Mangusta's 11th 104 REV sells before its spring 2027 launch
An eleventh hull, sold in build
Overmarine Group has confirmed the sale of the eleventh Mangusta 104 REV, the smallest and most accessible model in its Maxi Open line. The deal was closed by broker Nicolo Strocco with Idea Yaching, and the yacht is now committed for delivery in spring 2027. The 104 REV runs to 31.8 metres on a beam of about 7.1 metres, carries up to ten guests in four cabins, and is drawn inside and out by Lobanov Design.
The performance is the point of the model. Twin MTU 16V2000 engines push it to about 35 knots flat out and a 25-knot cruise, with the aft cockpit door folding down to open the main deck to the water. This is the classic owner-driver toy: fast, glassy, and built to be run hard on a summer coastline rather than crossed oceans in.
Why an in-build slot is the story
A buyer who takes a hull already in production skips the eighteen months to two years a full custom demands before the keel is even laid. He gets a spring 2027 delivery on known naval architecture, a fixed layout, and a price that is set rather than open-ended. For an owner who wants to be on the water for the 2027 Med season, that timeline is the whole appeal.
It also caps the risk that comes with a first-of-type. The 104 REV is now on its eleventh unit, so the systems, the ride and the resale pattern are all documented. An owner buying number eleven is buying a track record, not a promise, and that shows up later as a firmer resale value than an unproven one-off.
A fast toy holding against the explorer trend
Most of the order book noise this year is about displacement: long-range explorers, beach clubs, hybrid drives on heavy steel hulls. The Maxi Open sits at the other end, a planing sportyacht that trades range for speed and open-deck living. Eleven sales of the entry model says that appetite has not gone anywhere, even as the headlines move the other way.
For an owner weighing what to buy, the read is simple. The fast-open niche is liquid enough to keep reselling, which protects the money parked in one. A 31.8m that still turns 35 knots and can be driven by its owner remains a distinct asset, and a distinct asset is the one that holds its value when the market turns.
