The profile is not radical or extravagant but refined and timeless. This is a yacht conceived to stand the test of time.”&nbsp;Eidsgaard added: “The keys to a successful layout in a 499 GT yacht are simplicity and versatility. We want to achieve the maximum possible lifestyle space for the guests while ensuring that the crew have the perfect working space to deliver a top-notch experience. Features such as the infinity pool, or the unique coffee table on the sundeck, which doubles as an atrium skylight, will be focal points that invite guests to gather together. The sundeck will be large enough to hold up to 20 guests for outdoor dining. Hospitality is such an important element in yachting, and we wanted to ensure that visiting day-guests can be properly entertained too.”For the next six months, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> engineers and the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Harrison Eidsgaard (Company)">Harrison Eidsgaard</a> team will work together on translating this design into a perfectly engineered superyacht.

For the first time, the signature fashion plates are frameless, while Grigio Europa glass inserts add a sophisticated effect through subtle light and shadow reflections.“The Mangusta GranSport 50 has everything one expects of a Mangusta yacht: a highly recognizable sporty profile that embraces generous, stylishly harmonised interiors and exteriors, in an engineering feat that combines high speed, fuel efficiency, and unmatched comfort with trans-oceanic range,” commented <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/473" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Overmarine Group SPA (Company)">Overmarine Group</a> CEO Maurizio Balducci.Meanwhile, the new Mangusta GranSport 50 interiors place a strong emphasis on openness, with each deck designed to offer a distinct interpretation of life onboard. She accommodates up to 12 guests across five well-appointed staterooms, while nine crew members are housed in five dedicated cabins. The full-beam master suite features extensive glazing and can be fitted with an automatically operated balcony. The entire main deck is now devoted to the owner with the galley relocated to the lower deck.Described by the shipyard as an ‘elevated escape,’ the sundeck serves as an exclusive terrace where guests can enjoy panoramic views. The yacht introduces an elevated perspective through a layout spanning three and a half decks, complemented by a raised pilothouse (RPH). The ‘Upper Deck-and-a-Half’ configuration creates a higher helm position, offering enhanced visibility during navigation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389576/image/large-d973d16b6a6383e8931af5d650491841.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389576">President of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/473" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Overmarine Group SPA (Company)">Mangusta Americas</a> Stefano Arlunno oversaw the design process. “The inspiration behind the Mangusta GranSport 50 is equally simple and revolutionary: to offer ‘1/2 more' - half a deck more,” said Stefano.With the pilothouse positioned on the upper deck, additional space is freed up forward, maximising the potential of this area. It now features the signature infinity pool alongside a panoramic lounge. The pool, characterised by its minimalist design, has been reimagined as a central feature of the deck.“The Raised Pilot House changes everything: we wanted to free up the upper deck by envisaging new configurations that would radically redefine the onboard experience and create spaces to live, and not just to walk through. On this vessel, the sea doesn’t simply surround you; it also stretches out right in front of you,” added Stefano.&nbsp;Moreover, the owner can choose between two pre-engineered configurations: the lounge area may instead be transformed into a sixth panoramic cabin filled with natural light or a private family lounge or office overlooking the bow and infinity pool. This latter option effectively turns the entire level into the owner’s private deck, repurposing an area traditionally reserved for the bridge for the exclusive enjoyment of the owner and their guests.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389575/image/large-f4e5095b8f4dd1055ed3a6fb00e57164.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389575">At the bow, an integrated side-opening garage provides ample space for a 6.3-metre tender and two JetSkis, leaving the stern completely unobstructed. A standout feature aft is the dramatic central staircase linking the main cockpit to the swim platform. Two curved side wings, sculpted like supercar doors, unfold to reveal a private beach club that can transform into a lounge on the water or a panoramic gym with sweeping sea views. Meanwhile, the sun loungers, seamlessly integrated into the transom, build upon a design concept seen on the Mangusta GranSport 38.With a volume of 499 GT and a beam of 9.6-metres, the new Mangusta GranSport 50 yacht is propelled by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a> engines, giving her a cruising speed of 16 knots and a top speed of 20 knots.“Today, true luxury means space flexibility, brightness, and freedom - this yacht embodies them all,” concluded Alberto.

