THE NEW MANGUSTA GRANSPORT 33 HITS THE WATER
The first vessel in Overmarine Group’s new Mangusta GranSport 33 series was launched last week and performed sea trials.
While being the entry level in the Mangusta GranSport line, this vessel – penciled by Alberto Mancini in cooperation with Overmarine Group’s technical departments – can offer spacious volumes and technical details that can normally be found on larger yachts. She can surely be defined as a 33-meters vessel with the heart and soul of a true mega yacht.
The Mangusta GranSport 33 is a sporty and yet extremely comfortable vessel, boasting timeless elegance and a very strong personality. She perfectly combines style and technical solutions, the utmost expression of this flawless blend being her outstanding performances and unmatched efficiency. The same design style harmoniously unravels across both the exteriors and the interiors, turning every inch of the yacht into a pleasant, functional space – something that is a real hallmark of the Mangusta brand.
Overmarine Group’s Interiors Department has worked side by side with the designer Mancini and the Owner to select the perfect furniture, furnishings and décor. The final outcome is a stylish, but also extremely functional yacht, just what her American Owner had asked for.
Stepping aboard, one can only be impressed by this vessel’s huge volumes – at 228 GT, she is definitely among the best in her class. At the stern, a large cockpit fitted with a dining table and a bar area welcomes the guests on board. Indoors, the main deck comprises an airy saloon brightened by ceiling-high windows – two of which can be opened to ensure natural ventilation. The galley is adjacent to the saloon for fast and easy service.
Further on the main deck, at the bow, is the 40 sq. m. master cabin, which offers the Owner airiness, comfort, and incredible brightness. The entire lower deck accommodates the 4 guest cabins, which can be arranged in different layouts and solutions, depending on the Owner’s wishes and taste.
The 56 sq. m. flybridge can come in different versions, open or enclosed. On this first unit, the Owner has chosen the enclosed option, so as to obtain a real sky lounge with an indoor TV room – an innovative, interesting solution. The outdoor area is extremely enjoyable, thanks to a sunbathing area and a Jacuzzi with bar, allowing the Owner and his guests to spend blissful moments of relaxation while enjoying utter privacy and total freedom of movement.
From the flybridge, access can easily be gained to the bow, another convivial area, located forward on the same level and featuring a pool with hydromassage and sunbathing area, completed by a lounge area with a sofa and a table.
The 28 sq. m. garage can fit a 5.65 m tender and two water-skis, delivering an incredible storage capacity that makes this model one of the best in class. The aft platform can be extended to become a spacious living area by the sea.
The Mangusta GranSport 33 can rely on a propulsion package featuring 4 Volvo IPS engines that can push her to a maximum speed of 26 knots while ensuring reduced consumption against vessels of the same size with traditional propulsion systems, and maximum comfort thanks to extremely low vibrations and impressive noiselessness. Other distinctive technical features on this yacht are her excellent maneuverability, enhanced by the Joystick Docking system, the dynamic positioning system allowing to keep the craft stable in one position, and the electrical stabilizing fins. Her very limited draft, 1.9 m (6,2 ft.), which means she can comfortably cruise even in very shallow waters, makes this yacht ideal, for instance, in the Bahamas in winter or the Hamptons in the summer.
The second units of the other two models in the Mangusta GranSport line are also going to be delivered during the summer – a 54-metre craft, the flagship in this series, and a 45-metre one.
