Mangusta Oceano 44 Reviewed

• By Phil Draper
• May 12, 2023

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Since 1985 the builder has built more than 300 yachts, including 12 Mangusta 165s — the world’s fastest 165-foot (50m) maxi open yacht — built and sold in six years. The Balducci family behind the helm of Overmarine still runs the company today. Offering three different lines of yachts, customized Mangusta yachts for sale are diverse and innovative, allowing yacht owners to experience both the yacht and life on water as they see fit. Overmarine Mangusta leads the market in the maxi open yacht segment. The Maxi Open yachts, like the Sport 104, 110, 132E, 165E and 215, are perfectly suited for the Mediterranean yachting lifestyle. Mangusta are well-known not only for their top performance but also for their impeccable styling. This line has afforded the Mangusta brand with unparalleled success in the segment.

“Overmarine’s Mangusta yachts are exceptional. They offer inspired Italian design and top performance. Especially well-suited for the Mediterranean thanks to their speed and agility, they are extremely popular yachts in the European market, but have a following around the world,” says Northrop & Johnson Sales Broker David Seal. “The Mangusta yachts for sale also are well suited for buyers who are looking for world-cruising capabilities without compromising style as the Mangusta Oceanco segment lends itself to long-range cruising. Performance-minded buyers will rejoice as Mangusta yachts, especially the GranSport, which are built to perform with high speeds and top capabilities.”

Produced in Tuscany by the premier Italian builder Overmarine, Mangusta yachts are built to high standards. Production of these yachts spans 10 facilities between Pisa, Massa and Viareggio. In addition to 190,000 square meters of indoor and outdoor facilities, the Viareggio yard also has two wharfs where the builder is able to undertake final preparations, after-sale service and layovers. Overmarine oversees all aspects of the build process from mold making to lamination of composite materials to fitting interiors, including electronics. In addition, the brand’s in-house design team is able to work with owners to conceptualize the yacht of their dreams. Upon receiving your yacht, Overmarine ensures the ownership process of Mangustas is stress free thanks to a technical office and 24-hour, seven-days-a-week after-sales services. Additional offices in Miami, Florida, and Golfe Juan in the French Riviera as well as dealers around the world that provide added support for owners.

Guests will relish the variety of amenities available on board the different yachts in the Mangusta family.”

Overmarine Mangusta Boat Models

Overmarine produces Mangusta yachts, which are separated into three lines: The Mangusta Open Maxi line, the Mangusta Oceano line and the latest edition, the Mangusta GranSport.

Maxi Open Yacht Models

It all began 30 years ago with the Mangusta Maxi Open. Currently the market leader in this segment of yachts, there are five size options available for the Maxi Open: 94 feet (28.6m), 110 feet (33.5m), 132 feet (40.2m), 165 feet (50.2m) and 215 feet (65.5m) in length.

All of the Maxi Open yachts are exceptional. Offering iconic style, excellent stability, resulting in total comfort and a quiet ride for those aboard, top performance in terms of speed and agility and well-thought-out layouts that allow guests to utilize the yacht to its fullest potential, there is a reason this line is a leader in the market. The most prominent of the Maxi Open range is the 165-foot (50.2m) Mangusta 165 E series. Welcoming 12 guests in six lavish staterooms and running with nine crewmembers, she is ideally suited for owners with a penchant for performance and style. Her interior is fully customizable to the owner’s taste.

Oceano Yacht Models

The Mangusta Oceano line is perfect for those looking to cruise beyond the bounds of the typical yachting hot spots and explore more remote destinations. Offering the same high-performance capabilities that you would come to expect from Overmarine’s yachts and utilizing the same high-tech processes, but with the addition of metal for long-range purposes, the Mangusta Oceano truly is prime for travel. Available in as at 141 feet (43m), 150 feet (46m), 180 feet (55m) or 197 feet (60m), the interior volume found aboard yachts in the Mangusta Oceano range is truly remarkable. Built to rival explorer yachts available on the market today, Mangusta’s distinguished exterior style and contemporary interiors are aligned with a nautical range of up to 5,000 miles and an impressive beach club.

Gransport Yacht Models

The latest addition to Overmarine’s repertoire is the Mangusta GranSport line. Created to be the perfect blend of the Maxi Open and Oceanco lines, the GranSport offers an exceptional range with high speeds and top performance. The first of this line was a 177-foot (54m) launched in summer 2018 and welcomed with great acclaim. You can expect to see more of the GranSport line hitting the markets soon.

