  • yacht tours

Filming a Mangusta yacht was on Nick’s wishlist for a long time before he got on board this impeccable Mangusta 92…

Mangusta Yachts make a big impression whenever they enter a Mediterranean marina, and this 2005 Mangusta 92 is a great example of the Italian yard’s iconic style.

Built in Viareggio by Overmarine, the Mangusta range is all about speed, grandeur and acres of deck space.

In this video, filmed at the 2020 Miami Boat Show, Nick Burnham takes us on board Kampai , which was offered for sale at $1,900,000 and has since been sold.

The layout sees the standard sportscruiser template supersized, with an enormous cockpit and an enclosed saloon, which can be opened up to the elements when you want via a vast sunroof.

72 Mangusta Yacht Walkthrough [Boat Review + Video]

Take an extensive tour of the 72′ mangusta in panama city, panama with juno prodhomm ..

This article is a transcription of the 72′ Mangusta video from Denison’s Youtube Channel . Tune in daily to discover the latest yacht video walkthroughs from the world’s largest yacht video collection. Watch the full video below:

Hi, I’m Juno Prodhomm with Denison Yachting and today I’m going to take you on one of my newest listings. I know sometimes when you guys see me in Panama City, Panama, I’m on a sport fish, I’m fishing around, cruising the islands. But today I have something different. My client really wanted a yacht that exudes sex appeal, speed and he wanted to have the outside inside.

Today, we’re on a big express, a 2004 Mangusta 72 hardtop, called Querencia . What makes this yacht special to any Mangusta 72 on the market, in 2015 her Arneson MAN 1550s were completely replaced. So you have 2015 engines with 500 hours with a top speed of 40 knots. All of her exterior upholstery was completely replaced. We’re going to go over more of her key features in this walkthrough, so let’s go get on board.

mangusta yachts video

Here, we are on the teak swim platform. This is going to be your advantage point of getting in and out of the water. At the swim platform, you also have a ladder that goes in and out of the water. Here, it’s going to be your tender garage which stores a Williams jet tender. In the garage as well, she’s flushed away is your passerelle. So you can utilize your passerelle at any given time, when need be. Let’s make our way up to the cockpit.

What’s nice with these euro transom, you can access the cockpit either port or starboard. On the port side of the teak, you’re going to have your access hatch to the garage. Right here you’re going to have your safety railings and this door completely closes out all the way. So it’s nice and safe, nothing rolls out. What I really like that the owner added on because I’m a fisherman, I like to fish, are these rocket launchers. So if you want to put some rods on or cruising maybe 5-7 knots, who knows we might hook up to a mahi. On those hot summer days just depending on where you are, if you’re going to be in the Caribbean, if you’re in Panama, if you’re in South Florida, this Bimini top is a great, great extra shade of protection. Sometimes on most Mangusta, this usually isn’t on there. So this is a huge bonus. Now this aft sunbed is humongous. You can easily have four to six people here, hang out have some cocktails, just enjoy yourself, get that scenic view. And when you’re underway, doing 30 knots, you’re going to get that huge rooster tail behind you. On both port and starboard, you’re going to have your foot pedals for your winches. So you have easy access, just flip it over. That’s it.

mangusta yachts video

Moving forward is going to be your access hatch to your engine room. You just climb down the ladder, it’s going to get you down into your engine room. Having the isinglass enclosure behind me, makes it a huge advantage for this boat. When it’s hot, when it’s rainy, you can just put it down and keep everything nice and covered. A huge bonus especially in this covered cockpit area is that we have AC. So you’re not going to be hot, you can just relax, talk with friends and family and just hang out and enjoy yourselves.

This is going to be the area where everything happens. If you’re an entertainer just like this current owner, this was huge for him. This area you can easily have eight to ten guests. Having these two L-shaped seating areas is a huge bonus. Here in this area, you’re going to have two separate teak tables. Now if you want to turn this into more of a dining occasion or maybe you want to have a celebration, you have an insert that goes on top of the tables and completely opens up, so now you have more of a dinner setting. That’s a nice advantage to have on both either port or starboard.

mangusta yachts video

Continuing our way forward, you’re going to find a wine cooler and your entertainment station. Behind that area that you may not notice is going to be your flat-screen TV. Forward to port, it’s going to be your sink with prep station. Across from there, you’re going to have a refrigerator for your cold drinks and an ice maker.

