New Model: Overmarine Mangusta Gransport 33

The first vessel in Overmarine Group’s new Mangusta GranSport 33 series was launched in the last week of July and performed sea trials.  While being the entry level in the Mangusta GranSport line, this vessel, pencilled by Alberto Mancini in cooperation with Overmarine Group’s technical departments can offer spacious volumes and technical details that can normally be found on larger yachts. She can surely be defined as a 33-meter yacht with the heart and soul of a true mega yacht.  The Mangusta GranSport 33 is a sporty and yet extremely comfortable vessel, boasting timeless elegance and a very strong personality. She perfectly combines style and technical solutions, the utmost expression of this flawless blend being her outstanding performances and unmatched efficiency. The same design style harmoniously unravels across both the exteriors and the interiors, turning every inch of the yacht into a pleasant, functional space.  Overmarine Group’s Interiors Department has worked side by side with the designer Mancini and the Owner to select the perfect furniture, furnishings and décor. The final outcome is a stylish, but also extremely functional yacht, just what her American Owner had asked for.  Stepping aboard, one can only be impressed by this vessel’s huge volumes at 228 Gross Tonnage, she is definitely among the best in her class. At the stern, a large cockpit fitted with a dining table and a bar area welcomes the guests on board. Indoors, the main deck comprises an airy saloon brightened by ceiling-high windows, two of which can be opened to ensure natural ventilation. The galley is adjacent to the saloon for fast and easy service.  Further on the main deck, at the bow, is the 40 sq. m. master cabin, which offers the Owner airiness, comfort, and incredible brightness. The entire lower deck accommodates the 4 guest cabins, which can be arranged in different layouts and solutions, depending on the Owner’s wishes and taste.  The 56 sqm flybridge can come in different versions, open or enclosed. On this first unit, the Owner has chosen the enclosed option, so as to obtain a real sky lounge with an indoor TV room – an innovative, interesting solution. The outdoor area is extremely enjoyable, thanks to a sunbathing area and a Jacuzzi with bar, allowing the Owner and his guests to spend blissful moments of relaxation while enjoying utter privacy and total freedom of movement.  From the flybridge, access can easily be gained to the bow, another convivial area, located forward on the same level and featuring a pool with hydro-massage and sunbathing area, completed by a lounge area with a sofa and a table.  The 28 sqm garage can fit a 5.65 m tender and two water-skis, delivering an incredible storage capacity that makes this model one of the best in class. The aft platform can be extended to become a spacious living area by the sea.  The Mangusta GranSport 33 can rely on a propulsion package featuring four Volvo 1000hp with IPS propulsion engines that can push her to a maximum speed of 26 knots while ensuring reduced consumption against vessels of the same size with traditional propulsion systems, and maximum comfort thanks to extremely low vibrations and impressive noiselessness. Other distinctive technical features on this yacht are her excellent manoeuvrability, enhanced by the Joystick Docking system, the dynamic positioning system allowing to keep the craft stable in one position, and the electrical stabilising fins. Her very limited draft of under two meters, means she can comfortably cruise even in very shallow waters, makes this yacht ideal, for instance, in the Bahamas in winter or the Hamptons in the summer.

The other two models in the Mangusta GranSport line, the 54 and 45 are also going to be delivered also during the summer.

Project: Vanquish VQ80 Sportfish

Vanquish Yachts in the Netherlands confirms a new order for a sleek, saucy and fully bespoke sportfish yacht the likes of which has never been seen among the shoals. The 24-metre will be known as the VQ80 Sportfish, and is expected to serve as the Chase Boat for Project SkyFall, a 60-metre superyacht currently under construction at Heesen. One of the fastest superyachts on the planet today, she combines fantastic sportfish functionality with the unique Vanquish lifestyle and pure design elements that have brought the brand global fame.  The product of many months of Research and Design cooperation and direct contacts between Vanquish Yachts founder Tom Steentjes, the owner’s team, exterior and interior designer Guido de Groot and the naval architects at Studio Delta, this game-changing project will introduce an unprecedented degree of imposing looks, breakneck speed and high-tech sophistication to the conservative sea-fishing world. A hybrid between a luxurious sportfish superyacht and a VQ powerboat at the peak of its performance, this fast fully-custom chase boat will have every conceivable facility and layout option for the avid-angler owner and his fishing buddies.  The thunder for this extreme boat will be provided by the next-generation Cat marine engine, set to offer a storming 4800 horsepower in total. The brand-new Caterpillars will in turn feed two surface drives that will drive the VQ80 at 51 knots in light load conditions. Advancing the throttles will be an experience in itself on the most powerful VQ to date, which will also carry a whopping 5700 litres of fuel. With a range at 48 to 50 knots of 330 nautical miles, the best off-the-beaten-track fishing grounds come into play and no school of fish will be safe.  The deployment of Petestep’s hull technology will increase efficiency by over 15% in high speeds, allowing for an impressive top speed and operating range. In combination with the suspension effect of the Petestep deflectors, the VQ80 SportFish will set a new benchmark for performance and ride comfort in the yacht industry.  The VQ80 Sportfish will also offer a fantastic fishing experience for a super sportfish kitted out with the latest Garmin gear including fish-finders and chart plotters. Once the reel battle has been won, hydraulic doors open both port and starboard to safely haul the fish into the hold. A great deal of consideration has been given to storage for the catch as well as the widest range of fishing equipment and rods.  The formable profile of this VQ80 SportsFish exudes power and speed in every detail, with an aggressive paint scheme adding to the mix.  The elegant and sporty interior will continue the cool exterior ascetic with carbon fibre finishing, lots of play with light features, dark faucets and an absence of wood finishes. The large saloon has an additional outside sitting area to relax or watch the angling action. Good-sized refrigerators, large televisions, DJ panels and a wide selection of other entertainment facilities will provide a top-drawer after-fishing vibe.  Storage space has been subject to careful scrutiny in the luxury areas too in order to make life easy for owners and guests during extended stays. Overnight expeditions will be a pleasure thanks to the forward owner’s suite and two double guest cabins. With accommodation for two crew members also included, the onboard service levels will be high. Last but not least, a Seakeeper 26 will ensure maximum comfort at anchor.  Due for delivery in spring 2023, the remarkable VQ80 SportsFish reinforces the unrivalled potential to build 24-metre custom powerboats on offer at VQ Yachts. The Dutch yard already has a wide variety of projects in build in other sizes, including the VQ11 and VQ16 waterscooter tenders, the composite VQ40 SuperSport, and the VQ45, VQ52, VQ58 and VQ68, all brilliantly built in aluminium.  Vanquish has recently extended its facilities to deal with an upsurge in orders and established a new division called Vanquish Super Yachts to handle larger builds such as the VQ80 Sportfish.
