Mangusta 80
Navélia day Yacht Charters
yacht overview
The Mangusta 80 is one of Overmarine’s most successful high-performance open yachts, widely regarded as a benchmark for Mediterranean-style cruising. Designed by Andrea Bacigalupo, she was conceived for fast coastal transits and maximum time spent outdoors, combining an aggressive profile with expansive deck spaces. Her deep-V hull and Arneson surface drives allow for confident high-speed cruising while maintaining stability, producing the dramatic rooster tail that has become a signature of the model. The layout reflects a clear focus on lifestyle, with open-air social areas balanced by quiet, protected interior spaces. This makes the Mangusta 80 particularly well suited for a relaxed yet exhilarating day charter in Saint-Tropez, while also offering one of the most dynamic ways to experience the French Riviera coastline, moving effortlessly between anchorages and beach clubs.

yacht amenities
The Mangusta 80 typically accommodates up to seven guests across three cabins, including a full-beam master suite located amidships for enhanced comfort, a forward VIP cabin, and a twin guest cabin often fitted with a Pullman berth. A defining feature is the split-level layout, which includes a dedicated lower salon that serves as a quiet, air-conditioned retreat with seating and a TV, ideal for resting away from the sun. The main deck is centred around open living, with a large cockpit beneath a retractable hard top that allows guests to choose between shade and full sun, complemented by expansive aft sunpads and a private foredeck sunbathing area. Outdoor amenities commonly include a wet bar with fridge, ice maker, and grill, while the swim platform provides easy access to the sea. Onboard comfort is supported by air conditioning, Wi-Fi, satellite television, and premium sound systems, and the yacht typically carries a Williams Jet Tender along with water toys such as SeaBobs, a jet ski, paddleboards, and towable equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
About This Yacht

The Mangusta 80 was designed for Mediterranean use, where fast transits, shallow anchorages, and open-air living are essential. Its speed allows guests to move quickly between beach clubs and bays, while the expansive deck areas make it ideal for long afternoons at anchor in Saint-Tropez.
