The Mangusta Oceano 44-meter debuted at the 2024 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. This isn't your typical Mangusta; it's a departure from their usual powerful and sexy sports cruiser style.
Designed by Alberto Mancini, this yacht has a sturdy steel hull and an impressive cruising range of 4,500 nautical miles. On board, you'll find two massive hot tubs, along with an epic beach club. Mangusta's latest model proves they're not just about speed and sleek lines; they're stepping into new territory with a yacht that promises volume, luxury, and long voyages.

Review Video
The Mangusta Oceano 44 marks a departure from the brand's signature sporty, low-rise yachts like the Gransport or Maxi Open. With a more classic superyacht profile, it combines elegance and grit as a "sea loft" made from steel and aluminium. Designed by Alberto Mancini alongside the Group's Engineering Department, the yacht draws inspiration from US penthouses and lofts with wide terraces and unbroken glasswork. The aim was for it to be an ultramodern villa, offering sweeping infinity views across its indoor and outdoor spaces.
Inside, the master stateroom on the main deck fills the brief with loads of windows - one window becomes a unique fold-down balcony, while the lower deck hosts four spacious guest cabins. The beach club aft is another standout feature, with fold-down balconies overhanging the sea with access from three sides.
There's a great flow to navigating your way around. Double staircases lead up to the sundeck, which is an unusual feature on a yacht of this size, especially as they are discreetly integrated into the side decks on the bridge deck, not gobbling up living space aft. A side door leading to a gangway outside the owner's cabin allows almost direct access from the cabin to the quayside, which again isn't something you'd usually expect to find on a yacht of this size.
Designed and built in Italian marble country, the Oceano 44 has interiors clad with wonderful cloudy, blue, and grey-hued marbles, all beautifully lit - Alberto Mancini loves marble and you can see it here.
The main deck saloon is a beautifully designed space, perfect for relaxation and entertaining. Amidships, there's a huge 12-person dining table with black marble in the centre. Above, the underlit lighting detail on the glossy ceiling is really nice, with a centre feature being a huge panel of cloudy grey marble on the far wall.
Serving the dining area, a sliding door leads to the galley, which is a crew space with a pantry and a well-equipped kitchen area.
Further aft, the saloon melds into a great living area. A central island houses a two-way television that pops up when needed, and you can watch it from the comfortable sofas on either side. Floor-to-ceiling windows give great views and a sense of openness. The connection to the outside is a primary focus of this yacht's design.
Upper Saloon
The upper saloon’s electric doors open onto the bridge deck aft, bringing the outside in and creating an even better sense of space. That's not all: there are also manual sliding doors on both sides. You can open these fully and pin them back, inviting in a lovely breeze for some natural ventilation, especially on cooler days. The glass surrounding this area provides an unbroken view of the sea, making the saloon a lovely space with fabulous elevated views.
It has a bright colour palette, helped by backlit marble and blue panelling on the uprights. Hidden storage for glassware keeps things tidy, while a big television offers a spot to relax and watch a film with a drink in hand. This space is flexible and you can open it up in a way that's quite unusual for a yacht of this size, allowing for both intimate gatherings and more expansive entertaining. It's not something you see all the time in this sector.
Owner's Cabin
As soon as you step inside, you’ll spot an impressive amount of storage, including a walk-in wardrobe and plenty of nicely organised clothes storage. The cabin has a completely flat floor and generous headroom, which make for an open and airy feel. The large bed appears small such is the amount of floor space and the detailing is exquisite, with clever lighting accents and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The bathroom is a real statement. Blue marble can be seen through large glass doors, featuring separate sinks and toilets, and an enormous centrepiece shower with a full-width bench. As soon as you walk into the cabin your attention is drawn to this wonderful centrepiece.
There's one final treat in the owner's stateroom — the private balcony that drops down from the hull side at the touch of a button. The clever thing about this feature is that it doesn't require the crew to open and close it, just hit a button and it drops down to create a terrace - even the railings pop up on their own. It's a great system that adds a serious touch of luxury to an already very impressive cabin.
Guest Cabins
The lower deck has a four-cabin arrangement, with two doubles aft and two twins forward. The doubles are a nice size and have a bright, playful colour scheme that feels a bit different and interesting. Wardrobes are cleverly designed, providing plenty of space for guests to store their clothes. Bathrooms here continue to be decked out in beautiful marble, just like the owner's cabin. They offer plenty of space and features with large, separate showers & big rain shower heads.
Forward to the twin cabins - which are identical - they include pullman berths, which drop down from the walls, giving extra berths, great for charter operations. Every cabin is equipped with an iPad-controlled AV setup, allowing guests to manage lighting, climate control, TV, and audio.
The detailing in these cabins is great, especially the marble-topped bedside tables, bendy reading lights, and storage. Each twin comes with a private bathroom, featuring the same high-quality finish and headroom found throughout. The hull windows could be bigger but still allow natural light in, and help with the overall look of the space.
Crew Accommodation
The crew quarters are a well-designed space that provides the crew with everything they need. The mess area has a seating arrangement around a nice big table, with a mounted TV. There are essential amenities such as a sink, cooling space, dishwasher, and microwave.
The crew members can monitor and control systems efficiently from down here. A dedicated screen displays the ship's status, and CCTV from across the boat.
The captain has a private cabin located on the bridge, so they can respond swiftly to any issues and maintain oversight.
Unlike many bridges that look rather uniform, the Oceano 44's has its own genuine character. Think Benetti Oasis 40 metre, with its floor-to-ceiling windows offering remarkable views across the bow. The screens, four in total, provide a comprehensive mix of data - live weather data, Timezero navigation, and digital switching for the boat's systems.
