Overmarine builds the Mangusta line of motor yachts in Viareggio, a style of Italian boatbuilding defined by long overhangs, deep V-hulls and a visual aggression that announces itself at distance. These are fast, sporty motor yachts designed for owners who value pace and design confidence in equal measure, and the Bahamian passages south from Nassau to Acklins and Crooked Island play to their strengths. The Mangusta hull form eats miles efficiently, arriving at the remote southern anchorages with time to spare for an afternoon in the tender.
Three Overmarine yachts operate in Bahamas and Caribbean waters, typically in the 30-to-45-metre range. These are vessels with serious performance envelopes and interiors that balance Italian design ambition with practical charter functionality. The tender garages are well-positioned for quick water access, and the deck layouts favour social use in warm weather. Crew complements of five to eight manage the technical systems with the efficiency the yard’s design demands.
Charter rates for Overmarine yachts in the Bahamas and Caribbean typically fall between 45,000 and 110,000 euros per week before expenses. The advance provisioning allowance of around thirty percent covers fuel, food, drinks, berthing and local fees. High season runs December through April with holiday period premiums. The Overmarine hull efficiency is notable at cruise speed, which partially offsets fuel costs on the longer inter-island passages.
From Acklins, the Overmarine’s speed makes the Exumas and Long Island accessible as day or overnight passages, expanding the effective cruising range. Colonel Hill on Crooked Island is the sheltered first base, with Landrail Point for Atlantic diving and Pitts Town Lagoon for quiet days. The outer Acklins cays, from Lovely Bay south, provide empty beach anchoring for guests who came precisely to escape the crowd.
