With no technical specifications yet published, the footage focuses on the yacht’s exterior form, deck layout, and main interior spaces, hinting at its position within the Mangusta GranSport range.
Early design cues from the GranSport 38
The GranSport 38 appears to carry forward Mangusta’s familiar low-slung profile, with a sharp, slightly reverse-leaning bow and a long, uninterrupted glazing band along the main deck. The hull windows of the motor yacht read as a continuous strip rather than individual openings, suggesting a full-beam main salon or forward guest space designed to maximize light and outward views.
Inside, the video shows a calm, contemporary interior with a full-beam salon, separate lounge and dining zones, and extensive glazing on both sides. The materials lean toward light woods and neutral fabrics, with sculpted ceiling details that soften the space and improve perceived height. While clearly still a visual presentation rather than a finished yacht, the tone suggests a move toward comfort-led cruising rather than overt sportiness.
On deck, the foredeck is clearly intended as a primary social area. A full-width U-shaped sofa wraps the bow, with low bulwarks and clean sightlines that emphasize connection to the surroundings rather than layered deck furniture or mechanical features.
Aft, the cockpit is arranged symmetrically around a central passage leading down toward the water. This layout feels more superyacht-led than purely functional, with generous loose furniture and lighting integrated into the overhead structure. Side decks appear wide and sheltered, with glass inserts opening views out to sea, suggesting they are intended for regular guest circulation underway.
Positioning the GranSport 38
Within the current Mangusta GranSport lineup, the new model is likely to sit between the GranSport 34 and the larger GranSport 45.
At just under 34m, the Mangusta GranSport 34 defines the entry point into Mangusta’s fast cruising GranSport lineup. Built in composite, it is engineered to deliver long range at relatively high cruising speeds, with a reported maximum range of 3,000 nautical miles at 20 knots. Accommodation is arranged across five cabins for up to 12 guests, supported by a crew of five.
The GranSport 34 prioritizes efficiency and speed without stepping into full superyacht territory. Deck spaces are well considered for the size, but remain compact and purposeful, with a clear focus on covering distance quickly and comfortably. The visual cues from the GranSport 38 suggest a clear step beyond this baseline. The fuller aft deck arrangement, wider side decks, and more architectural glazing point toward increased volume and a stronger emphasis on shared social spaces than the 34 can realistically deliver within its footprint.
The Mangusta GranSport 45 represents a more substantial leap within the range. Constructed in aluminium and stretching to 45.3m, it introduces a more complex deck arrangement, larger crew capacity, and a clear shift toward superyacht-style outdoor living. It accommodates up to 12 guests across five cabins and carries a crew of seven.
Notable features include a large beach area, an upper deck that links interior and exterior spaces through extensive glazing, and a foredeck zone that becomes a destination in its own right. Performance remains central to the concept, with reported speeds exceeding 26 knots and a long-range cruising capability at lower speeds
In visual terms, the GranSport 38 appears to borrow selectively from this approach. The emphasis on foredeck seating, the symmetry of the aft deck, and the scale of the glazing all echo the 45’s design priorities, but without evidence of more complex elements such as multi-level beach clubs or water features. This suggests a deliberate midpoint model that captures much of the 45’s spatial confidence while remaining simpler in layout and systems.
The design philosophy at the top of the range
At the top of the range sits the Mangusta GranSport 54, Mangusta’s flagship GranSport model. Built entirely in aluminium, it is engineered to pair near-30-knot top speeds with genuine long-range capability, including a reported 4,200 nautical mile range at 12 knots. Accommodation spans six cabins for up to 12 guests, supported by a crew of nine.
Our YachtBuyer review highlighted the GranSport 54’s ability to balance pace with comfort and autonomy. Features such as a three-sided beach club, a foredeck pool with a glass base lighting the owner’s bathroom below, and a layout designed for extended passages place it firmly in superyacht territory. The review also emphasized its engineering depth, redundancy, and suitability for transoceanic cruising.
Viewed against this backdrop, the GranSport 38 reads as a scaled and simplified expression of the same design philosophy. The video imagery suggests it adopts the flagship’s focus on light, flow, and usable exterior space, while stopping short of the complexity, crew requirements, and engineering intensity that define the 54.
Taken together, the early footage positions the GranSport 38 as a bridge within the GranSport lineup. It appears designed to offer a meaningful step up in space and onboard experience from the 34, while providing a more accessible alternative to the size and systems of the 45 and 54. With specifications yet to be released, the video serves as a clear signal of intent rather than a full technical picture, but it points toward a model that could play a key role in Mangusta’s fast cruising range.
