Overmarine’s Mangusta range produces fast, Italian-designed motor yachts that use pace to change the geography of a charter week, and in the southern Bahamas that advantage is considerable. Three Overmarine yachts charter in the Bahamas, each offering the combination of high speed and Italian styling that has made the Mangusta brand recognisable in the charter market worldwide. Ragged Island, an overnight passage from Nassau on a displacement yacht, is a half-day run on a Mangusta, which can arrive in time for an afternoon swim in the Jumentos Cays and still have four full days of exploration ahead. Charter rates for Overmarine yachts in the Bahamas typically range from 80,000 to 180,000 euros per week depending on hull length and season. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent applies, covering fuel, provisions, dockage and crew gratuities. The season runs November through May. Fuel consumption on a Mangusta is higher than a displacement hull at equivalent passage speeds, so itineraries should account for the Nassau-to-Ragged-Island round trip fuel burn when calculating the advance provisioning allowance. The reward is access to waters that most charter yachts of similar quality would spend half their week reaching.
