Overmarine, the Italian builder behind the Mangusta range, produces high-performance fibreglass motor yachts that combine Italian speed and style with the deck volume that Caribbean charter guests demand. In St Lucia, an Overmarine Mangusta charter brings the performance and visual drama of the range to one of the most scenically extraordinary destinations in the eastern Caribbean: the twin volcanic peaks of the Pitons, the enclosed anchorage of Marigot Bay and the social base of Rodney Bay.
The Overmarine range spans from the open sport Mangusta vessels to the enclosed Oceano semi-displacement series above 50 metres. For St Lucia charter, the combination of speed, deck space and Italian styling makes the Mangusta range a distinctive and practical choice. The GRP construction is light, efficient and suited to the warm-water Caribbean environment. Top speeds in the high 20s of knots make the passages between anchorages a pleasure rather than a commitment.
Weekly charter rates for an Overmarine Mangusta in St Lucia run from approximately 70,000 to 180,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, anchorage or Rodney Bay Marina fees, provisions from the island and crew gratuities. Peak Caribbean season runs from December through April.
St Lucia suits the Mangusta brief: the distances between anchorages on the leeward coast are short enough to cover at speed and leave the majority of each day at anchor, and Rodney Bay provides the provisioning and dining quality the guests of these yachts expect.