Continuing forward, we’re going to make our way to the helm station. Here at the helm, you’re going to find 6 AC vents keeping you nice and cool on those hot days, 3 Garmin 7612s, your Garmin VHF, Garmin autopilot, your Boeing MAN engine displays, your side power bow thruster, your Lofrans windlass, your wiper controls, an upgrade that was added was this 24 inch Garmin display.

mangusta yachts video

Walking up to the bow you have a huge foredeck, a nice lounging area that can easily have four to six people here because of this huge sun pad as well as your crew access to your crew area that’s going to sleep two. You have side-by-side berths as well as your head and shower.

mangusta yachts video

After spinning all day outside in the cockpit, maybe you’re in the water jumping around, listening to music, this area in the salon is just going to be somewhere where you gather, relax, turn on a movie, have a snack, or even have dinner. What’s nice about this area, this sofa I’m sitting on was completely replaced about three months ago. Last year we completely redid the carpet in the salon to give it a nice feel. So most everything you’re going to see down here for age is very modern.

Here in the salon, you’re greeted by the nice white oak cabinetry, you have a U-shaped salon area to your port that can easily sit up to six guests. You have side-by-side teak tables what’s nice about this table, you can use it for cocktails but another upgraded feature is there’s an insert that goes on top to make it a full complete dining table.

mangusta yachts video

Moving aft of the nook is your galley. You’re going to find a 4- burner Miele cooktop, Miele convection oven, an abundance of cabinet storage, a melee dishwasher, an isotherm fridge, and freezer as well as your stainless steel sink basin.

Leaving the galley we’re going to make our way forward to the master stateroom. Here in the master, you’re going to have your island berth, to starboard, a bench seat, two locker closets, two reading lights, surround sound, and a flat-screen TV. Moving aft is going to be your head. One thing to note you have a separate head and shower. So it’s almost his and hers. The granite countertops are completely brand new and this is another great feature that the owner added on.

mangusta yachts video

Let’s make our way out to the other staterooms but before we go there in the companionway, you’re going to have a Miele washer and dryer and storage for your glassware. On your port guest stateroom, you’ll have side by side berth, a Pullman berth, flat-screen TV, reading light, a locker closet, and your ensuite head. Here on your starboard side guest stateroom, you have your full island berth, flat-screen TV with Apple TV, reading light, an abundance of cabinet storage, a locker closet, and your ensuite head.

Mangusta-gransport-45-superyacht

Mangusta GranSport 45: Inside Overmarine's 45 Metre Superyacht

The newest addition to Mangusta’s GranSport line, the 45 is an innovative combination of luxury, space, performance and efficiency, as Sam Fortescue discovers.

Mangusta means “mongoose” in Italian. Cute, but not the most obvious name for a line of luxury yachts. You have to know the backstory. When Giuseppe Balducci established his company in 1985, the chief competition was from a brand called Cobra, by Tecnomarine. It has since faded from view, but Balducci’s choice of name was prescient: the “mangusta” is the only animal capable of slaying the feared serpent.

Back then, Balducci’s genius was to spot the market for a super-fast open boat – the sort of thing that would throw a rooster tail across the sun and keep your hair swept back for days. This is still very much in Mangusta’s DNA, but the brand is edging further and further into the domain of luxury, thanks to last year’s launch of the fast displacement GranSport line. “The idea was to combine speed, long range and comfort,” says commercial director Francesco Frediani. “While she looks sporty, she can cross the Atlantic Ocean and explore uncluttered anchorages.”

That’s no mere boast. The first boat out of the shipyard in Pisa was the 54, and hull No 1 has racked up 20,000 miles crossing the Atlantic, transiting the Panama Canal then turning north to the Arctic Circle. “Anywhere her owner’s dreams led her,” Frediani says. The yard recently sold a second 54, is planning a larger 65, and launched its smaller sister at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the rather beguiling 45. This boat, he says, shares all the features of the 54 and, “fully holds the right to be considered a flagship – if not for her length then for values and features.”

