The Mangusta 104 REV is the highest expression of the company’s timeless classic Maxi Open yachts.
While this yacht retains a strong resemblance to her predecessor, just about every inch of the boat has been revisited and restyled to obtain a completely new vessel. The first Maxi Open yacht was designed for Mangusta by the renowned Russian designer Igor Lobanov; the yacht is built in Italy and draws inspiration from German car aesthetics. Performance, as always with Mangusta, is a priority and this 30m is capable of 35 knots and a cruise of 27 knots. Running on jet drives, it also has a shallow draft, perfect for exploring shallow destinations such as the Bahamas.

Review Video
The Mangusta 104 REV, designed in collaboration with Igor Lobanov - who also designed superyacht Kaos - takes the classic Maxi Open DNA and has reimagined it. Built in Italy, it keeps the spirit of a Mangusta sports yacht intact, but nearly every detail has been reshaped, delivering a modern take on the Sport 104. Lobanov’s touch is unmistakable, drawing inspiration from German car design to give the yacht a recognisable profile.
From the outside, the lines are crisp and purposeful. The aft section may play a structural role, but it’s been carefully styled to maintain the yacht’s flowing silhouette. The curved stern, looks like a ducktail spoiler, has a dynamic edge to it, while the 30 sqm (320 ft²) flybridge also extends the outdoor living space. True to Mangusta’s ethos, the 104 REV has a flexible interior layout, allowing owners to position rooms/cabins where they want them. Below deck, there’s room for up to four staterooms, comfortably sleeping 10 guests.
The interior itself is clean, crisp, and effortlessly sophisticated. The neutral palette keeps things understated, but there are plenty of bold design details - marble tabletops, copper light fixtures cascading from the ceiling, and a mix of rich wood tones contrasting against lighter surfaces. The bathrooms stand out in particular, with backlit mirrors, polished marble surfaces, and deep sink units, adding a real sense of indulgence.
One of the most interesting features is the rounded glass panel at the far end of the saloon, which, at the push of a button, switches from opaque to transparent. This is not new, but the way it's been used on the 104 is unique as it opens up a sightline for the helm station ahead through the saloon to the aft deck. This circular shape is mirrored by the skylight above, and is a familiar motif throughout - letting soft natural light filter down from above.
The engineering is just as polished. Pop-up cleats, seamlessly integrated glasswork, and thickly padded cabin doors keep everything practical while also improving sound insulation. The 104 REV may retain the timeless Mangusta Maxi Open aesthetic, but beneath the surface, it’s an entirely new yacht.
The interior, also designed by Igor Lobanov, is crisp, clean, and very cool. There's mainly a neutral palette, but there are bursts of colour - like the marbled tabletop and copper light fixtures that seem to drip from the ceiling. It’s also interesting to find a formal dining setup on a yacht of this style. You might not expect it, but it's nice to have somewhere to eat indoors, especially with its easy connection to the crew area and galley, just through the door.
Further in, the main lounging area is a bright, inviting space. A large sofa stretches out to port, framed by huge windows on either side that let in loads of natural light. To starboard, a massive TV is neatly concealed within the cabinetry, dropping down out of sight when turned off. The openness is enhanced even further by a huge skylight above, which pours daylight into the space. Mentioning windows, there’s another clever feature on the forward saloon bulkhead - one with a little trick up its sleeve…
There are four cabins in total and the lower deck is accessed via a beautifully designed staircase, which allows just a glimpse of the windscreen above, letting in some natural light. But even without that, it’s impressively bright down here. The lighting design plays a big role - strip lights along the passageway and underfloor lighting create a warm, inviting atmosphere and make the space feel easy to move through.
Owner's Cabin
The owner's cabin is something special. There’s loads of floor space, a proper king-size bed, and still plenty of room to move around. The warm wood finishes give a rich contrast to the lighter tones and textures above. A huge TV sits opposite the bed, and off to one side, there’s a walk-in wardrobe that’s impressively big. On the other side, a bureau sits beneath the hull window to sit and get ready on. There’s a real sense of attention to detail here - separate bedside tables with storage, sockets and lighting controls within easy reach, everything placed exactly where you’d want it. Functional, stylish, beautifully done.
And there’s the bathroom, which, despite sharing the beam with the walk-in wardrobe, still feels spacious. The marble sink unit is the centrepiece, with taps that are beautifully designed. There's a backlit circular mirror, more marble detailing on the walls, and a huge separate shower cubicle with both a rain head and a wand, giving you the full spa-like experience.
