The second unit of the Mangusta 104 REV series was launched in Viareggio. The Mangusta 104 REV is a result of the joint work of the Group’s Engineering Department and designer Igor Lobanov, this vessel’s sporty and slender lines preserve the Mangusta DNA, but reinterpret it in a modern key. The first hull was launched in June 2021. 



The Mangusta 104 REV is a 32-meter vessel in composite material. Her propulsion system, featuring two Kamewa waterjets coupled with MTU 2400 hp engines, pushes her to a maximum speed of 35 knots in the utmost comfort and without any vibrations. At the cruising speed of 30 knots, the yacht has a range of 320 nautical miles. A Seakeeper gyro stabilizer allows this craft to deliver impressive performances and comfort, both when cruising, even in choppy seas, and at anchor. The yacht complies with the MCA Commercial Coding and is classified by Bureau Veritas.

“This is the second Mangusta 104 REV unit built for the American market. To this aim, she has been endowed with characteristics that make her ideal not only for the Mediterranean Sea, but also overseas, thanks to her ability to swiftly move from one marina to the next and to her limited draught, allowing to cruise in shallow waters, too”, explains Overmarine Group CEO, Maurizio Balducci.



One of the most notable features is the salon, which – thanks to the sliding, concealing door – can be converted into single open area with the outdoor cockpit. The forward area and the fly bridge feature comfortable lounge sofas, sunbathing areas, and a bar area, maximizing the concept of lifestyle meant as an unforgettable onboard life experience. She can accommodate eight guests across four cabins, including the full-beam master cabin, and the three guest cabins. 

Second hull will soon undergo sea trials and tests, and be delivered to her owner in May.

The Mangusta 104 REV is built in Overmarine’s shipyard in Viareggio, where three already-sold vessels are currently under construction, with delivery scheduled in the forthcoming season. The next vessel in this series available for sale will be ready for delivery in the first months of 2024.

Overmarine Group was founded in 1985 by the Balducci family. The shipyard builds open and displacement power superyachts under the Mangusta and Mangusta Oceanco brand names.
