LAUREN V

LAUREN V is a 32-metre GRP planing motor yacht built by Mangusta in 1999 to the Mangusta 105 design, substantially refitted in 2023, with exterior styling by Stefano Righini. She represents the classic Italian high-performance sportscruiser format — designed from the outset for speed, agility, and a pared-back aesthetic that prioritises motion over station-keeping.

Carrying up to nine guests in four cabins with a crew of four, LAUREN V is suited to smaller groups who prefer pace and spontaneity over structured service or extended onboard living. Her Mediterranean range spans the French Riviera, Corsica, Sardinia, Croatia, and the Greek islands, among other ports. At 25 knots maximum speed with a 20-knot cruise, she covers ground quickly — though her 400-nautical-mile range means passages are planned around bunkering stops rather than extended crossings. She is not the right vessel for large parties or guests whose priority is lavish interior space.

The Mangusta 105 hull form is widely regarded as one of the definitive planing sportcruiser shapes of its generation, with Righini's exterior delivering a profile that has aged well. The 2023 refit is a meaningful update for a vessel of this age, and the improvements to systems and finish are evident. With 134 gross tonnes aboard a 32-metre platform, the volume is committed largely to performance and guest comfort in motion rather than grand interior programming.

The swimming platform provides straightforward water access, a tender garage is fitted, and the toy inventory covers core water sports: Seabob, wakeboard, water skis, and snorkelling equipment. The vessel's character is defined by its speed and directness — she is a yacht charter proposition for those who want to move quickly between anchorages rather than settle at a single destination. The compact crew manages operations efficiently at the scale this vessel demands.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
