Mangusta Yachts: What Every Buyer Must Know

Before Buying A Mangusta

If you’re browsing Mangusta yachts for sale, it’s fair to say that you’re preferences are fast, sleek and sexy; what you need to really know though is how to effectively value each Mangusta to select the best one and to get the best deal.

  • Global Consideration - The first thing you need to know is that there’s a lot of Mangusta’s on the market worldwide and very few happen to be US Spec, meaning that it’s a vessel that often makes sense to search globally for. Other yachts will be built with US components if they will be primarily cruising US waters.

  • Mangusta Jet Drives - Jet drives allow a Mangusta to move quickly and to access shallow waters which is perfect for cruising The Bahamas but it’s critically important for you to realize that your captain needs to have a unique skill set and previous experience with jet drives to properly operate the Mangusta.

  • Mangusta Engineer - When you purchase a Mangusta, equally as important to the captain you hire needs to be an engineer; an Italian built boat, that moves fast requires heavy upkeep and I promise you, you will save more money and enjoy the boat more by paying the upfront cost of an engineer as a full time crew member.

  • Limited Mangusta Range - Depending on where your budget is, it may make sense to consider a Sunseeker 108, a Pershing 108 or AB Yachts as each of their vessels maintain similarly sleek profiles but can travel further, making them better vessels for traveling longer distances.

  • Mangusta Price - Always find out what a Mangusta sells for and ignore what it’s list price is; often times a Mangusta can be listed for well above what the owner purchased it for. While condition, maintenance and upgrades are important, a yacht is not an appreciable investment as some treat it. Find out that restricted information here.
