Overmarine produces motor yachts under the Mangusta brand, building two lines from its Italian yard: the Mangusta Open series, known for dramatic styling and a cockpit-centred culture, and the Mangusta Oceano, a displacement series offering more enclosed accommodation and range. Both benefit from Italian design sensibility and spirited engineering, and both attract charterers who want a yacht that performs on passage as well as at anchor. Three Overmarine yachts are available in Antigua and Barbuda, representing the Mangusta profile in the Leeward Islands. The open cockpit design translates naturally to the warm sheltered water around Antigua, where guests spend much of the day on deck, in the water, or stepping ashore by tender. The crew of three or four manages watertoys, provisioning, and navigation with practiced efficiency. Weekly rates typically range from 50,000 to 120,000 euros, with the advance provisioning allowance adding approximately 30 percent for fuel, food, drinks, and berthing. Higher cruising speeds on the Open models mean fuel is a more meaningful APA line item than on a displacement yacht. High season runs December to April; November and late April offer good conditions with better availability. Based from Falmouth Harbour, a Mangusta charter suits the energetic approach: short passages at speed to Dickenson Bay, Half Moon Bay, Nonsuch Bay, and the outer Dog Islands, with a crossing to Barbuda for the Pink Sand Beach on a settled day.
