Overmarine Group Debuts the 49.9m MANGUSTA GRANSPORT 50 at Palm Beach and She Redefines Speed

Unveiled on Thursday this week at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, the 49.9-metre GRANSPORT 50 introduces something genuinely new to the sport yacht segment: a Raised Pilot House (RPH) integrated so cleanly into the superstructure that from a distance, you'd never know it was there. But move it upstairs and suddenly the entire upper deck is liberated.

Where a helm station once sat, there's now a signature infinity pool and a panoramic forward lounge which is a vantage point that is, as Stefano Arlunno, President of Mangusta Americas, puts it, 'normally reserved for the pilot bridge, which can now be enjoyed exclusively by the Owner and their guests.' It sounds simple but actually packaging three and a half decks into a silhouette that still reads as a lean, muscular sport yacht required serious engineering discipline and a designer, Alberto Mancini, willing to push the GRANSPORT DNA into genuinely new territory.

The result is a yacht that's visually lighter than anything Mangusta has built before. Full-height glazing replaces solid topsides, and the iconic fashion plates are now frameless, a first for the brand, with Grigio Europa glass inserts creating a play of shadow and reflection along the hull. Privacy from the outside, panoramic openness from within.

Below, the logic continues. With the galley relocated to the lower deck, the entire main deck becomes the Owner's domain, a full-beam master suite with optional automatically-operated balcony and, at the bow, a side-opening garage swallowing a 6.3-metre tender and two jet skis. The stern, freed from toy storage, becomes pure social space, anchored by a central staircase, flanked by supercar-door side wings, that opens onto a beach club convertible into a private lounge or gym.

Performance hasn't been sacrificed for volume. Twin engines push the GRANSPORT 50 to a top speed of around 20 knots, with a cruising speed of 16 knots and a remarkable range of approximately 4,200 nautical miles, genuinely trans-oceanic capability from a yacht that still looks like it wants to go fast.

Up to 12 guests across five cabins. Nine crew in five dedicated cabins. And an owner who, for the first time on a yacht of this type, gets their own private deck with a sea view that used to belong exclusively to the captain.

That's the real story of the GRANSPORT 50: not just half a deck more, but a fundamentally different relationship between the people onboard and the sea around them.
