Mangusta 130

Onboard the Mangusta 130

Mangusta 130 carries the low, purposeful lines the shipyard is known for: a long, sport-cruiser profile at 40 metres that reads as fast and low even at rest. Interior and deck space are arranged for movement rather than formality, with five cabins sleeping up to 11 guests across a layout that favours open sightlines over closed-off rooms.

From Port Olímpic, the run south to Sitges suits this yacht well. It is a 35-kilometre stretch that opens onto a bay more sheltered than Barcelona's own roadstead, giving guests a proper swim stop before anchoring off the town or continuing into Vilanova for lunch ashore at one of the seafront restaurants. A day built this way, out and back within five to seven hours, uses the boat's speed without rushing the guests on board.

Five cabins put a natural ceiling on numbers, which is exactly why the boat works for small family groups, a couple travelling with close friends, or a compact corporate party that wants to talk business without a crowd. Departure is from Port Olímpic, where the harbour carries steady commercial and ferry traffic; guests are briefed that entry and exit through the port are handled by the crew, not something to plan around informally.