Exterior designer Alberto Mancini is spot on with his interpretation of Mangusta’s sleek, muscular lines. The low black curve of the bridge deck roof barely seems to rise above the bulwarks – it is a picture of aerodynamic design, which Mancini likens to an Aston Martin. And not without justification, because this boat has a top speed of 26 knots, despite her extensive accommodation.

“The GranSport line is clearly inspired by automotive design,” Mancini tells me. “When I drew the GS lines I had in mind a concept of fluid, harmonic and sleek proportions. The superstructure design reminds me of an exotic sports car, but the transparency and the light you get inside the upper deck saloon is impressive, compared to many other yachts that have an aggressive and sporty look but small windows that transmit an idea of claustrophobia, like in a supercar.”

At 440 gross tonnes, there’s plenty of volume to this yacht, so Mangusta hasn’t achieved that speed by paring everything back. The performance is a combination of smart hull design, creating a semi-displacement aluminium hull that allows a range of 3,500 nautical miles at 11 knots, yet is safe and exhilarating with the throttle down. “It’s a bulb-keel hull that cuts through the sea surface without planing. But maintaining the displacement mode even at high speed requires dynamic lift to control the longitudinal trim,” explains naval architect Pierluigi Ausonio , who designed it in collaboration with the technical department at Mangusta. It comes with plenty of power. Some 7,800hp of it, in fact, courtesy of three MTU 2000 M96L units.

This brings us to one of this yacht’s distinguishing features. While two of her engines drive standard prop shafts, the third, on the centreline, powers an innovative Kamewa water-jet pod, which can be used for fine manoeuvring or stealthy cruising. Yet this was something of an afterthought, according to Frediani. “You don’t have real balance with three propellers – the boat always goes in one direction. Initially, the water-jet was just meant to be a booster, then we thought we could make more of it.”

Splitting the power across three engines makes for smaller propellers and thus lower draught; at 2.2 metres it allows this boat to creep into the shallows of the Bahamas, for instance. But as skipper Manuel Battaglia tells me later, the real advantage of the system is its quietness. “During the night, you can choose to navigate at eight knots with the water-jet in complete silence,” he says. It makes for super efficiency and a good night’s sleep during shorter hops when speed is not of the essence. “Manoeuvrability is so good because the jet is right at the back where there are no skegs to get in the way.”

It says much about changing attitudes in yachting that a brand renowned for speed and aggressive, sporty styling is now embracing efficiency. And in another sign of the times, the GranSport 45 interprets luxury as offering simple, uncluttered spaces aboard. One of the first things that strikes you when you see the boat is her acres of teak.

Below the passerelle, a 75-square-metre beach club cantilevers off the transom and extends well inside the boat, down a couple of steps into an area that has the wood-lined feeling of a spa. There’s a transformer platform and two fold-down side terraces; little wings that cleverly connect with the main exterior beach club to create a walk-around space that is deep enough for a sun lounger or a couple of chairs. With the terraces down, natural light and a cool breeze freshen the interior. Importantly, the tender garage is in the bow, so this space never develops the smells, marks or damage associated with storing a wet boat.

Up on the aft deck, the sense of space grows. Here a 75-square-metre expanse of teak is scattered with off-the-shelf designer sofas, chairs and a table. “The furniture is from Italian brands such as Poltrona Frau, Minotti or Flexform, but you won’t find these colours in any catalogue,” says Mangusta’s Isabella Picco. “The owner’s wife wanted specific tones of green-grey and dove grey. She also asked for opaque black–painted steel for all metal finishing instead of chrome steel.”

The effect is understated and elegant, but really what hits you is the room. Move the loose furniture out of the way and you have a venue for a big party. The story is repeated on the upper deck terrace, which features a wet bar, grill and circular dining table. Combine that with the spa pool and infinity pool forward and you have an astonishingly large area for outside living. “If you want to turn it into a party deck, why not?” Frediani says. “We have already designed a table that lowers into the floor so you can dance.”

