Mangusta GranSport 33 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 33 has won 1 award, most recently for "Motor Yacht (25-40m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 33 delivers speeds of up to 26 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Mangusta 33 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Extra Yachts X115 and Gulf Craft Majesty 111 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 12 guests in 6 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 33 benefits from a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a study and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Pershing 108 and Mangusta 110 are tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 8 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Mangusta 33 delivers a steady 23 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Pershing 108 with an impressive cruising speed of 37 knots or the Sanlorenzo SP110 with a respectable cruising speed of 36 knots. The Mangusta 33 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Custom Line 33, with the slowest cruising speed of 13 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Azimut 35 Metri impresses with its extensive range of 2,022 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sanlorenzo SP110, Maiora 35 Exuma and Maiora 30 Walkaround all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Pershing 108 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 42 knots and cruising speed of 37 knots. The Maiora 35 Exuma has an impressive gross tonnage of 299GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Mangusta GranSport 33 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
