Mangusta 108

Onboard the Mangusta 108

The Mangusta 108 reads as a sport-yacht first and a superyacht second: a 33-metre hull with the low, planing lines Mangusta is known for, capable of cruising at around 35 knots when the day calls for distance rather than drifting. Below deck, four cabins sleep up to 12 guests, giving the layout enough separation for a family group or a small corporate party without anyone feeling stacked on top of each other. On deck, the character shifts — this is a yacht built to be used, not just admired at anchor.

That speed changes what a day out of Saint-Tropez looks like. Instead of a slow crawl across the Gulf, the Mangusta 108 can close the distance to Pampelonne or push toward Cap Taillat in a fraction of the time a displacement hull would need, leaving more of the afternoon for actually being on the water. Once stopped, the swim platform puts guests at sea level for getting in and out easily, the bow lounge gives a second, quieter sun area away from the aft deck, and the al fresco dining space aft turns a simple lunch stop into an unhurried one, with views back toward the coast rather than a marina wall.

It suits guests who want the presence of a superyacht without the slower pace that often comes with one — couples booking a day on the water, small groups who want private space without a large crew footprint, or a corporate host looking to bring clients out for a few relaxed hours rather than a full-scale event. With four cabins and a 12-guest capacity, it's worth confirming numbers against the itinerary before booking, particularly if an overnight or multi-day route out of Saint-Tropez is being considered rather than a single afternoon.