Each of these different spaces can be fitted with Multiplex carbon bimini poles and, on this yacht, a matching grey awning that can be extended over the pool. There is talk of rigging up a screen here to turn the sunpad and spa pool area into an outdoor cinema. And from the garage hidden under the pool, it is possible to launch the five-metre Williams Dieseljet in three minutes without creating so much as a ripple above. The 45 does everything it can to encourage you outdoors.

Just in case the weather turns during your expedition, there is plenty of interior space too. On this first hull, the main saloon has been turned over entirely to sofas and armchairs, with dining in the upper saloon on nearly five square metres of Kenya black marble. The sense of great volume comes not just from the 2.2-metre headroom, but its combination with floor-to-ceiling windows and mirrors.

To starboard, the window slides aside to create tantalising sight lines of the water, as well as providing natural ventilation. Other than the armchairs and sofas, there’s little clutter in here – no fussy cabinetry and no boxed-out technical areas. It feels very calming. “The study of natural and artificial light was an essential part in construction,” Frediani explains. “By using glass, both transparent and mirrored, to bounce light around the interior and reduce visual barriers to the outside world, Mangusta has succeeded in providing total immersion in the marine environment.” It’s what he sums up as the “fil rouge” that runs throughout the boat – connected spaces with no visual barriers.

But my favourite feature lies further forward, in the full-beam owner’s cabin. Here to starboard, a button sets a whole two-metre-wide section of the wall in motion to create a fold-down balcony. It’s the perfect breakfasting spot as you contemplate the anchorage and it showcases an impressive conjunction of interior design and engineering. As the balcony locks into its horizontal position, a gleaming stainless-steel handrail rises smoothly as if by magic. Cleverly articulated banisters extend up and click into place. When the balcony is closed, this is embedded flush in the balcony wall panel and looks like a piece of interior decor.

The owner’s suite also harbours another impressive feature. Its open-plan bathroom runs the full beam of the forward bulkhead, under the pool, and Mangusta has made the most of this by fitting skylights in the pool bottom. They shed a dappled blue light over the striations of the grey Nuova Lim marble below. It means you can lie in the double bath and enjoy the sun – almost like scuba but without the bulky equipment.

Four double guest cabins on the lower deck are arranged in a cluster at the end of a staircase whose steps appear to float on a cushion of indirect light. Although the volumes are predetermined by the layout, the configuration is flexible. This owner has put two double bunks in the children’s cabin, which is decorated with an original frieze of teddies. The facing cabin has been turned into a kids’ television room or playroom, with a sofa bed for a nanny. In the two VIP cabins, the design is simple. “There are always some small changes to the Minotti headboards and the lamps,” says Picco. The en suites are generous, and continue the grey marble theme with flamed ash cabinetry.

Nowhere is the sporty character of this boat clearer than in the spaceship-like wheelhouse, with double-stitched black leather seating, backlit red stripes and carbon fibre windscreen mullions. “It appeals to a range of owners who want to stand out from the mass of yachts that all look the same,” Mancini says. Some 35 years after Mangusta was established, its new GranSport 45 shows just the same speed and agility as its namesake, the mongoose. Or, as Frediani puts it: “A flawless combination that can be summarised as ‘pure versatility’.”

An artist’s touch

“It’s not easy at all to design for Mangusta, Azimut and Fairline,” says Alberto Mancini. “It’s like having three jealous wives! You can’t imagine the energies I spend to avoid any design contamination. I have a strong and creative team and we brainstorm each brand differently. Design research is a must, and it takes a lot of time when you work for several brands. When I approach any design task, I work always by hand. I usually produce thousands of hand sketches looking for the best balance of proportions. I like to work at night-time, when all I can hear is the graphite sketching on the blank sheets of paper – that’s pure adrenaline. Then of course after the first step that I identify as ‘the romantic stage’, it’s time to jump into the 3D [process] and push as much as possible what was just a sketch into an electronic file. I always do my best to prevent the computer from ruining my style. Technology advances and improves more and more, but without a sketch, a symbol of our ideas, nothing could be done.”

Mangusta Oceano 44 Reviewed

  • By Phil Draper
  • May 12, 2023

Mangusta Oceano 44

Roald Dahl’s character Willy Wonka had a great glass elevator that transported him wherever he wanted to go. Hull No. 1 of Overmarine’s Mangusta Oceano 44 reminded me of that story. This yacht is elevated by glass, and it has the potential to take owners just about anywhere.

