Mangusta 108

The Mangusta 108 carries the low, deep-V lines Mangusta is known for, and at 33 metres she reads as much sport yacht as superyacht — built for a fast, planing ride at around 35 knots rather than a slow displacement cruise. The bow lounge sits forward of the wheelhouse, cushioned and open to the sky, while aft the al-fresco dining area turns the cockpit into a proper table for twelve rather than a snack stop between swims. A wide swim platform at the stern keeps the transition from deck to water simple, useful for boarding after a swim stop or bringing the tender alongside.

Her speed changes what a day out of Sardinia can look like. A charter based in Porto Cervo or Olbia can use the Mangusta 108 to cover more coastline in an afternoon than a slower motor yacht would manage — a run along the granite bays of the Costa Smeralda, or out toward the Maddalena Archipelago's calmer, more sheltered anchorages, stays comfortably within a single day's plan. Four cabins mean the guest list can be a family group, close friends travelling together, or a small corporate party without anyone doubling up, and the aft dining space keeps lunch or dinner on board straightforward wherever the yacht drops anchor.

This is a yacht for guests who want the presence of a superyacht without the pace of one — owners and charterers drawn to sport-yacht handling, a shallower draft for tucking closer to shore, and a layout built around time on deck rather than formal interior living. Best suited to day charters and short multi-day runs along the Sardinian coast, the Mangusta 108 works for groups who want to move between bays in the same day as easily as they settle into one for the afternoon.
