The Mangusta 80 is a 25-meter (82-foot) Italian-built superyacht by Overmarine, powered by twin MTU engines with a top speed of 45 knots. KayDee is a Mangusta 80, and she is available for private charter from Nassau, Bahamas.
What Makes the Mangusta 80 Different?
The Mangusta 80 was not designed for the mass market. Built by Overmarine in Viareggio, Italy, the Mangusta line has been synonymous with aggressive performance yachts since the 1980s. The 80-foot model sits at the intersection of superyacht luxury and high-performance engineering — a combination built for fast, comfortable days on the water.
With a top speed of 45 knots, the Mangusta 80 covers open water quickly, so far-off cays become realistic day-trip stops. Nassau to the Exumas is not an expedition on a Mangusta 80 — it is a commute.
Mangusta 80 Specifications
The Interior: Italian Design Below Deck
Below deck, the KayDee Mangusta 80 features a full-beam salon with dark hardwood paneling, marble countertops, and custom upholstery throughout. The galley is equipped for full meal preparation. The lower salon includes generous seating, ambient lighting, and portholes that line both sides of the hull. The design philosophy is consistent with the Overmarine tradition — clean lines, premium materials, zero excess.
The upper deck features an open-air salon with teak decking, cushioned lounging areas, and a helm station with full navigation electronics. Skylights built into the hardtop flood the space with natural light while maintaining shade. The aft deck opens to a full swim platform with direct water access — the staging point for every sandbar stop and swimming destination in the Bahamas.
Performance: What 45 Knots Means for Your Charter
Speed changes everything about a Bahamas yacht charter. Most charter boats in Nassau cruise between 15–25 knots. The Mangusta 80's twin MTU engines deliver 45 knots — meaning destinations are closer, itineraries are more flexible, and time on the water is spent at your destination rather than in transit. A full day charter on the Mangusta 80 covers more ground than most boats can reach in a weekend.
This performance advantage is especially relevant for reaching the Exumas, private sandbars, and more remote destinations around Nassau, Bahamas. Your captain knows these waters and will build a route based on conditions, your preferences, and the time available — whether it is a 4-hour half day or a full 8-hour charter.
