Making her debut at the Fort Lauderdale event, nicknamed FLIBS, the Mangusta Oceano 50 beat several other rival yachts including entries from Benetti and Heesen.
Built by Overmarine Group, the Mangusta Oceano 50 is the largest Mangusta Oceano yacht for sale and "encapsulates Mangusta Yacht's focus on design, custom-made comfort, and painstaking detail".
Equipped with two MTU 12V 2000 M86 engines, the Mangusta Oceano 50 can reach top speeds of 16 knots with a range of up to 4,500 nautical miles.
The Mangusta Oceano 50 perfectly illustrates the top-tier luxury megayachts and world-class exhibitors that make FLIBS a global boat show leader.
