Mangusta 130

Onboard the Mangusta 130

The Mangusta 130 measures 40 metres and carries up to 11 guests across five cabins, a ratio that leaves room to spread out rather than fill every berth. Life aboard runs along the open, low-slung lines typical of the Mangusta yard, with deck space organised around easy movement between saloon, cockpit and swim platform rather than a maze of separate zones. For a charter party that wants a full-size yacht without feeling processed through a hotel-style layout, the five-cabin arrangement gives couples, families and small groups their own private corner while still sharing the same deck and dining spaces at meal times.

Based out of Mallorca, the Mangusta 130 suits charters that run longer than an afternoon on the water. A multi-day plan built around Puerto Portals as a starting point — with provisioning arranged before departure rather than assembled at the dock — lets the itinerary settle into a rhythm: a run down to the east coast calas one day, an overnight further along the coast the next, with the galley and tender kept stocked between stops. At 40 metres the yacht has the range and cabin count to support several consecutive nights aboard, which shorter day-charter vessels in the same waters cannot offer.

This is a yacht for guests who want space and privacy over a specific list of extras: a corporate host planning a multi-night stay for a small executive group, a family taking five cabins for a week along the Mallorcan coast, or a couple extending a short cruise into a longer one. Because a vessel of this size and cabin configuration benefits from itinerary planning ahead of time — permits, provisioning runs, marina bookings — arranging the charter with lead time gives the crew room to prepare the boat and the route properly rather than compressing everything into the days immediately before departure.
