boasts large volumes comparable to those found on larger yachts. Accommodation includes a 40-square-metre master stateroom with large windows on the main deck, as well as four guest cabins on the lower deck.
Further highlights arrive in the form of large entertainment and relaxation spaces for guests. There is an impressive 56-square-metre sundeck, carefully curated to include a large lounge, sunbathing area and Jacuzzi pool.
Meanwhile, the garage of this particular unit houses a tender and one jet ski. The extendible aft platform invites guests to have the closest possible contact with the sea thanks to a fully equipped beach club fitted with a ladder and a shower.
Powered by four Volvo Penta 1000 HP engines, the yacht is capable of hitting an impressive top speed of 25 knots and is coupled with four IPS POD drives to enhance efficiency and manoeuvrability.
Mangusta Oceano 39
On display as a worldwide premiere, the Mangusta Oceano 39 was developed and engineered by the yard's engineering department, Alberto Mancini and design firm Studio Verme. Again, the three-deck yacht is the entry-level of the Mangusta Oceano long-range displacement line and endows her entire category with a very strong identity.
Centring on design and technology, she epitomises the philosophy of a "seamless lifestyle" at sea, revolving around the pure pleasure of cruising. In terms of design, the all-glass gunwales on the upper deck and large floor-to-ceiling glazed surfaces found on the main and upper decks afford the yacht a minimal look, creating a flow between exterior and interior spaces.
The 39-metre's minimal superstructure and extensive use of glass are not the only highlights. Guests will be enticed by the patio villa-like aesthetic located on the upper deck, brought to fruition through the glass surfaces and side floor-to-ceiling windows, one of which can be fully opened. The aft door also opens fully to create a smooth, free-flowing continuum between exteriors and interiors.
Fitted with a pair of MTU 1700 HP long-range engines, the Mangusta Oceano 39 can reach a maximum speed of 15 knots, a cruising speed of 12 knots, and a range of 2,250 nautical miles.
