What better way to get into the holiday spirit than to treat yourself to a megayacht? That seems to be the thinking of at least one European. He’s the latest customer to commission a Mangusta 110. Specifically, she’s hull number four of this Mangusta maxi open series.
The sale makes for a very merry (or should we say very maxi) Christmas for Overmarine Group, too. The builder says this sale marks five megayachts inked this year. In addition, though this Mangusta 110 sees delivery in 2019, the Italian yard has five yachts set for delivery by next summer.
In keeping with tradition, the Mangusta 110 is a speedy craft. She should see a maximum speed upwards of 33 knots under 2,600-hp MTU power, coupled with waterjets. Given the 5’6” (1.7-meter) draft, she should also access a good number of shallow areas if the owner so desires. Another welcome performance feature: station-keeping. Akin to Dynamic Positioning, the megayacht can stay in one specific spot without use of her anchor. It also means she can stay in place without wind or current moving her off. For comfort underway gyroscopic stabilizers get activated.
Of course, another hallmark of Mangusta megayachts is the open nature of the alfresco areas as well as the interior areas. The foredeck is certainly a group-friendly playground, given a significant-size sunpad and U-shape settee, with tables. Another good-size sunpad sits aft on the main deck, while the flying bridge welcomes sun worshippers, diners, and loungers. On a related note, the Mangusta 110 is among the few open maxi megayachts with a flying bridge.
In terms of the interior, the owner is keeping some details private. However, in an unusual move, he’s tapped Piet Boon for the decor. The Dutch studio has designed a few megayachts over the years, though this is the first time collaborating with Overmarine Group. The shipyard’s own furnishings division is making several of the custom-commissioned pieces, too.
