Velocity

A yacht's history often shows up in the paperwork rather than the spec sheet. Velocity, a Mangusta GranSport 54, was delivered in 2020, and in 2026 she went through a refit that adds to that record rather than starting a new one. At 54 metres and 497 gross tons, she carries enough scale to give that history somewhere to sit.

Build and provenance

Mangusta built her with an all-aluminium hull and superstructure, a material suited to a long, fast hull rather than one built purely for weight at anchor. Her profile was designed by Alberto Mancini. The 2026 work is recorded as completed, not as a project still underway, which for a buyer means a survey should read current rather than aspirational.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests are accommodated across six cabins, with a crew of eleven to run the boat around them, close to one crew member per guest and the kind of ratio that keeps the pace unhurried at a full table. The owner's cabin runs full beam, with its own fold-down balcony, set apart from the guest cabins rather than among them.

Performance and engineering

She cruises at 14 knots and reaches 20 knots at full throttle, speeds that suit a boat built to cover distance rather than sit close to a marina. A tender garage opens from the foredeck, and twin fold-out mooring balconies extend from her sides, both practical for a yacht that spends as much time at anchor as under way.

Where she lies and how to see her

Velocity lies in Mallorca, Spain, and that is where any first look at her begins. We set up viewings and are there for each one, and once an offer is accepted, the next steps are a survey and then a sea trial before anything is signed off. She also sails in our charter fleet, so a buyer who wants a week aboard before deciding can book that through her charter listing rather than committing unseen.
