Overmarine Group, builders of the Mangusta range, produce motor yachts that have come to define a particular style of Italian open design. The Mangusta signature is a long, low hull with a large open cockpit aft, a pronounced bow, and performance figures that typically exceed those of conventional displacement motor yachts of similar length. Three Overmarine yachts are available for charter in the Dominican Republic, offering an experience that trades some accommodation volume for genuine speed and visual drama on the water.nnThe Dominican Republic fleet runs from around 72 to 92 feet. These are primarily day-charter and overnight yachts where the cockpit and exterior spaces are the dominant living environment. Below decks, the master cabin and guest cabins are well finished and properly air-conditioned, but the real life of an Overmarine charter happens on deck: entertaining in the open cockpit, launching from the bathing platform into warm Caribbean water, or watching the Dominican coastline blur past at 30 knots.nnWeekly rates range from approximately 25,000 to 55,000 euros, with the advance provisioning allowance adding around 30 percent. The December to April window suits these yachts well as trade wind conditions in the northern Caribbean make for exhilarating downwind passages.nnFrom Puerto Plata in the north to the whale sanctuary of Samaná Bay and the sheltered lagoon at Cayo Levantado, an Overmarine yacht can cover the Dominican Republic’s highlights efficiently. The run southwest to Bahía de las Águilas is a natural day trip from a base at La Romana.
