<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/473" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Overmarine Group SPA (Company)">Overmarine</a> has unveiled the first details of its new 37.58-metre Mangusta GranSport 38 yacht model at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/310" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Miami International Boat Show - 2026">Miami International Boat Show 2026</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/385649/image/large-3deef1f96aaa81c7761fecae94122d18.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/385649">The new model completes the current GranSport line, which already includes the GranSport, 34, 45 and 54 models. 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. As well as this, floor-to-ceiling windows and minimal structural interruptions create visual continuity between her interior and exterior areas.The main saloon of the GranSport 38 yacht connects directly with the aft cockpit, with her full-beam owner’s suite also positioned on this deck. According to the yard, the layout has been developed to maximise natural light and horizon views, with wide glazed surfaces and open sightlines throughout.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/385651/image/large-a03170a781a3cbb9e1ddd5e826c93c18.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/385651">The Mangusta GranSport 38 yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests across five staterooms, as well as a crew of seven in four cabins. Interiors have been developed in collaboration with designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3025" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alberto Mancini Yacht Design (Company)">Alberto Mancini</a>, with Mangusta continuing its custom-focused approach that allows owners to tailor layouts, materials and finishes.On her upper deck, her main saloon opens onto an alfresco dining area, while her foredeck features Mangusta’s signature infinity pool. Furthermore, the sun deck of the Mangusta GranSport 38 yacht has been conceived as a private observation space, offering extended sea views. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/385648/image/large-476dc9f6a9833f7aa71ac6d02d649c13.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/385648">Her beach club spans two levels, with a staircase from the main deck cockpit leading down to her swim platform, alongside fold-down side wings and a transformer platform to extend the usable area at anchor. Her garage can be accessed from the side and accommodates a tender of up to 5.5 metres alongside two Jet Skis.In terms of performance, the Mangusta GranSport 38 yacht is powered by four <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> D13 1,000 horsepower engines, paired with IPS pods under the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> IPS Professional platform. The result is a top speed of 20 knots, a cruising speed of 18 knots, with her configuration enabling a more compact engine room, freeing additional interior volume.&nbsp;

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.

China eases cross-border travel rules for Hong Kong and Macau yacht owners

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a>&nbsp;is both a leader in the field of waterjet technology and a point of reference for serial production tenders. Active across the military, commercial, and superyacht sectors, the Italian brand is now applying its propulsion and manufacturing know-how to the specialist market for limousine tenders.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396631/image/large-062ebf001bce4c2cc3c7a9d7b4ad2e91.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396631">The small town of Albairate in landlocked Lombardy might seem a strange place for a boatbuilder to set up shop, but it is closely linked to the brand’s origins in one of Italy’s richest agricultural regions. Luigi Castoldi was a pioneering engineer in the agricultural machinery sector through his company BCS, which is still extant today. He began exploring waterjet propulsion – still a novelty in the early 1960s – because boats were damaging their propellers on the shallow bottom of the nearby River Ticino.&nbsp;After importing a waterjet drive, he set about re-engineering it to create a more durable and effective design. His first mass-produced <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> waterjet, model Jet 05, made its debut at the 1969 Genoa Boat Show. Since then, over 40,000 <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> waterjets have been delivered around the world, from the compact 224 unit up to the mighty 600 HCT drive that can support installed power of up to 2,700 horsepower.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396632/image/large-4d83f3db58d65cf02a38baa8d387c061.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396632">Today, the company is still family-owned under the directorship of Giacomo Castoldi, Luigi’s grandson, who with his father Franco spearheaded the company’s diversification into the tender market with its own range of diesel-powered jet tenders. The first model, the JT 18 Pro in 1998, served as the blueprint for the current range, from the entry-level Jet Tender 14 up to the 10.5-metre Jet Tender 34. The latter also provides the technical platform for the Jet Tender 34 Limo, the company’s first venture into the limousine market.Why waterjetsWaterjet propulsion for superyacht tenders offers several advantages over traditional propeller-based systems. These include enhanced manoeuvrability, higher efficiency and durability, lower noise and vibration, and the reversing bucket can ‘crash stop’ a boat in less than twice its own length. But arguably the most critical feature – as Luigi Castoldi was quick to realise – is shallow draft.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396635/image/large-accb3204fb1c42a0f2bfa16fdfac9f5c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396635">“Jet tenders can drive right up to a beach, and most of our models are equipped with bow ramps as standard,” says Giacomo Castoldi. “Combined with a folding console, low draft also means they occupy less vertical space inside the tender garage, while the lack of exposed propeller blades reduces the potential for injury to swimmers, divers, or marine life.”Over the years, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> has finessed its waterjet technology. Unlike other systems requiring external gearboxes, all <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> waterjets except the entry-level Turbodrive 224 DD have integrated gearboxes. This results in a more compact overall footprint, which means more space for passengers and luggage storage, and simplifies the installation process while reducing the potential for errors or rework. They are also equipped with a patented anti-clogging system that enhances the waterjet’s reliability in challenging conditions. The Clear-Duct unclogging system works by reversing the direction of the impeller and simultaneously opening the protective intake grid to flush out any debris that may have accumulated.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396660/image/large-44d8926e35b1304d60e5cdbcb14c3137.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396660"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a>’s latest waterjet drives that carry the HCT acronym have been redesigned to offer a 12% increase in performance compared to previous iterations. Advancements in impeller design, a pre-stator vane system, and an updated post-impeller stator work together to improve the flow of water through the system, reduce cavitation, and ultimately deliver more thrust combined with lower fuel consumption.&nbsp;“These enhancements are largely thanks to investment in CFD analysis,” says Giacomo, “Combining fluid dynamics with our own practical engineering know-how has generated a lot of new ideas."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396615/image/large-28e2be0f5dedca48b4f2f92405172d02.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396615">Total control<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A.

