Some people may consider the Mangusta 110 an evolution of the Mangusta 108. Overmarine Group, Mangusta’s parent company, has delivered at least 30 yachts in the 108 series, after all. However, the Mangusta 110 is really an evolution of the 94, the first model built with a flying bridge. The Mangusta 110 picks up where she left off, with a different superstructure and extra creature comforts.
The Mangusta 94 was essentially the same as the Mangusta 92, just with a flybridge. By comparison, the Mangusta 110 was started from scratch. Her hull is the same proven design as her smaller sister, of course. But the megayacht’s superstructure was created from day one to incorporate the bridge. It makes a difference. Aboard the 94, the bridge is cozy, but perhaps too cozy for some. Aboard the Mangusta 110, the flybridge looks and feels big. Hull number one has a helm, which is optional. The backrest for its benchseat is a roll bar that can flip to support guests on the adjacent sunpads. Dining is a pleasure up here, made easier by a nearby grill and sink.
The Mangusta 110 superstructure was also redesigned to accommodate this foredeck cockpit.The seating could have just been carved from the expanse of foredeck found on opens. But, planning it from the start just made more sense. Buyers and guests still get a huge sunpad to enjoy forward of here. And crew still have room to handle lines without anyone getting underfoot.
Overmarine Group preserved the flowing nature of the main-deck spaces for the Mangusta 110. Interior accoutrements are also still open to owner choice. That’s why hull number one of the Mangusta 110 has the backlit stone wall you see to starboard. A bar lies just forward of it, a popular request of many Mangusta clients. And the saloon remains open to the triple-seat helm, another favored setup.
Because of the flybridge, the Mangusta 110 does not have the sliding roof that other Mangustas do. But the large skylights make up for it in a few ways. They’re large enough to bring in plenty of light. They can turn opaque if the sun is directly overhead. And in combination with more than 10 feet of headroom and large side ports, they enhance the 23’6” (7.18-meter) beam.
The full-beam owner’s stateroom gets large side ports, too. They’re the signature hull windows that will be characterizing all Mangustas from now on. The en suite head and walk-in wardrobe are separately accessible behind the bed. For your guests, you can have three staterooms, like the first Mangusta 110 does, or just two plus an office or a gym.
The only crew space on the megayacht’s main deck is the helm. Therefore, the galley is adjacent to the crew mess below. It can also be enclosed, with a door that thankfully has a window, like the one you see just above the mess benchseat. Some American buyers may be puzzled by this. However, some European and Middle Eastern buyers want sounds and smells contained.
What won’t be contained is buyers’ and guests’ enjoyment of the aft-deck hot tub. Suffice it to say it’s big enough to host a party. When not in use, it gets topped by a set of sunpads, the third such space aboard the Mangusta 110 with them.
Capable of a reported 33 knots at half load, the Mangusta 110 preserves the speed open buyers crave. The megayacht also incorporates some smart changes to give them more of what they want. A main attraction of an open is the alfresco space, after all. Adding the flybridge, without simply tacking it on, maximizes fresh-air enjoyment. And reconfiguring other on-deck spaces without negatively impacting interior room also should attract buyers to this maxi.
