Italian shipyard Mangusta Yachts, a brand of Overmarine Group, has announced the launch of the 12th unit from its 33.3-metre Mangusta GranSport 33 model. The motor yacht, which was commissioned for an American owner, hit the water at the yard's new build facilities in Viareggio last week.
The entry level of the Mangusta GranSport line, the Mangusta GranSport 33 is the result of a collaboration between Italian designer Alberto Mancini and Overmarine's technical department. Characterised by "bold styling and modern lines", the model was conceived to offer generous volumes, advanced technology and high performance, all condensed into a 33-metre hull.
"There is a strong bond, made of passion, listening and team vision, that spans the ocean [with these models]," said Stefano Arlunno, president of Mangusta America. "The latest launched unit was designed for an American owner, once again demonstrating that this model resonates with the international market – and with the US one in particular."
Model highlights include large panoramic windows, open layouts and spacious outdoor decks, designed to offer guests "direct contact with the surrounding environment". A 56-square-metre sundeck is also something to note, connected directly to the bow, which features an infinity pool and sunbathing space.
"For this project, our design department has worked closely with the owner throughout an intense and mutually stimulating creative process, which led to a fully customised layout and interior: every single feature has been designed to convey a way of life, where comfort, performance and lifestyle come together in a uniquely balanced way," Arlunno continued.
Accommodation is for 10 guests across a 40-square-metre owner's suite on the main deck and two VIP cabins and two guest cabins on the lower deck.
The launch comes at a busy time for Overmarine Group, with 19 other vessels currently under construction or on order, according to BOATPro. Mangusta recently celebrated the launch of the fifth unit from its flagship 49.9-metre Oceano 50 line, Felicità.