There's a dinky wheel here, hinting it might not be used much, as the rudder control, twin throttles, and thrusters should see the most use. For slow-speed manoeuvres, the wing stations outside are the go-to spot. Powered by a pair of 2,600hp MTUs, this yacht will get to a top speed of around 15 knots. More impressively, at 11.5 knots, she covers 4,000 nautical miles - a very healthy range.
Just outside there's a crew lobby with access to the quarters, a small pantry equipped with a coffee machine, and an office space for any crew paperwork. A sliding door leads to the side deck, ensuring the bridge crew can get in and out quickly.
Sun Deck
If you're on any sun deck, there's got to be a hot tub - though this isn't the only one aboard the Oceano 44. The bar area includes a grill, a sink, and bar stools lining both sides which make it more of a social space than you usually find with these sun deck wet bars.
Nearby, a pop-up television is installed in the counter, positioned for viewing from the lovely round table beneath the hard top. This hard top itself is inset with timber and skylights, so the space below is protected by not denied natural light. At the very aft, the space is purely dedicated to sunbathing, although there's an option for shade if the sun gets too intense.
Bridge Deck
The bridge deck forward is an innovative space and home to one of the Oceano's best features. Ahead of the bridge, the area known as "the island" is a twist on the usual yacht hot tub. This one has a moat-like design surrounding the sun pads that appear to float in the middle of the tub. If you're not in the mood to get your feet wet; a bridge allows you to get across to the sun pads. Keep moving forward and you'll find the infinity tub itself, giving unobstructed views over the bow. This clever use of space completely changes the foredeck into a social hub where guests will definitely want to spend time lounging and soaking up the atmosphere.
On the bridge deck aft, interestingly, there's no dining table - outdoor dining takes place on the sun deck. Instead, this space is used as a flexible lounging area. Free-standing furniture can be easily rearranged to suit whatever you are doing. There are some fixed sun pads, which are both stylish and comfortable. The frameless glass balustrades surrounding the space are almost invisible and offer excellent physical protection without disturbing the view out over the water. All the more important considering the way the bridge saloon can be opened up to the elements on three sides.
Cockpit & Beachclub
The Oceano 44's cockpit has a lot of room as the staircases are down on the side decks. You’ll find a nice mix of furniture, with lovely curved sofas facing another sofa on the transom, and movable coffee tables. The overhang isn’t huge, but there are canopies for extra shelter when needed. Beneath this area, there's clear glazing, which gives a hint of what's below in the beach club.
Both sides of the cockpit lead you down to the aft area, where the transom door can drop to create an extended platform. The beach club itself is a really good space, offering over 6ft of headroom. It’s not a dark cave though as natural light enters through those glass panels in the cockpit above, and the teak side panels drop down to become two side balconies.
It's very open and it’s well-equipped with a couple of seats for taking the weight off in the shade, a day head, and a really nice bar.
Accessed through a door on the port side deck, descend a ladder and you find yourself in an impressively spacious engine room. The big MTU engines look a bit lost in such an enormous space. This setup is a rarity for a 45-metre yacht as it includes an engineer's control room and workbench. Here, you'll find all the controls needed for the systems, along with cameras to keep an eye on the deck and screens with tankages, etc.
It's all very robust, high-quality engineering, from the strainers to the fuel filters and neatly labelled pipework, making it easy to check everything's in order.
In addition to one generator, there's another in the corner, accompanied by a secondary access point for convenient entry and exit on either side of the engine room. CMC fins provide stabilisation, working both when the yacht is stationary and on the move.
Our Verdict
Mangusta made a bold move with the Oceano line by stepping away from their usual big, flashy sports cruisers, and I think they've succeeded in delivering something very unique. The yacht has an increased volume and increased features. The cabins are lovely, there are two hot tubs, expanding balconies, and a beach club, and it can keep you out at sea for 4,500 nautical miles. The Oceano 44 is dripping with Italian cool, but it's got the cruising pedigree as well.

Rivals to Consider
Starting with the Azimut Grande 44M, it’s a yacht that’s all about maximising guest capacity. Both yachts can host up to 12 guests overnight, but the Azimut achieves this with an extra cabin, offering six in total. The Azimut’s Sea View Terrace and see-through pool also achieve a good connection with the ocean. However, the Mangusta counters with a lavish full-beam owner cabin, pullman berths in the twin cabins, two hot tubs and lots of uninterrupted glass.
There's the Dynamiq G 450, which provides a five-cabin layout for up to 10 guests. While it doesn't quite match the Oceano 44 in guest capacity, the Dynamiq has a good level of comfort for family or group holidays. Unlike the Mangusta’s two infinity pools and expansive beach club, the Dynamiq focuses more on interior luxury with a gym and wellness area.
The Benetti Class 44M has a cruising speed of 11 knots, and though it might not match the Mangusta’s performance, it still offers a smooth ride that could be a better bet for those who enjoy the journey as much as the destination. Its shallow draft allows it to navigate more secluded waters, which is quite incredible for exploring hidden gems. The yacht offers five spacious cabins for up to 12 guests, similar to the Mangusta’s capacity.
Finally, the Benetti Motopanfilo 45M offers an impressive range of 4,100 nautical miles, closely matching the Mangusta’s range of 4,500 nautical miles, making both yachts good choices for long-distance cruising. The Motopanfilo can accommodate 12 guests across six cabins, offering an additional cabin compared to the Mangusta. The interior is very retro 1960s as well, while the Oceano 44 is more modern contemporary.
