SHAPING THE FUTURE OF YACHTING SINCE 1985
A story of vision and continuity
Founded in 1985 by the Balducci family, Mangusta was born with a clear vision: to combine Italian craftsmanship and a drive for innovation to bring the dreams of yacht owners around the world to life through unique vessels.
With roots dating back to the 1950s, the shipyard has evolved from sporty composite yachts to steel and aluminium lines designed for long-range cruising.
From one generation to the next, leadership has remained firmly in the hands of the family—now in its third generation—ensuring continuity, loyalty to the founding values, and a pioneering spirit.
More than 300 yachts delivered are a testament to a growth journey that has made Mangusta an international benchmark in the luxury yacht industry.
Today, the company employs nearly 200 people directly and continues to chart new paths of evolution, backed by a strong identity and the stability of a family-owned business.
40th ANNIVERSARY
Mangusta celebrates 40 years of innovation, design and engineering excellence: a key milestone in a continually evolving story.
BUILDING NEW HORIZONS
Two new projects take shape to define the future of Mangusta: the Mangusta Oceano 52 and the Mangusta GranSport 34. Currently under construction, these models represent the natural evolution of their respective displacement and fast-displacement lines, with a focus on innovation, versatility and customisation. A journey that confirms Mangusta’s “dream shaping” philosophy: to turn every idea into a tangible project, tailored to the desires of those who will experience the sea.
A LEGACY THAT LOOKS TO THE FUTURE
