When mentioning innovation within the maxi-open yacht category, it is safe to say that the Mangusta 104 REV inevitably dominates the conversation. Introduced by the Mangusta Yachts brand, part of the Overmarine Group, in 2021, this model represents over three decades of naval craftsmanship and excellence. A perfect example of both exterior and interior design brilliance, thanks to the visionary Igor Lobanov, the 104 REV isn’t merely a yacht—it’s a revolutionary statement of where Mangusta aims to position its yachts.

The Mangusta 104 REV makes an immediate impression due to her sleek, slender and masculine profile—a masterstroke by Lobanov. Her design draws inspiration from supercars and marries Mangusta’s enduring brand DNA with a fresh, contemporary interpretation. However, what truly sets the Mangusta 104 REV apart is the seamless integration of exterior and interior spaces. Massive floor-to-ceiling windows grace the main salon, allowing an inflow of natural light while providing panoramic views—a design feature that perfectly encapsulates the Mediterranean and Caribbean cruising experience. Further blurring the line between her interiors and its surroundings, the aft deck doors can be fully opened, transforming the area into a sprawling, unified space ideal for both dining, entertaining and relaxation.

Every inch of the 104 REV’s deck, from bow to stern, is a testament to Mangusta’s meticulous attention to detail.

The forward lounge, equipped with custom adjustable tables and sunpads, can be effortlessly adapted to the owner’s preferences, ensuring optimal comfort and personal styling. Her sundeck, meanwhile, isn’t merely an afterthought—it’s an integrated entertainment hub. Whether at the helm, taking in the vistas, or enjoying the built-in outdoor galley, all social spaces onboard are designed to ensure you feel relaxed, at ease, and surrounded by luxury.

Her lower deck further underscores the brand’s commitment to creating an elegant, opulent setting. Able to accommodate up to ten overnight guests across four sumptuously designed staterooms, the full-beam owner’s suite sits amidships, emanating the height of luxury with its lavish ensuite bathroom. The forward VIP ensuite stateroom and additional guest quarters are equally remarkable. Not to be overlooked, the crew quarters are also meticulously designed for a team of four, ensuring that the crew’s needs are met without impeding on guest privacy. The adjacent hidden galley exemplifies functional luxury, providing direct access to the main deck salon.

With the Mangusta 104 REV, one can rest assured that performance isn’t sacrificed for luxury. Twin MTU 16V2000M96L engines power her, giving her a thrilling top speed of 35 knots. Even at a cruising speed of 25 knots, she boasts an impressive range of 370 nautical miles. Whether island-hopping in the Caribbean or tracing the Mediterranean coast, the 104 REV delivers an unrivalled yachting experience.

The Mangusta 104 REV doesn’t merely raise the bar—it redefines it. For discerning yacht enthusiasts, the four models of the series is set to be on display at the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival, offering interested parties a firsthand look at maxi-open yacht perfection.