The 40P’s beach club and glass-fronted pool is a true focal point for the yacht, rather than just an amenity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389347/image/large-607379235c0c2482d1164d64f94239cd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389347"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389344/image/large-e9eb38ed49b78e661e103fc350a96a65.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389344"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389346/image/large-9b9ce6985838b2b2be50d542b7b02424.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389346">Inside, 40P pushes the design into superyacht territory, with a larger open-plan layout and increased spatial separation, particularly in the owner’s suite and upper deck lounges. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389352/image/large-a53a8b06c6f317128fbdec8f0c988d6f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389352"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389348/image/large-c59036fdbc74573105b09b2a804b7421.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389348"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389355/image/large-d4801d616fbbfcc4d90009e256f1d297.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389355">In terms of performance, both models are powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> engines.

Built in composite at the Viareggio facility, she is conceived as Sport Utility Yacht, combining performance, volume and long-range capability with a focus on onboard comfort.The core design of the Mangusta GranSport 38 features a dual asymmetrical configuration developed across two decks. Her main deck has one walkway on her port-side, while the starboard side has been absorbed into the interior, enlarging her main saloon. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/385650/image/large-b0507cb5e73803d2e866636f97339172.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/385650">On the upper deck, the arrangement is reversed, with a single walkway to starboard increasing usable interior volume to port.

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida has dismissed the entire complaint brought by Export Yacht Sales (Brill Maritime), which alleged that Boats Group illegally monopolised the US online boat-listing market through YachtWorld, Boat Trader and boats.com.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355047/image/large-0bd8f332392990f5a08cac6ea37b81d1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355047">The lawsuit was filed on 14 August 2025, with Brill Maritime alleging that Boats Group controlled approximately 75 percent of the market for listing and marketing recreational boats and used subscription agreements that either bar or discourage brokers and dealers from listing vessels on rival platforms.Read more: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/64073" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="US boat dealers bring antitrust class action against Boats Group (2025-08-21 13:00:00 +0200)">US boat dealers bring antitrust class action against Boats Group</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355053/image/large-d4b378b0bbe9bf56a1926a2d570b4fd5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355053">According to Brill Maritime, competing platforms had been unable to achieve the scale or inventory to grow their services effectively, leaving brokers and dealers with limited options.The court found that Brill Maritime had plausibly alleged that the relevant market could be defined as an online boat listing and marketing service in the United States and that Boat Group may possess monopoly power in that market.&nbsp;Brill Maritime also alleged that Boat’s Group claimed 75 percent of the global share, reasonably supporting an inference that it has a dominant position in the US market. As a result of this, the judge did not dismiss the case because Boats Group lacks market power.However, the judge said that Brill Maritime had failed to show that Boats Group engaged in illegal anticompetitive conduct and under US antitrust law, being a monopoly is not illegal by itself.The court repeatedly emphasised that monopoly power is legal, but using that power through anticompetitive behaviour to exclude rivals is illegal.&nbsp;The judge found that Brill Maritime’s three main allegations were insufficient including that Boats Group became dominant by acquiring competitors such as YachtWorld.com, boats.com and YachtCloser.com.The judge said that acquiring competitors is not necessarily illegal and that Brill Maritime had not explained how these acquisitions had harmed competition. The complaint had described the acquisitions as “strategic” suggesting it was more of a successful business move than illegal conduct. The judge explained that Brill Maritime had shown that Boats Group bought competitors, but not that these acquisitions were unlawful. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355039/image/large-513a0ee840e10e5371f647093bba58d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355039">Brill Maritime also claimed that Boats Group's subscription agreements stoped brokers from listing boats elsewhere. The judge examined the contract language and concluded that the provision merely prevented brokers from implying that a YachtWorld or Boats Group listing originated somewhere else. He therefore concluded that you can advertise on YachtWorld and on other sites and the contract simply prevented you from pretending a Boats Group listing came from another platform, meaning the clause is not an exclusive dealing arrangement.Finally, Brill Maritime argued that Boats Group had dramatically increased its prices. The judge responded that high prices alone are not an antitrust violation. The court cited multiple precedents saying a legal monopolist is generally allowed to charge whatever prices it wants. To prove monopolisation, Brill Maritime needed to show that the higher prices resulted from illegal exclusionary conduct.In conclusion, the judge accepted that Boats Group may hold monopoly power in the US online boat-listing market, but ruled that the plaintiffs failed to show that Boats Group acquired or maintained that position through illegal anticompetitive conduct.United States District Judge, Roy K. Altman dismissed the complaint without prejudice, meaning the plaintiff is able to resubmit an amended complaint, with a deadline of 30 June 2026.&nbsp;The lawsuit also contained claims under Florida law, with the federal court declining to hear the state claims as the federal antitrust claims were dismissed. These were also dismissed without prejudice, allowing for them to also be refiled.&nbsp;SuperYacht Times will continue to follow this story and will provide updates where necessary.
