Overmarine builds the Mangusta line of motor yachts in Viareggio, and the yard’s long-overhanging, deep-V-hulled vessels are among the most visually distinctive in the global charter market. These are fast, sporty motor yachts designed for owners who value pace and design confidence, and the combination of speed and moderate size makes them well-suited to the Andros Island cruising ground, where passages between Nassau and the island’s varied anchorages reward efficient hull forms.
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 reflect the Italian design tradition in its contemporary mode. The tender garages are positioned for quick water access, and the deck arrangements favour social use in warm weather. Crew of five to eight manage the technical systems with the efficiency that the yard’s design demands.
Charter rates for Overmarine yachts in the Bahamas and Caribbean fall between approximately 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. The Mangusta hull efficiency is notable at cruise speed, which reduces fuel costs on the Nassau-to-Andros passage and local day runs. High season runs December through April.
From Andros, the Overmarine’s speed makes Nassau and the northern Exumas accessible as day or overnight passages while the island provides a full week of reef diving, flat-water anchoring and sport fishing. Fresh Creek is the barrier reef base. Nicholl’s Town provides the northern anchorage. Mangrove Cay offers flat-water days in the South Bight. Behring Point opens the western bonefish flats. Congo Town near the southern tip adds local colour.
