A Stunning Superyacht Changes Hands: The Mangusta 165 REV N1 Finds a New Owner!
Imagine owning a masterpiece of naval engineering, a floating palace that blends exhilarating performance with unparalleled luxury. Well, someone just did! The magnificent 49.9-meter Mangusta 165 REV N1 has been sold, marking a significant transaction in the world of high-end yachting.
John Wood of Seawood Yachts played a key role in brokering this impressive deal. Seawood Yachts (https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/luxury-yacht-broker-directory/seawood-yachts) is known for connecting discerning buyers with exceptional vessels, and this sale certainly underscores their reputation.
But what makes this particular yacht so special? N1 isn't just another pretty face on the water; it represents a fusion of innovative design and cutting-edge technology. Delivered in 2022, it was the very first hull in the celebrated Mangusta 165 REV series. This series is the brainchild of a powerful collaboration: Overmarine's (https://www.boatinternational.com/profiles/overmarine--17259) in-house engineering prowess combined with the visionary design of Lobanov Design (https://www.boatinternational.com/profiles/igor-lobanov--26219) . What resulted is a yacht that's both aesthetically striking and functionally brilliant.
The exterior styling of the Mangusta 165 REV series draws inspiration from the sleek lines of 1930s sports cars. Think long, elegant bows, a low profile that screams speed, and dynamic lines that hint at the power within. It’s a modern reinvention of the classic Mangusta 165 model, building upon its predecessor's success while pushing the boundaries of design. This blend of retro and futuristic aesthetics is sure to turn heads in any marina.
The asking price for N1 was a cool €28,000,000. A price tag that reflects the exceptional quality and craftsmanship on offer.
Stepping inside, the N1 offers accommodation for up to 12 guests, providing ample space for family and friends. The owner's cabin, located on the main deck, is a true sanctuary of luxury. Down below, five additional guest cabins ensure everyone enjoys a comfortable and private retreat. The split-level owner's suite is a standout feature, inspired by the sophisticated penthouses of New York City. Its asymmetric layout creates a unique and visually appealing space, enhanced by streamlined side windows that flood the suite with natural light. A private entrance lounge, complete with plush sofas and elegant coffee tables, offers an exclusive haven for relaxation.
And this is the part most people miss... The lower level of the owner's suite takes the design to another level, featuring circular shapes, rounded windows, and even a round bed. The master bathroom is a masterpiece in itself, clad in luxurious onyx and flanked by two spacious dressing rooms. Floor-to-ceiling glazed surfaces offer breathtaking panoramic views of the sea, making every morning feel like a dream.
Of course, a yacht of this caliber requires a dedicated crew. N1 provides comfortable quarters for a crew of up to 10 in five cabins, ensuring seamless service and attention to detail.
Natural light is a key element of the interior design. A glazed strip in the main saloon extends all the way to the ceiling, allowing an abundance of sunlight to illuminate the space. Two side windows in the saloon can be opened to create fold-down balconies, offering stunning sea views and a direct connection with the surrounding environment. Imagine sipping your morning coffee while enjoying the fresh sea breeze from your private balcony!
On the exterior, N1 boasts an infinity pool on the foredeck, complete with a sun-lounging area perfect for soaking up the rays. The 69-square-meter sundeck offers even more space for relaxation and entertainment, featuring a bar and seating area where guests can enjoy cocktails and conversation. The yacht also features a lateral tender garage, capable of housing a Williams 625 tender for exploring hidden coves and accessing secluded beaches.
Now, let's talk about power. N1 is equipped with four Rolls Royce 2,600 horsepower MTU engines and four Kongsberg-Kamewa waterjets. This formidable combination allows the 499GT yacht to reach a maximum speed of 34 knots. But here's where it gets controversial... While some might prioritize sheer speed, N1 also offers an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots and a range of 650 nautical miles, balancing performance with long-range capabilities. Some argue that a yacht this size should prioritize fuel efficiency and a longer range, while others value the thrill of high-speed cruising. What do you think?
According to John Wood, "We are extremely proud to have facilitated the sale of N1. Her quality, pedigree, and design sophistication made her stand out in the market, and this successful transaction highlights Seawood Yachts’ ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional results for our clients.”