This 146-foot, 461-gross-ton steel-and-aluminum design, perhaps more so than any other yacht I have seen recently, takes the tri-deck concept to new heights. Based on a hull platform from Pierluigi Ausonio and with design by Alberto Mancini, this superyacht has a particularly strong, modern profile and a light, bright, contemporary interior. Mancini is skilled at blending inside and outside spaces, in this case with sole-to-ceiling windows, sliding doors, and ghost bulwarks and balustrades.

Powered with twin 1,700 hp MTU 12V 2000 M86 diesels, the Oceano 44 reportedly reaches a top speed of 15 to 16 knots, depending on load. That said, an efficient 11 to 12 knots will be more than enough for typical cruising. At that speed, and with a fuel capacity of almost 19,000 gallons, this yacht is capable of more than 4,000 nautical miles. In theory, that’s enough for at least a trans-Atlantic crossing.

Mangusta Oceano 44 interior

Whether it’s a long passage or a long weekend, the owner can spend overnights in the main-deck master stateroom. It occupies the full 28-foot-6-inch beam and has full-beam en suite facilities forward that include a bathtub and a shower stall, a vanity desk to port, a dressing area with flanking closets and a fold-down balcony.

Guests aboard Hull No. 1 can stay in what could easily be called a second owners’ stateroom aft on the deck above the master—an optional layout that replaces the standard sky lounge. In the stateroom configuration, this space includes a walk-through dressing area with flanking closets and mirrors, a portside en suite head, a vanity desk and a free-standing seat to starboard. The views from this space are spectacular, given full-height glazing on three sides that, to some degree, will slide open. Glass upper bulwarks on either side also help make the vistas impressive.

Mangusta Oceano 44

The remaining four en suite guest staterooms are on the lower deck. Two have double berths, and two have twins as well as Pullmans.

There is walkaround room outside the upper deck. Inside, a captain’s cabin and ship’s office are abaft the wheelhouse, which also has wide-open views through full-height wraparound vertical windows. The bridge has doors to the port and starboard side decks and wing stations. Up front are double-bunk crew cabins, the crew mess and the yacht’s laundry.

For guests to relax seaside, there is a beach club aft with a teak-clad lower-deck lounge that occupies the full beam abaft the engine room. On the first Oceano 44, this space includes a bar, wraparound Minotti sofas and a day head. Underway, all that is seen around the waterline aft is a narrow swim platform, but at anchor, the stern can be transformed with fold-down surfaces. Part of the transom becomes a swim deck, and “beach lounges” open to the sides, effectively creating a walkaround stern. Tenders and toys are kept in a garage beneath the foredeck with a portside hinge-up door and gantry crane.

Mangusta Oceano 44

Additional guest relaxation areas include the cockpit, which has stand-alone furniture and great views, thanks to an absence of opaque bulwarks and transom structure. Glass panes inset into the aft-deck sole serve as skylights to the beach club below. A foredeck pool has sun pads and chaise longues, creating what the shipyard calls an “island spa.” The pool has glass walls and glazed panels in its base that serve as skylights for the master stateroom en suite below.

Up top, half of the 1,100-square-foot sun deck has hardtop protection. Free-standing furniture from Paola Lenti with upholstery from Mariaflora is here, along with a wet bar and stools. Staircases head down to the upper-deck guest lobby and pantry, aiding circulation for guests and crew. A few discreet doors also let crew move around with minimal impact on guests.

Mangusta Oceano 44 stateroom

When guests want the sanctuary of ceilings and air conditioning, there’s a conventional main salon. Hull No. 1’s is open plan, with Poltrona Frau sofas and armchairs, and an amidships dining room flanked by full-height sliding-glass doors.

Overmarine Group has considerable experience building semicustom yachts. It has been turning out Mangustas for 40 years, with more than 120 bigger than 100 feet length overall. The Mangusta Oceano 44 continues this tradition of excellence.

Mangusta Oceano 44

Where It’s Made

Northwest Italy-based Overmarine has many production areas in and around Viareggio, Massa and Pisa. Mangusta Oceano 44s are built in Pisa, close to the city’s airport and backed up to a canal that connects to Livorno and the sea. 

