Mangusta 130

Mangusta 130 carries the low, sweeping lines the yard is known for, scaled up here to a 40-metre platform with five cabins for up to 11 guests. The deck spaces read open rather than boxed in, giving a small group room to spread out without feeling split across separate corners of the boat.

From Puerto Banús, a run west toward Estepona's quieter beaches suits this yacht well: enough length to hold a steady line past the open coastline, enough manoeuvrability to sit close in near Punta de la Chullera for a swim stop before heading back. A full day out or a shorter afternoon loop both fit comfortably within what the boat and that stretch of coast can offer.

Charter groups here tend to be smaller and specific — a couple marking an anniversary, a corporate host bringing a handful of clients for lunch on the water, a family who would rather have one boat than two. Because guest numbers, fuel use and the day-rate structure shift with season and route, we talk through realistic APA guidance before confirming dates, so there is no gap between what is quoted and what is actually spent.
