MAMBO is a Ferretti Custom Line 112, an Italian tri-deck motor yacht drawn by Gianni Zuccon and built in 2004, with a 2023 refit that keeps her current more than two decades on. She charters the Bahamas, a cruising ground of shallow banks, quiet cays and clear water that rewards a yacht with volume, shade and an easy relationship with the sea. For families and groups who want space and a proper crewed experience without the scale of a larger superyacht, she is a considered choice.
Custom Line built its name on volume and comfortable sea manners, and MAMBO carries both. Her three decks give a run of distinct spaces to spread out, from the shaded aft decks to an open sundeck and flybridge, so a group of eight is never on top of one another. The 2023 refit refreshed her finishes and systems, and the Zuccon design still reads as clean and current, with the balanced proportions that have kept these yachts in demand.
Much of the day happens on the upper decks. The flybridge carries sunpads, shaded seating and a bar, a social space with a long view over the water, while the sundeck below adds another layer of lounging in the sun or the shade. The aft decks step down toward the water, set for meals in the shade and quiet evenings as the light drops over the anchorage.
At the waterline a broad swim platform gives easy access for swimming and the tenders, and the Bahamas provide the setting, with sandbars and reefs a short tender ride from most anchorages. A jet ski and a locker of water toys keep active guests busy, while calmer days can be spent entirely on deck.
Inside, the main salon runs wide and bright, a lounge and a formal dining area under large windows finished in warm woods and soft, neutral tones. The interior feels generous and unhurried, a cool retreat from the Bahamian sun that keeps the sea in view from almost every seat.
Four cabins sleep eight guests. The master suite runs full beam with its own marble en suite, a VIP mirrors it below, and further cabins complete the layout, each finished to the same standard. The accommodation is comfortable and private, arranged so couples and families can share the yacht with ease.
A professional crew run MAMBO with the polish her size and pedigree invite, handling the cooking, the water toys and the detail of the day so guests can settle into the pace of the islands. Service is attentive without being formal, which suits a relaxed Bahamas charter.
Below deck a dedicated crew and a well equipped galley support long charters in remote waters, so the yacht can stay out among the cays for days at a time without a run back to port. Provisioning, water and power are handled aboard, which keeps the itinerary in the hands of the guests rather than the marina.
MAMBO spends her season in the Bahamas, working the Exumas, the Abacos and the quieter cays where the water is at its clearest and the anchorages are calm. For a family or a group after space, shade and a genuine three deck motor yacht at a sensible price, she is an easy yacht to enjoy.
