The Mangusta Neoprene yacht where relaxation meets speed…
Described as the girl your mother shouldn’t meet, the Neoprene from Mangusta is a 108 mega vessel as long and impressive as a Boeing 737. She is built for three things: speed, sunbathing and watersports – and can easily fulfill all of the above.
Featuring an exterior design by Italian studio Stefano Righini Design, with naval architecture by Overmarine, she sails at 46 km/h but can also cut through waves at a choppy 60 km/h thanks to the onboard twin 5,500 horsepower (4045 kW) M90 diesel engines.
The foredeck offers three massive sunbeds that are the perfect size for anyone looking to relax, tan, or siesta in the Mediterranean sun – shade canopies at the ready. At the rear of the yacht, her tender garage can be converted into a beach club, providing the ultimate water’s edge experience next to fishing.
The interior matches the clean finishes of the outer, although with a more contemporary style with neutral tones that contrast the dark exterior. Designed by Barth in Italy, the space was decked out with only the finest quality furnishings, accessories, and silk carpets used – all without a trip to Ikea.
Ten guests are comfortably accommodated in the staterooms and master suite. With a king-size bed, walk-in wardrobe and an on-suite bath, the suite is a perfect haven after a tough day lazing near the water. She also has accommodations for five crew members in three cabins if you allow peasants on board.
The storage for the water toys on the Neoprene is next level, able to house 5 sea scooters, 2 kayaks, 1 inflatable kayak, 2 paddleboards, and a lazyboy pontoon. Also, something not seen on a boat of this size, calibre, or reputation – there are side cabinets specifically built to hold the jetskis. The Neoprene will always be vacation ready with many getaway options at the ready.
