Overmarine Group is an Italian motor yacht builder producing the Mangusta range from Pisa, designing vessels that prioritise speed, aggressive exterior styling, and a charter experience centred on performance rather than displacement cruising. The Mangusta line covers GRP and aluminium builds from 28 to 165 metres, with the sporty 92 and 130 series among the most recognisable hulls in the European charter fleet. The three Overmarine yachts available in Caribbean and Windward Island waters from Barbados bring that performance character to the island-hopping circuits of the Grenadines, where short passages and frequent anchorage changes suit a fast motor yacht well. Barbados provides a comfortable western staging point, with calm west-coast anchorages at Carlisle Bay and Holetown and provisioning access in Bridgetown before departure south. Weekly charter rates for an Overmarine Mangusta from Barbados typically run from 35,000 to 80,000 euros per week depending on size and season, with an advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covering fuel for a fast hull, provisions, crew gratuities, and marina fees. Caribbean peak season is December through April. A Mangusta’s speed is a genuine itinerary asset in the Grenadines: the passage from Barbados to Bequia in Saint Vincent takes around four hours at 22 knots, and Mustique and the Tobago Cays can be reached in a single day of island-hopping rather than spread over two.
