Mangusta Yachts, a stylish Italian line of boats, offers luxury as well as long-range travel yachts.
Mangusta Yachts Family-Owned From The Outset
Mangusta, a stylish Italian line of boats, originated in 1985. The sleek brand was started by members of the Balducci family and is still family-owned. The shipyard facilities are based in Viareggio, Lucca, Italy, and operate as just one of more than 15 companies in the Overmarine Group S.p.A. family.
The Mangusta brand offers luxury as well as long-range travel models and has completed more than 300 vessels delivered to date.
Mangusta Yachts Multiple Production Facilities
The Mangusta line is manufactured in three production facilities in Italy that cover a total of 190,000 square meters of covered and uncovered space.
Darsena Pisana is their metal-working yard in Pisa. This is where several yachts up to 70 meters can be fabricated simultaneously in the company’s 22,000-square-meter facility. The property also houses a showroom and technical department.
Headquarters are located in the shipyard in Viareggio where the Mangusta Maxi Open models are built. Home to the design team, the yard includes both the creative and technical arms of the company’s yacht development. This shipyard also offers on-site continued care with follow-up service for after-yacht sales.
Top-of-the-line composite construction, engineering, and technology are housed in the production yard in Massa.
