Overmarine Mangusta yachts from Livorno, Italy bring sports-oriented performance to British Virgin Islands charters, and three Overmarine vessels operate in Virgin Islands waters with Cooper Island among their regular stops. Mangusta yachts are planing designs, built for speed over long passages and outdoor living on aft decks that dominate the layout at the expense of interior volume. In the BVI, where inter-island passages are short and anchorages are sheltered, the speed advantage works differently than in the open Mediterranean: Cooper Island Beach Club is reachable from Road Town in fifteen minutes at full cruise, and Anegada, the longest passage in the BVI circuit, takes under an hour. Weekly rates run from approximately 80,000 to 160,000 euros, with the advance provisioning allowance at 30 percent covering the higher fuel consumption that a planing hull demands. Three Overmarine yachts are available in BVI waters, typically in the 30 to 50 metre range, crewed by four to eight and suited to active groups who prioritise time in the water over evenings at anchor. Peak Caribbean season December through April.