Powered by a 32-bit embedded processor and utilising a proprietary CAN bus network protocol, the ACES system delivers precision control of engine RPM, waterjet steering nozzles and reversing buckets when transitioning between docking and cruising modes. Additional functions include dynamic positioning and smart anchoring, which simulates mechanical anchoring by swinging around a virtual GPS point. Adaptive steering logic can even provide ‘propeller mode,’ which recognises when the vessel is in reverse to simulate conventional propeller behaviour – a useful feature for operators transitioning to waterjets.To maintain quality control, most of the waterjet components are machined in-house, an exception being the Duplex stainless-steel impellers that rely on precision investment casting technology. With regard to tender production, the whole process – from the 3D design, hull lamination and tube fabrication to the hydraulic and electrical systems – is carried out internally before final testing in its own water basin in front of the factory.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396658/image/large-b3c15147d7d49ce31a9b749e8a305ff2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396658">When <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A.

While this approach allows for alignment with the mothership’s aesthetic, it often results in longer lead times, higher costs, and compromises in terms of performance and systems integration. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396633/image/large-bb3ca9a1c828124e6a74dc5b67525448.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396633"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A.

Two primary interior layouts are offered: one with all-seated configurations for maximum comfort, and another combining seating with a pantry and bathroom for longer transfers.

(Company)">Castoldi</a> has expanded its offerings and capabilities, its workforce has grown accordingly and is now nearing 100 direct employees. In terms of business performance, the company has seen consistent growth, especially over the past two years since Luca Taccani joined the company. Annual turnover is currently distributed fairly equally across the waterjet and tender markets (50% and 40% respectively) with the remainder from spare parts and commissioning activities.&nbsp;Although <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A.

Its propulsion products, on the other hand, can generate recurring clients that expect reliable and ongoing service. Naval procurement involving multiple waterjet units is an expanding sector for the company, for example. To meet this demand, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> has made a deliberate effort to ensure the availability of components, stocking spare parts for older models well beyond customary timelines – often for more than ten years.“We’ve focused strongly on spare parts and after-sales support with dedicated back-office staff for service management,” says Luca Taccani. “This long-term outlook not only boosts customer loyalty but has also proven financially advantageous. As raw material costs have risen sharply, having a ready stock of components means we’ve been able to avoid significant cost increases.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a>’s trajectory over the past few years reflects a competitive company that is expanding its product range while also refining its operational efficiency and service capabilities. By focusing on technical innovation and long-term service, it has effectively created a “flywheel” effect, whereby small but consistent wins build momentum over time in a self-sustaining cycle of growth. Moreover, the brand’s entry into the limo tender market aims to demonstrate how serial production methodologies, when combined with proprietary propulsion and rigorous quality control, can challenge the prevailing bespoke approach.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396659/image/large-9f4ecad812d4f5c94c3664909275b1d8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396659">
