Mangusta Oceano 44: Crystal Clear Cruising

Launched in July 2022, the Mangusta Oceano 44 stands out as an impressive 44.5m (146ft) tri-deck yacht that beautifully balances strength and sophistication with its steel hull and aluminum superstructure. Her design opens up the interiors to the outdoors, using wide floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors to let in plenty of natural light and provide incredible, sweeping views.

The Mangusta yacht for sale offers two infinity pools: one on the main deck, known as "The Island," and another on the sun deck. The beach club area transforms into a 180-degree open space when the transom and side terraces are unfolded, providing direct access to the sea.
