Italian shipyard Overmarine has launched the first unit in a new line of maxi open yachts known as the Mangusta Maxi Open 132E. In June 2023, the model was sold to a US buyer and existing client of the builder by Jean-Claude Carme of TWW Yachts.
The 39.9-metre model is an evolution of the yard's existing 132 series, with key changes including a restyled profile and a new engine package that promises improved range and reduced fuel consumption. The project was managed by TWW Management and captain Hervé Le Gand.
The GRP yacht has a custom interior by the owner's design studio Iconia with bespoke changes including a modified flybridge, a pool on the foredeck and a "state-of-the-art" sound system. Overmarine's in-house design department has helmed the yacht's signature sporty lines.
Accommodation is for 12 guests across five cabins including an owner's suite with a walk-in wardobe-cum-dressing room and his-and-her bathrooms. The remaining accommodation comprises a VIP suite, two doubles and a twin, plus an additional three cabins for a complement of six crew.
A propulsion package that includes three MTU engines and three waterjets propels the new model to 35 knots, pared back to 30 knots when cruising.
"My clients think highly of Overmarine and enjoy spending time on their Mangusta 108," said Carme. "They weren’t in the market looking to replace but to upgrade. After weighing up many options with different builders, the new Mangusta Maxi Open 132E was a perfect fit for them and their plans for Mediterranean cruising. The fact that she was already a considerable way through construction was an added bonus."
This follows the launch of the third Mangusta 165 REV last month. The 49.9-metre model is the flagship of Mangusta's Maxi Open line.