Perfect Lady: On board the first Mangusta Gransport 33 superyacht

The first Mangusta Gransport 33, Perfect Lady , expertly matches family-friendly customisations with grown-up elegance

The 2020 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show – held during a global pandemic – faced unprecedented challenges. The docks, normally chock-full of exhausted journalists, harried vendors and Budweiser-drinking show-goers, were at times nearly empty. A few show plots traditionally reserved for boats by the industry’s biggest brands were noticeably filled by lesser-known competitors. Nevertheless, the type of qualified customers that make builders happy were still in attendance. And in terms of the boats on display, there were some true bright spots – among them Mangusta’s first Gransport 33, Perfect Lady , built for American owners.

Hull No 1 of the Gransport 33 lives in South Florida. Her first-time Mangusta owners plans to use the yacht often with their children and grandchildren. “The owner approached us looking to build a family boat, and we built around that concept, with great volume and many customisations, while keeping in mind our style and the way we wanted the boat to look,” says Stefano Arlunno, president Americas at Mangusta Yachts. “We wanted a good-looking Italian design, but on steroids.”

Though a respectable 33 metres long, this is the baby of the Gransport line, which also includes the 45-metre Gransport 45 and the flagship Gransport 54. The Gransport line itself represents a happy median for Mangusta, occupying the space in between the builder’s Maxi Open line and the more cruise-oriented Oceano vessels.

The Gransport 33 is particularly notable as the first Mangusta designed with pods. Quad 1,000 horsepower Volvo Penta IPS 1350s (the largest on the market) reside in her belly and provide the yacht with her get up and go. The Gransport 33 has a top speed of 26 knots and cruises ably at 20 knots. Her range is 330 nautical miles thanks to a robust fuel capacity of 12,610 litres.

“There are a lot of things I love about this boat, but the garage is truly one of my favourites; the size of it really is remarkable for a boat in this class,” says Arlunno.

At the Fort Lauderdale show, the full-beam garage held a Williams Jet Tender 505 although, with a footprint of 28 square metres, it can accommodate the 5.5-metre Williams Jet 565 with room to spare for a couple of water toys.

Mangusta was able to play with a generous volume of 228 gross tonnes thanks to a beam of 7.3 metres, assigning most of it to the accommodation and guest areas. As you might have expected from an Italian builder with a reputation for its sport yachts, the space in the engine room won’t leave the crew writing home anytime soon, but it works.

The Mangusta Gransport 33’s lines are unapologetically low-profile and sleek. She looks ready to peel away through the whitecaps as the sun sinks low and head to someplace even better.

The yacht’s distinct lines were penned by Alberto Mancini , the Monaco-based Italian designer who in recent years has worked with such names as Azimut and Fairline, as well as developing the Gransport line with Mangusta. He achieved the look by mirroring a straight sheer line with flybridge lines that run nearly parallel to it. Coupled with a steeply raked windshield and a black hardtop that all but disappears to the eye, everything about the 33’s exterior aesthetics scream slick. This was all done without add-ons or metallic paints. “Mangustas don’t need that,” says Mancini. “I design in black and white – I’m very proud of that, because it holds you to a certain purity of design, and I think we accomplished that [purity] with this yacht.”

Despite this rakish styling, the spaces are generous in part thanks to the builder’s choice of propulsion. “The IPS engines choice is a great advantage in terms of space for the lower deck accommodations. I was able to design a generous layout for the VIP and guest cabins,” says Mancini. “And of course, that translates to the main deck master as well.”

It was also very important for Mangusta that, as Mancini puts it, “the exterior and the interior speak with one another. Many sport yachts have the sleek lines but their interiors may be suffering for it. Not with this yacht.”

While Mancini worked with the builder on the layout, the decor and finishes were all handled by Mangusta’s in-house interior design team with input from the owners. The interior mirrors the 33’s sharp appearance and stands out for myriad customisations, many of them centred around family use. With safety for younger children and upkeep in mind, Mangusta’s team designed this boat with rounded edges nearly everywhere, easy-to-wash fabrics and matt finishes to avoid smudges from tiny hands. “The owners wanted to keep the interior simple because of the grandkids,” says Arlunno. The goal was to achieve a “natural, contemporary as well as organic” feel. Another child-oriented decision was to use the space available for PWCs in the garage for four Seabobs, which the owners feel are safer and more age-appropriate for younger children.

The garage’s massive door can flip up to provide shade and an outdoor shower as well as an articulated ladder with automatic handrails by Italian company Sanguineti Chiavari. This all means the hydraulically operated teak swim platform can pull double duty as a beach club.

