Sub 500 tonnes with a big yacht feel

The Oceano 52 sits near the top of the displacement range, below only the 60 metre flagship. At 52 metres she is engineered to stay under 500 GT, which keeps crewing and regulation lighter than her length suggests. Demand has been strong, with more than one hull sold as buyers seek space without crossing the 500 GT line. First deliveries are set for the late 2020s, with early hulls already in build.

She is built in steel with an aluminium superstructure, the classic recipe for a serious long range yacht. The Oceano brief is quiet comfort and long reach, and the 52 delivers both on a generous scale. Alberto Mancini shaped the exterior with the Overmarine office on the interior. For an owner who wants the presence of a bigger boat without the tonnage, she is squarely on target.

A master suite with the best view aboard

The defining feature of the 52 is where the owner sleeps. The master suite is lifted to the upper deck and opened up into a loft style volume with glazing that gives a near 180 degree view of the horizon. Waking up to that panorama is a rare privilege on a boat under 500 GT. Placing the owner up high also frees the main deck for guest and social spaces.

Outdoor life is just as strong. A Mangusta signature infinity pool sits on deck, a real luxury for long days at anchor in warm water. Wide glazing and open deck areas connect the interior to the sea throughout the boat. A generous sun deck and a beach area aft give guests more ways to spend a warm day at anchor. The steel and aluminium build gives the volume and stability that make all of this work over long passages.

Twelve guests, six staterooms

Below the upper deck master, the 52 carries her guests in generous style. Up to 12 sleep across six staterooms, with an owner's cabin, two VIPs and two rooms that convert between twins and doubles. That flexibility suits families, friends and mixed groups on long trips. Crew of up to 11 keep service seamless without ever crossing into guest space.

The interior is a semi custom commission through the Overmarine design office. Owners set the materials, layout and mood to match how they cruise, from cool and modern to warm and classic. The volume of a 52 metre hull gives the designers room for real grandeur while keeping the boat under 500 GT. Comfort at anchor is worked as carefully as ability on passage.

Long range on twin MTUs

The 52 is powered by twin MTU 12V 2000 M86 engines of 1,700 hp each, driving conventional shaft lines. Top speed sits around 16 knots with a relaxed cruise near 11 knots. At that pace the range reaches about 4,500 nautical miles, enough for genuine ocean crossings. The steel hull and shaft drive are built for quiet, dependable running over long distances.

This is a boat designed to go far and stay comfortable while doing it. The displacement hull and modest cruising speed keep fuel burn low and the ride serene. Good tankage and a proven drivetrain give the confidence a long passage demands. The shaft lines and fixed pitch propellers are simple to service and dependable far from a yard. Keeping the yacht under 500 GT also holds crewing and engineering within sensible limits for the space aboard. For owners planning to cruise remote grounds far from home, the 52 has the legs for it.

The owner it suits

The 52 is for the owner who wants the space and grandeur of a bigger yacht while staying under 500 GT. The upper deck master suite is a genuine draw for a buyer who values the view and the privacy it brings. The infinity pool and long range make it a natural base for a whole season aboard. Families and larger groups have real room across six staterooms.

Staying under the 500 GT mark keeps crewing and regulation lighter than the tonnage of a bigger boat. That balance of volume and manageability is why the 52 has sold so well. The semi custom interior lets an owner tailor the yacht closely to their life aboard. For a serious long range cruiser with a headline owner's suite, the 52 stands out.

Who it is for: The owner who wants a big yacht feel and an upper deck master suite while staying under 500 GT.
