Veni Vidi Vici

A Mangusta open of thirty-nine metres six, delivered in 2026. The open type is the point: a low profile, a fast planing hull and a deck plan that puts everything at one level rather than stacking it, which is why a yacht like this looks the way it does from a distance.

On an open the passage is the entertainment. Most motor yachts are places you sit while the crew move you between anchorages; this one is arranged so that the moving is the part of the day people come up on deck for, and the anchorage is where it stops.

Twelve guests across five cabins. The numbers do not divide into pairs, so she suits a group comfortable with sharing rather than six couples each expecting a door of their own. Two families travelling together fit her considerably better than twelve people meeting on the quay.

Six crew for twelve guests. It is a working complement rather than a lavish one, and it is honest to say so: this is a yacht built around performance and deck life, not around the near one-to-one service of a displacement boat twenty metres longer.

Being a 2026 delivery, everything aboard is in its first season. On a fast hull that matters more than it does elsewhere: engines, systems and running gear are new, and on a yacht that spends its time at planing speed that is a meaningful difference.

The low profile has a practical consequence people rarely mention. There is less superstructure to catch the wind at anchor and less of the yacht above the waterline, which makes for a boat that lies quietly overnight and does not sail around its own anchor in a breeze.

She works across the Mediterranean, and speed is what makes that meaningful. A planing yacht treats the basin as one cruising ground: an itinerary that would be four separate holidays on a slow hull becomes a single fortnight on this one.

Take her if the group wants the yacht to be part of the day rather than the transport between parts of it. If the plan is to anchor once and stay, there are more comfortable choices here, and none of them will make the crossings memorable.