Access to the yacht’s aft deck is up one of two staircases flanking the garage space. The outdoor entertainment area here is perfect for greeting guests with an Aperol Spritz and some hors d’oeuvres. The owners chose a layout that maximises their guests’ at-sea experience. A large wet bar to port keeps the refreshments flowing, and a drop-down television above can play the big game while guests lounge on a U-shaped sofa for five, matched with a dining table and three stand-alone chairs.

The aft deck is flush with the main deck (no small design feat), making for an easy, step-less entrance into the saloon through electric glass doors, allowing for one huge conjoined entertainment space. The headroom in the saloon is more than 2.25 metres which, coupled with a large overhead mirror, makes the area feel extremely airy. Near-floor-to-ceiling windows to port and starboard open up electrically to further complement the open feel of the deck. The forward part of the saloon is dominated by a formal dining table for eight and an eye-catching, blue-onyx accent piece.

As is par for the course on a yacht in this class, the Gransport 33’s master cabin is on the main deck, which enhances ease of use, natural light, views and usable space. Mangusta says this master is the largest of any yacht between 30 and 36 metres. Hidden doors to port and starboard reveal massive wardrobes sure to please even the most discerning of clothes horses. The king bed on an island is a nice touch and enjoys exceptional views through the rectangular windows to either side of it. The forward part of the master cabin shines, with his-and-hers sinks to either side of a massive shower with those high ceilings. The shower’s electrically fogging privacy LCD window is a particularly nice touch.

The rest of the accommodations are on their own, lower level. The forward portion of that deck has mirrored twin cabins with Pullman berths – for the grandchildren. A combo washer/dryer at amidships will come in handy on the Bahamas cruises the owners intend to make, while a small fridge eliminates the need to go topside in the middle of the night for a cold drink. The two VIPs amidships have king-size berths and luxurious showers of similar dimensions to those found in the master.

For daytime activities, the Mangusta offers an abundance of outdoor entertainment options beyond the beach club and the aft main deck. The bow area makes a particularly enticing option, as it’s both private while the boat is docked stern-to in a marina, and exhilarating while under way. Mancini also designed beautiful stainless-steel-framed coffee tables in teak. The centrepiece, however, is a large glass-sided shallow spa pool, a feature on the three Gransport models built to date. Imagine sipping a cold flute of champagne in there while cruising at 20 knots – sheer bliss. U-shaped seating forward of the pool serves as a rumble seat of sorts, while a massive sunpad could easily fit five sun worshippers working on their respective bronzes. Another grandchildren-oriented customisation here is the side gates that restrict access from the side decks to the foredeck.

Though the bow deck is stellar, the real highlight for many on board this yacht will be the 56-square-metre flybridge. Yet another child-friendly customisation here is a second spa pool. The owner doesn’t want his grandchildren in the foredeck spa pool while the yacht is under way, so he had a second one put on the aft section of the flybridge. However, it’s not just the kids who will have fun here. A champagne station to port keeps the Veuve Clicquot chilled and ready, while a bar adjacent to and facing the spa pool means the kids can safely get wet while the parents never have to worry about going dry.

Yet perhaps the most intriguing part of the flybridge on the first Mangusta 33 is that it is partially enclosed, making space for a cosy television lounge under an air-conditioned hardtop with skylights.

“I have designed two options for this deck. This is what I like to call the American version,” says Mancini. “It has an enclosed wheelhouse, a large windshield connected to a glass insert in the hardtop and a sliding glass door to access the aft deck. The Mediterranean version shares the same hardtop but has no windshield or sliding glass door.”

Notably, the enclosed helm area up top does not skew the 33’s lines, in part due to liberal use of glass. “Thanks to the transparency of the windshield, there is no compromise of aesthetics when you get the enclosed-bridge version of the yacht,” says Mancini.

While the upper helm is pleasant and well appointed, Mangusta expects that the lower helm will get plenty of run as the position of choice for many skippers. That command centre would be the envy of most, with twin Garmin screens, a dynamic positioning system and a Volvo Penta joystick.

“This is a big boat,” says Arlunno, “but believe it or not, with the systems we have built in, like that joystick, like that dynamic positioning system, she could be used by an owner-operator.”

With hull No 1 of the Gransport 33, Mangusta has managed to hit that rare balance between an ultra-luxurious, super-sleek superyacht and a cruiser that would make anyone feel safe with their family aboard. It makes this yacht a true playground regardless of one’s age.