VIP Cabin
The VIP cabin is a real standout, reminding you just how much space this yacht offers. Often, in this part of the boat, the bed needs to be raised to accommodate the tapering hull - but not on the 104. The bed sits nice and low, full-sized with plenty of room on either side. There’s no compromise on storage either, with large bedside tables, deep storage units, and lighting repeaters for added convenience. The cabin also has its own completely private, generously sized bathroom.
Guest Accommodation
The double guest cabin is a well-proportioned space with good headroom and a wave-like headlining that joins the bed’s headboard. Hull windows bring in natural light, and electric blinds allow you to adjust the lighting from the comfort of the bed. This cabin also connects to the day head, offering the first look at the yacht’s bathroom finishes - a lovely mix of marble, large mirrors, and a separate shower cubicle.
Opposite the double, there's a twin cabin. There’s plenty of room to walk between the beds, with storage behind the bathroom door, while the TV is positioned behind the cabin door. Unlike the double, this cabin has a fully private ensuite, again with a separate shower cubicle.
Crew Accommodation
The crew quarters have two bunk cabins, giving space for up to four crew members. These cabins are on either side of a central mess area, where there’s a TV screen for downtime, along with monitors for boat systems, cameras, and tank levels, ensuring the crew can keep an eye on everything without leaving their space.
Opposite the mess area is the surprisingly spacious galley. Cooling storage is positioned overhead, while the induction hob, extraction system, and oven are neatly arranged for efficiency. There’s also plenty of countertop space, making food prep straightforward, and a Miele professional dishwasher tucked below. This area also has direct access to the engine room, just through the adjoining door - keeping everything within easy reach for the crew.
Upper Helm
The driving experience is a huge part of what the 104 REV is all about. With jet drives, all that raw power in the engine room is controlled by two tiny throttles. There’s 2,600hp sitting behind each one, yet the response is so precise and delicate - despite the sheer force they can unleash.
One of the big advantages of jet drives, aside from the shallower draft, is joystick control. Docking and low-speed manoeuvres should be very intuitive - twist the joystick, push it in the direction you want to go, and the yacht follows. And if you need a little extra shove, there’s a bow thruster on hand to help.
Then there’s the performance, which is impressive. This is a 30m (98.4ft) yacht, but it’ll hit 35 knots flat out. More impressively, at 27 knots, it’ll cover 370nm - a good range at serious speed for something so large. And the helm station itself is clean and sleek. It’s almost like a mouth opening up to reveal the triple-screen setup, with engine data, TimeZero software, and all the essential information laid out simply. Pared-back and just as sharp as the rest of the boat.
Lower Helm
The helm of the 104 REV has a three-seat layout so whether you’re the owner, a guest, or the captain, you’ll want to be up here for the ride. This is a proper rocket ship.
Stretching out in front is an impressive dashboard. The central Böning screen is super wide, displaying engine data, navigation, and tank levels, all fully configurable. Flanking it are more screens, including cameras, night vision, TimeZero navigation, and weather data - everything that's needed, presented in a clean, pared-back layout.
Lower down, the repeat controls mirror what’s up on the flybridge, including the compact throttles and joystick. A nice detail - the joystick is branded with the boat’s name, a small but thoughtful touch. The bow thruster sits neatly by the skipper’s knee. And at 30 knots, this view and this setup is going to feel pretty special.
The transom is a substantial bit of structure, but they’ve put real effort into making it an attractive part of the boat rather than just a functional one. The way it flows into the overall design is well done, and this curved section has a bit of a ducktail spoiler look to it - sleek, sculpted, and giving the stern a distinctive character. The clamshell mechanism is beautifully executed too, and beneath it, you’ve got the tender garage large enough to house a Williams 505 DieselJet.
Keeping the tender stowed away like this means the deck stays completely free, preserving its sharp lines when the boat’s powering along. The passerelle is also a good size and folds right back into the step, disappearing completely when not in use. It’s all been designed to be as seamless as possible, keeping the aesthetic sharp without sacrificing function.
The cockpit is the main dining area so there’s a servery station just inside the door with a sink for the crew. The dining table is centrally positioned for a good balance between being out in the open and sheltered. It also connects neatly to the lounging area, so once dinner is done, you can move across and relax. The split table design enables guests to move in and out freely while also giving the crew space to serve without obstruction.
