Overmarine, based in Viareggio, Italy, is the builder of the Mangusta range of fast open motor yachts, a series that has become synonymous with high-performance Italian design and the open-water lifestyle of the Mediterranean. The Mangusta profile, with its low freeboard, large open decks and powerful propulsion systems, offers charter guests a distinctly different experience from the more traditional displacement yachts that dominate the Caribbean charter fleet.
Guadeloupe provides a warm, clear-water environment where the Mangusta open-deck lifestyle translates well. The sheltered lagoon of the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin and the protected bays of the Saintes allow Mangusta yachts to anchor comfortably and deploy their water sports equipment without the swell that can make open-water anchorages challenging. The proximity of Marie-Galante and Dominica extends the range of any itinerary.
Overmarine Mangusta charter yachts around Guadeloupe are typically priced from 30,000 to 120,000 euros per week depending on size and specification. The advance provisioning allowance, covering fuel, food, port fees and drinks, adds approximately 30 percent. Fuel costs for fast motor yachts should be discussed in advance with the charter manager, as high-speed operation materially increases the running cost.
For guests who want to cover distance quickly between islands without the formality of a large displacement superyacht, a Mangusta offers an attractive alternative, combining genuine performance with comfortable accommodation and the distinctive Italian aesthetic that sets this range apart from the rest of the Caribbean charter market.
