Design & Construction
Designed around a displacement steel hull and superstructure she features a 6.1m beam and a 3m draft. The yacht is built over 2 decks with an internal volume of 101 GT (Gross Tonnes).
The yacht was designed and constructed in compliance with the Lloyds Register technical standards.
Exterior Design
On the foredeck, guests are greeted with a Portuguese bridge and a dual anchor setup, underscoring the yacht's practical design for long voyages. The large windlass and capstan illustrate the vessel's capability to manage mooring operations with reliability. The deck also includes a unique feature: clear-view screens on the bridge's windows, a technology of the past that efficiently repels water without the need for modern wipers.
The Mongoose's side boarding entrances offer practicality for embarking and disembarking, while the side doors to the galley and pilot house reflect the thoughtfulness put into the yacht's layout for both guests and crew. The vessel's bulwarks are equipped with vents, likely for tank ventilation, further indicating the yacht's functional design considerations.
Aft, the Mongoose features a cockpit area without a swim platform, a nod to classic motor yacht design. The space is equipped with weather doors, a bar setup complete with sink and storage, and room for alfresco dining or lounging. Above, the boat deck, or flybridge, extends the available outdoor space, providing a versatile area for additional seating, storage, or tender and water toy deployment with the aid of onboard cranes.
Interior Design
Mongoose presents an interior that reflects a blend of historical charm and practicality. The materials used throughout the vessel include varnished wood, which is prevalent in areas such as the doors, window frames, and the paneling of certain communal spaces. The varnish not only preserves the wood but also adds to the authentic feel of the yacht's era.
The lighting aboard Mongoose is a combination of fixed fixtures and natural light. The portholes and large windows ensure ample daylight penetrates the interior, while the installed lighting fixtures provide necessary illumination during the evenings or in lower light conditions.
Dining areas on Mongoose are designed to be functional and accommodate guests comfortably. The main dining setup is flexible, with loose furniture that can be rearranged to suit different group sizes or occasions. The tables and chairs are crafted to match the overall wooden aesthetic of the yacht.
In the helm, the design prioritizes visibility and accessibility. The helm station retains many of its original instruments and controls, offering a glimpse into the yacht's past. The area is equipped with seating that elevates the helmsman for optimal sightlines.
Accommodation
Mongoose provides for up to six guests within the confines of three well-appointed cabins. The master cabin is separate, with its own entrance, providing an added layer of privacy. The suite is spacious and includes a queen-size bed as well as additional seating, making it an ideal place for quiet contemplation or intimate conversations.
Two additional guest cabins are designed to comfortably accommodate guests. One features a full-size bed and is versatile enough to be suitable for a couple or a small family, with additional seating that could be converted for a child's rest. The second guest cabin offers similar accommodations with a nearly queen-size bed and storage solutions. Each cabin is equipped with opening portholes, allowing for natural light and fresh air, an invaluable feature for those who appreciate the maritime atmosphere.
For the crew, Mongoose provides practical and comfortable quarters that ensure a team of three can maintain the yacht to the highest standards while also enjoying their own dedicated space.
Performance & Capabilities
Mongoose is equipped with twin diesel Caterpillar (D342) engines, each delivering 220 horsepower. This robust engineering allows the yacht to achieve a maximum speed of 11 knots. The yacht is designed for a comfortable cruising pace, maintaining an efficient speed of 10 knots. These engines are renowned for their durability and reliability, ensuring that Mongoose can navigate the seas with consistent performance.
The vessel's steel full displacement hull provides a stable and smooth experience on the water. The strength of the hull offers confidence in the yacht's ability to undertake long voyages, delivering a blend of sturdy construction and performance.
