Mangusta 92 Review (2005 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The Mangusta 92 features a sleek and striking design with a strong presence. The yacht's exterior sports teak-laid decks that lead guests from the stern to the bow.

Aft, there is a jet ski and a compact tender garage integrated into the design, along with a passerelle for elegant stern boarding and to facilitate lifting the jet ski. The exterior also accommodates a sunbathing area, and on the foredeck, additional sun pads are accompanied by a small bimini for shade—this setup is intended for use while the yacht is stationary due to its positioning in front of the windscreen.

The saloon area showcases luxurious interior finishings with deep, comfortable seating and a dedicated bar area. Natural light and fresh air can fill the space through a large retractable section, merging indoor comfort with the outdoor environment. The yacht's interior is noted for its beautiful woodwork, particularly visible in the VIP guest cabin and the master cabin. The attention to detail and quality of materials emphasize the yacht's luxuriousness.

Described by Nick as "the business end," the helm boasts a serious and professional appearance. It is equipped with comprehensive navigation screens, radar, and the yacht’s throttles. The helm's design is in line with the yacht's overall performance-oriented demeanor.

Owner's Cabin

The master cabin, located aft on the lower deck, takes advantage of the yacht's full beam. It features exquisite woodwork, a spacious walk-in closet with a safe, a dressing table, and the boat's largest ensuite bathroom. The cabin's size and amenities underscore the yacht's premium status.

Guest Accommodation

The guest accommodations comprise a VIP cabin at the bow with an ensuite bathroom, including a shower. There are two additional guest cabins, each with their own ensuite, and one can be linked to the day heads to serve as an ensuite at night, providing flexible arrangements for guests.

Crew Accommodation

The crew area, accessed through the saloon, contains laundry facilities, a well-equipped galley with ample cold storage, and a mess area. The two crew cabins each have twin beds and private ensuites, ensuring comfort and privacy for the crew members.

Below deck, the engine room is home to a pair of MTU 16V2000 M91 engines, delivering 2,000 horsepower each. These engines enable the Mangusta 92 to reach speeds just shy of 30 knots, with a cruising speed of around 23 knots. The range is approximately 300 nautical miles, reflecting the yacht's performance focus. The engine room is spacious and very accessible, with a full-size door leading to the crew quarters and a ladder to the cockpit.

Nick is clearly impressed by the Mangusta 92's combination of style, luxury, and performance. The yacht’s distinctive design, both inside and out, along with its powerful engines and thoughtful layout, make it stand out in the marina. The exterior amenities cater to leisure and entertainment, while the interior offers comfort and elegance.

The yacht's engineering, specifically the engine power and functionality, garners Nick's praise, underscoring the yacht’s status as a high-performance vessel with the luxury to match.
