OLIVIA K

Mangusta's 2005 OLIVIA K centers around an expansive beach club that transforms the yacht's relationship with the water. The platform extends from the transom at sea level, creating a private waterfront terrace where guests can swim, sunbathe, or dine with their feet nearly touching the waves. At 28.04 meters, this Italian-built yacht demonstrates the builder's approach to performance cruising through clean proportions and purposeful layout. The beach club serves as the vessel's social anchor, equipped with built-in seating, storage for water toys, and direct access to both the sea and the main deck above via a central staircase. Forward spaces flow naturally from exterior to interior, with the main saloon opening to a covered aft deck through sliding glass panels. The yacht's profile maintains Mangusta's characteristic balance between sporty performance and livable comfort, evident in details like the wraparound windows that bring natural light deep into the interior spaces. OLIVIA K accommodates extended cruising with well-planned guest quarters and crew facilities that support longer voyages. Twin engines provide the performance expected from this Italian yard, while the beach club's hydraulic platform system operates smoothly for launching tenders and accessing the water. The upper deck continues the theme of outdoor living with additional seating areas and a forward sunpad, though the beach club remains the yacht's defining feature. Here, the boundary between yacht and sea dissolves, creating an intimate connection with the water that larger vessels often sacrifice for other amenities.
