The megayacht with the code name Project Panarea lowered into the water in Viareggio, Italy, on August 8, with her owner and his family on hand for a formal celebration. She’s the Mangusta GranSport 33 hull 5, the latest in a series that seems to have caught on quite quickly.
Indeed, the series premiered in 2019 with Perfect Lady, for American buyers. For further perspective, Mangusta says that the next available hull is hull number 9, with delivery in 2024.
The 108-footer (33-meter) is the entry-level model in the overall Mangusta GranSport fast-displacement line. The family of models therefore prioritizes good fuel economy, yet still offers buyers good speeds to enjoy island hopping. In keeping with her predecessors, the Mangusta GranSport 33 hull 5 has quadruple 1,000-hp Volvo Penta engines with IPS drives. They permit a reported 25-knot maximum speed and a cruising speed around 21 knots. The Volvo Penta IPS system additionally consumes about one-third less fuel than comparable traditional diesel engines. It transfers less vibration and results in less potentially disturbing noise inside the yacht, too.
Mangusta isn’t revealing much about the inside of this yacht. However, it does say that she has four guest staterooms below decks and a main-deck master suite. This is the originally suggested general arrangement, and the same one that so far all of the deliveries in the line have used. One of the nicest benefits is that the master suite spans 132 square feet (40 square meters) and has a light, bright ambience thanks to large windows. Future customers might choose to do things a little differently, of course, like have a guest stateroom instead be a cozy cinema, or a gym.
Regardless, a further welcoming space aboard the Mangusta GranSport hull 5 is the sundeck. One hundred eighty-four square feet (56 square meters) is available for lounging all day. While some customers have requested a hot tub here, the standard design includes a hot tub full forward on the raised foredeck. You’ll find this aboard the newly launched superyacht as well. The owner and guests can reach the raised foredeck without obstruction from the sundeck. The foredeck might actually become a family-gathering spot because of a settee and a sunpad accompanying the hot tub.
Certainly, the family will gather frequently to enjoy the watertoys. Mangusta equipped the yacht with a tender garage accommodating two PWCs, a handful of toys, and a 18’5” (5.65-meter) primary tender. Also noteworthy, the swim platform extends to make the transom more of a beach club. It additionally has an automatically deploying swim ladder and a handy shower.
Delivery should take place before the end of the cruising season in the Med.
