Overmarine Group is an Italian motor yacht builder producing the Mangusta range from Pisa, designing vessels with a performance-first philosophy expressed in aggressive exterior styling, high cruising speeds, and a deck layout centred on outdoor living. The Mangusta line spans GRP and aluminium builds from 28 to 165 metres, with the sporty 92 and 130 series among the most recognisable hulls in the European and Caribbean charter fleet. In Dominica, the Mangusta’s speed is a genuine operational advantage: the island’s central position in the Windward Islands means passages to Martinique, Guadeloupe, and the Les Saintes are all under two hours at 22 knots, maximising time in Dominica’s natural anchorages and reducing the time spent at sea between island stops. Prince Rupert Bay on the northwest coast is the primary anchorage, sheltered and deep enough for large motor yachts, with Portsmouth’s waterfront and the Indian River accessible by tender. Scott’s Head at the southern tip provides a volcanic crater dive site framed by dramatic coastal cliffs. Weekly charter rates for an Overmarine Mangusta from Dominica typically run from 35,000 to 80,000 euros per week, 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. The Mangusta’s fuel consumption at high speed is higher than displacement equivalents, and the provisioning allowance should account for a higher fuel component on the Dominica circuit.
