The Overmarine Group has sold a twelfth yacht of its flagship Mangusta 165 series.
The fast, unique and comfortable 50-m yacht has become a reference point for the market, the Italian builder says, adding that the new yacht will be delivered in Europe in 2017.
Group Commercial Director Francesco Frediani comments: “Over the past few years we have established ourselves more and more as a leader in large, open semi-custom yachts. Our clients tell us this, as they continue to choose our models, as does the market which values our professionalism and understands our quality and the technical choices. Mangusta 165 has undoubtedly contributed to turning the Mangusta brand into an icon.”
He adds that Overmarine’s reputation has been successfully built up over the years by its owners, the Balducci family.
The Mangusta 165 E hull number 12 - in which E stands for Evolution - features more muscular, aggressive lines, a single window at the height of the salon which offers excellent visibility from the inside letting in copious amounts of natural light, and a longer flybridge with an aesthetic grill astern which gives the yacht an even greater dynamic boost.
The propulsion package provides for 4x2600 HP MTU 16V2000 M94 engines, 4 Rolls Royce/Kamewa NP waterjets and 4 Seakeeper stabilisers: a better weight/power ratio, modular functionality on demand, optimised spaces in the engine room and greater efficiency, which all translate into a better performance and greater yield.
The performance is similar to its predecessors, but consumption is considerably lower. The effectiveness of the stabilisation system is so great during cruising too that the yacht can be used in displacement mode at a minimum speed of 8-10 knots and in total comfort at all times. This greatly expands the range of speeds at which she can be used, the builder says.
There is also a range of new hi-tech gadgets on board such as dynamic positioning, which makes it possible to keep the yacht still in a selected GPS position without dropping anchor. This is achieved by acting on the effect of the tide, the wind and the current simply by combining direction and propulsion.
The interiors, as on all Mangusta yachts, are custom-built and the group’s Artistic Office has already started work with the owner to decide the layout, furnishings and décor.
The yacht will be ready in 2017.
