C2

On C2, everything starts with the engines. This Mangusta GranSport 33, delivered by Overmarine in 2022, cruises at around 21 knots and tops out at 25, driven by four Volvo Penta engines of 1,000 hp each on pod drives. In the Balearics that changes the shape of a week: Ibiza to Formentera becomes a short hop before lunch, and Mallorca or Menorca are within reach without giving up a whole day to the passage. Twelve hulls have been built to this design, and this one holds a full licence to work in Spanish waters.

Inside, Alberto Mancini wrapped the main saloon in glass from deck to ceiling, with wide doors on three sides, so the lounge and dining area feel almost like part of the deck while staying air-conditioned. The owner’s suite is forward on the same deck, full width, with a sofa, a desk, separate his-and-hers bathrooms and windows on both sides.

Outside, the social spaces are spread out. The foredeck has a large sunpad, a lounge and a Jacuzzi dip pool, with an awning for midday. The hardtop shades the top deck, which has its own lounge, a table for meals outside and a bar; the cockpit at the stern of the main deck is a third place to gather. At the stern, the beach club opens with hydraulic steps down to the water, where the eFoils, Seabobs, Waverunner and paddleboards are launched.

Speed has a cost. At cruising pace she burns about 550 litres an hour, and fuel is charged on top of the charter fee, so a week of long fast runs adds up. She is also a sports yacht in feel, not a classic with a formal dining room. She suits a lively group of friends who want a different island every day, and in winter she is listed for the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands.
