COSMOS I is a thirty three metre Mangusta from 2004, refreshed in a 2018 refit, a fast open sport yacht that brings the Italian yard’s blend of pace and style to the clear water of Greece and the Aegean. She looks after eleven guests across four cabins with a crew of six, and her appeal is clear: a quick, planing hull built for Mediterranean island hopping, vast open sun pads fore and aft, and a bright, modern interior with plenty of room to gather. For a family or a group of friends who want a stylish, properly crewed yacht with real pace and generous deck space, she reads as sporty, sociable and genuinely fun.
Her point of difference is the Mangusta pedigree and the performance that comes with it. Overmarine built the Mangusta line for owners who wanted speed and open air living in equal measure, and COSMOS I still shows that character, with a planted ride at pace and long, uninterrupted runs of teak laid out for the sun. The 2018 refit refreshed the finishes and the systems, so a charter aboard her feels current and cared for, while the twin MTU engines underneath deliver a fast, confident cruise that shortens the run between islands to a lively dash.
Life in the open air is the heart of her. Broad sun pads sweep across the foredeck for lying out over the water, the aft deck sets out a shaded dining table a few paces from the sea with further sun pads astern, and a sea level platform opens onto the water with the tender and a full spread of toys close at hand for a day of swimming and exploring the coast. It is an open, sociable layout that keeps the party together through the day and offers a quieter corner forward when one is wanted, with the clear Aegean always a step away from wherever she has settled for the afternoon.
Inside, the main deck is bright and contemporary, a single open space arranged for easy living. The main salon gathers around soft sofas with the sea drawn in through large windows and a low table at its centre, a formal dining area seats the full party within the same bright volume around a timber table, and a second seating zone offers a quieter corner to one side. The whole deck flows together so the party stays connected whether on the sofa, at the table or watching the coast slip by. The finish is warm and modern throughout, pale timber against soft upholstery, a relaxed look that keeps the focus on the light and the water beyond the glass.
Accommodation is arranged over four cabins for eleven guests. The master stateroom takes a private, well lit position with a wide bed, warm joinery, generous storage and its own bathroom, while a VIP cabin and a twin, each quiet and comfortable with their own facilities, look after the rest of the party below alongside a further guest cabin. It is a flexible plan that suits a family or a group of friends, the twin with its two single beds ready for children or younger guests sharing, every cabin lined in the same warm timber as the main deck.
Under way she is in her element, a quick, assured planing yacht that holds a fast, dry cruise and feels planted even when pressing on toward her top end. Her natural ground is Greece and the Aegean, the harbours and clear water of the Cyclades and the Dodecanese, the Ionian and the coast of Turkey and Croatia all within an easy run of one another, exactly the kind of island hopping a yacht with her turn of speed was made for. Sporty, stylish and attentively crewed, COSMOS I is a lively way to charter the eastern Mediterranean with the whole party kept close.