In the Works

Owned by the Balducci family, Overmarine has around 20 yachts in progress with an average length of 130 feet across three ranges: full-displacement or fast-displacement  composite and steel aluminum builds, semi-displacement aluminum Gransports, and composite planing Maxi Opens.

The Mangusta Oceano 44 replaces the Oceano 42/43, six of which delivered between 2016 and 2021. Thus far, five of the new model have been sold. One was delivered as Sagas, and four are under construction. The second hull should be delivered this spring, with the next available slot allowing a 2025 handover.

The first three composite Mangusta Oceano 39s are also sold and under construction. The first is due to launch this spring. Two Oceano 50s have been delivered, and another three are in build.

Five Gransport 33s have been delivered, and four are in build. The next available slot is for delivery in 2025.

Dozens of students with Connecticut rowing club rescued after boats capsize

The owner of a $3.4 million Lamborghini yacht screamed 'I will kill you' and threw $100 bills into the water when told he couldn't use a private dock

  • The owner of a Lamborghini yacht threatened a private dock employee, per CBS8.
  • The employee said Ajay Thakore mooned and threw cash at him after being told he couldn't use the dock.
  • Thakore, the CEO of Doctor Multimedia, issued an apology through his public relations team.

Insider Today

The owner of a $3.4 million Lamborghini yacht threatened a private dock employee after being told he couldn't be there, the San Diego-based broadcaster CBS8 reported on March 11.

Joseph Holt, a 21-year-old employee at Marriot Marina in San Diego, told CBS8 that he spotted the yacht sailing into the private dock. The owner, whom CBS8 identified as Ajay Thakore, tried to pick another person up at the dock, Holt said.

"I told him respectfully that he couldn't be there, and I honestly was hoping to have a conversation with him about his cool boat," Holt told CBS8.

In a YouTube video posted by @SM-wc9eq on March 10, a dark blue Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 is seen sailing out of a dock. A man in a gray T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and a cap was shown standing on the yacht. The man appeared to be Thakore, per CBS8.

Thakore was shown shouting at Holt. "I will kill you, you know I will kill you!" he can be heard saying multiple times in the video

Thakore was later shown pounding his fist on his palm and pointing his thumb down before telling Holt: "To your face!" Holt was shown responding by pointing his middle finger at Thakore.

"I really was trying to restrain myself from getting fired from my job or stepping out of line. The only thing I did was give him the bird," Holt told CBS8.

Holt said Thakore then took $100 bills from his wallet and threw them at him. He added that Thakore mooned him. This exchange was not shown in the video.

"He was saying I'm nobody, I'm nothing, I work a silly job. He said that he knows people, he has connections, he can change my life and ruin it," Holt said. Holt did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

The San Diego Harbor Police arrived at the marina 10 minutes after Thakore's yacht exited the dock, per CBS8.

The Harbor Police told Business Insider that Holt decided to press charges against Thakore and that they are investigating the incident.

According to Thakore's LinkedIn page , he's the CEO of Doctor Multimedia. The company's website shows that it's a healthcare marketing firm based in San Diego. Thakore appears to go by the name Ace Rogers on Instagram and TikTok, where he's noted as being a professional gambler.

Thakore, through his public relations team, told CBS8 in a statement that his altercation with Holt was "regrettable."

"What started as a minor misunderstanding escalated into an argument, and I apologize for my actions and to those who witnessed the unfortunate exchange," the statement said. Thakore did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BI.

Thakore isn't the only CEO who's been called out for threatening another person. In November 2021, an Activision spokesperson told BI that its ex-CEO Bobby Kotick had previously apologized for telling his assistant he would have her killed. The spokesperson added that Kotick's threat was "obviously hyperbolic and inappropriate" and that "he deeply regrets the exaggeration and tone."

In June 2020, Lisa Alexander, the CEO of LaFace Skincare, a cosmetics company, apologized in a statement to the media after she had threatened to call the police on her neighbor for writing "Black Lives Matter" on his property. Alexander said in the apology that she was "disrespectful" and "should have minded my own business."
