Mangusta Gransport 54

A 29-knot top speed and a 3,800-nautical-mile range are numbers that pull in different directions, and the Mangusta GranSport 54 is built to hold both. Mangusta is building her now for delivery in 2029, a 54-metre sport motor yacht with an aluminium hull and four engines sized to match her styling.

Build and provenance

Her exterior lines are the work of Alberto Mancini, developed with naval architecture from PierLuigi Ausonio, and Mangusta builds her hull in aluminium rather than composite, a construction choice suited to a fast yacht at this length. She remains in build, with delivery due in 2029.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests are accommodated across five cabins aboard the Mangusta GranSport 54, a layout built on a hull shaped for speed rather than for volume.

Performance and engineering

Four MTU 16V2000 M96L engines, each rated at 2,600 hp, drive her to a 20-knot cruise and a 29-knot top speed. At 12 knots she can cover 3,800 nautical miles, range enough for a genuine passage rather than a day out from a home marina. A gross tonnage of 499 on a 54-metre hull keeps her light for her length, which is what lets that engine output put her at 29 knots rather than leave her as a slower motor yacht with sporting styling alone.

Where she lies and how to see her

Her build is under way in Italy, with 2029 the year she is due to leave the yard. A visit to see her progress is arranged through Boatcrowd, who stay with a buyer through that inspection rather than handing it off. Once terms on an offer are agreed, the survey and sea trial a finished yacht needs are scheduled around her delivery date.
