Overmarine, the Italian yard behind the Mangusta brand, has been building fast planing motor yachts since 1966 from its facility in Viareggio. The Mangusta series spans open-style sport yachts and larger Oceano displacement builds, with the sport range typically running from 65 to over 130 feet and characterised by aggressive exterior profiles, wide-open deck layouts and hull speeds that make short work of inter-island passages.nnMangusta charters in the Mustique area are typically sport motor yachts in the 20 to 35 metre range, with planing hulls, exposed flybridge designs and aft decks optimised for sun and socialising. The open aesthetic pairs well with the Caribbean’s warm, calm seas, where the hull speed is a practical advantage and the deck space doubles as a swimming platform, activity base and sundeck. Crew sizes are lean and focused on a high-energy, active charter experience.nnWeekly charter rates for Overmarine-Mangusta vessels available near Mustique typically fall between 25,000 and 80,000 euros depending on vessel size and season. An advance provisioning allowance of roughly 25 to 30 percent covers fuel, provisions and crew gratuity. Caribbean high season runs from December through April, when the combination of fast hull and Caribbean sunshine is at its most appealing.nnMustique works well as a base for a Mangusta, particularly for guests focused on water sports, snorkelling and fast day runs between the Grenadines islands rather than extended overnight passages. Britannia Bay provides shelter, and the short distances to Tobago Cays, Canouan and Bequia are covered at Mangusta pace in under two hours.
