Mangusta GranSport 33 Review (2020 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The Mangusta GranSport 33 boasts sleek lines and Italian craftsmanship. On the exterior, Nick highlights the large picture windows which enhance the visual connection to the sea.

The foredeck features a jacuzzi, ample sunbathing space, and a social area with seating for a group, while the carbon fiber Bimini poles provide optional shade. The aft deck offers a dining area and an expansive seating space.

The yacht also includes an innovative retractable bathing platform that extends to create a large beach club area when at anchor.

Inside, the yacht's interior is marked by a modern, minimalist aesthetic with a warm ambiance, accented by pale wood finishes and light tones. Nick appreciates the big windows that flood the space with natural light, creating a sense of openness.

The main saloon features comfortable seating and a dining area, while the day heads are beautifully finished. Technology is seamlessly integrated throughout the interior including on the bridge, with iPad-controlled systems for lighting, blinds, and entertainment.

This GranSport features an enclosed flybridge with an upper helm area and relaxed seating.

The owner's cabin is exceptionally spacious for a yacht of this size. It includes an iPad-controlled environment, a retractable TV, and a large bed. The cabin's en-suite bathroom features a unique central shower area with smart glass that can become opaque or clear, offering privacy or openness as desired. The dressing area and abundant use of pale wood enhance the feeling of luxury and space.

Guest accommodations on the lower deck include two cabins with double beds and two cabins with twin beds that can be converted to a double, with Pullman bunks for additional sleeping space.  The en-suite bathrooms are light and bright, maintaining the yacht's high standard of luxury. Guest amenities also include a washer and dryer for convenience.

The crew quarters are functional and well-appointed, with en-suite cabins that offer privacy and comfort for the crew. The mess area and dedicated laundry facilities ensure the crew can maintain the yacht's operations without intruding on guest spaces. The captain's cabin includes its own en-suite, and the central monitoring systems enable the crew to manage the yacht's security and navigation effectively.

Nick is impressed by the yacht's performance capabilities, made possible by four Volvo Penta D13 engines, each providing 1,000 horsepower, linked to IPS pods. This setup allows for a top speed of 25 knots, and the IPS joystick offers precise maneuvering. The yacht's innovative engineering enables impressive power while maintaining efficiency for longer ranges at reduced speeds.

Nick concludes the tour of the Mangusta GranSport 33 with an overall sense of admiration. He is smitten by the yacht's blend of Italian style, luxurious amenities, and innovative technology. The attention to detail in both design and functionality leaves a lasting impression. The yacht's performance, coupled with its thoughtful layout and craftsmanship, thoroughly impresses Nick, marking the Mangusta GranSport 33 as a paragon of modern yachting excellence.