Overhead, you’ve got flexible shade options. The support poles extend, and the canopy folds away, so you can fully open the space or keep some shade up for protection on hotter days.
Side Decks & Foredeck
The tall guard rail along the side deck is reassuring, but what’s even better is the additional handrail running almost the entire length of the deck - a solid, extra point of contact.
The glasswork is a real highlight. The way it curves out creates some very striking shapes, contributing to the boat’s profile. Side doors on both sides allow direct access to the bridge from either deck, making slow-speed manoeuvring much easier.
Further along, the pop-up cleats are beautifully finished, adding to the sense of quality throughout. This space is nicely laid out, split between lounging and sunbathing areas, with subtle lighting snaking under the cushions. At night, the effect should be stunning. The deck lighting continues with foot-level LEDs and a set positioned slightly higher, both designed to enhance the look of the boat when underway after dark.
Like in the cockpit, there’s coverage that can be brought down when needed, but this area is very exposed. On a warm day, a bit of shade will make all the difference.
Sportsbridge
The staircase is actually really easy to navigate up - sportbridge boats often have steep steps. Plus, there are handholds everywhere, so it feels safe and secure without losing any of the yacht’s sleek, stylish feel. The stainless steel work is also beautifully done.
When you think of a sportsbridge, you don’t expect a huge amount of living space, but the Mangusta 104 REV isn't bad at all. It can be set up in full sunbathing mode, but the cushions can be put away, and there are a pair of hidden tables underneath. Raise those up, and suddenly, you’ve got a dining or drinks area. To make things even more practical, the crew have a hot plate just below, complete with a grill and cooling space, so serving guests up here is easy if you want to make the most of it.
In the engine room, there’s 5,200hp split across two MTU engines. Huge, beautifully engineered, and a real showcase of engineering.
Right in the middle sits the stainless steel watermaker, positioned for easy access. Despite how much equipment there is packed in here, getting to the ancillaries is still straightforward. Generators are positioned on either side, and the Seakeeper is beneath the tender garage. It’ll do its job keeping roll to a minimum at anchor, though naturally, it’s less effective when underway.
There is some space taken up by the tender garage, but it’s not too intrusive. The key areas - the space where engineers will spend most of their time - have clear access to the engines, controls, and screens. Moving around is relatively easy, and there’s another access point leading straight onto deck, along with a direct route into the crew area.
Our Verdict
The main helm has to be one of the best features of the Mangusta 104 REV. It’s dramatic, packed with tech, and has a clean, modern feel. But it’s not just about what it looks like; the engineering is just as impressive. There’s a performance focus, with the ability to cover huge distances at high speed, making this more than just a luxury cruiser. It looks the part, but it’s also built to deliver. And when it comes to 30m (98.4ft) sportsbridges, you’d struggle to find one that looks better than this.

Rivals to Consider
The Mangusta 104 REV faces stiff competition from the Riva 102' Corsaro Super, which could be a better bet for those wanting to accommodate a larger group of guests overnight. Both yachts sleep up to 10 guests, but the Riva manages this with five cabins instead of four, offering more flexibility for families and groups. The Corsaro Super features Riva signature detailing and a sleek exterior that enhances its presence on the water. However, the Mangusta 104 REV does provide a full-beam owner cabin, which is a real treat for the owner, complete with an ensuite bathroom, dressing room, and fabulous views through hull-side windows.
For those who prioritise performance, the Pershing 108 edges out the Mangusta 104 REV in its wake. With a top speed of 42 knots and cruising at 37 knots, the Pershing is the choice for speed enthusiasts. The 108 also has an aft tender launching system where the platform lowers to create a slipway on rollers. The Mangusta 104 REV, on the other hand, cruises at a more leisurely 30 knots.
Turning to the Numarine 105 Hardtop, this yacht impresses with its extensive range of 500 nautical miles, perfect for those eyeing long voyages. Its shallow draft allows it to access waters that are off-limits to deeper vessels, adding an extra layer of versatility. The Numarine 105 has been designed to offer significant weight efficiency and advanced soundproofing, ensuring a quiet and peaceful cruise.
The Mangusta 110 also stands out with its impressive gross tonnage of 195GT, the largest amongst its rivals. This offers more usable space and a sense of grandeur that the Mangusta 104 REV, with its slightly smaller scale, doesn't quite match. The 110 also has an advanced stabilisation system, which enhances comfort by minimising roll.
