2005 MANGUSTA 72

The 2005 Mangusta 72 CARO is a high-performance sport yacht built for owners who want day-boat speed with overnight capability. Its 75-foot length and 18-foot beam give the main deck a wide, social feel that most sport yachts in this class cannot match. Located in Saint-Tropez, this used yacht for sale is ready for Mediterranean cruising or a fast run to the islands.
 

This yacht fits buyers who want a fast, stylish day boat for the French Riviera and nearby islands, not a long-range explorer. It works well for a family of six or a couple who entertains guests on deck and still wants private cabins below. The sport yacht layout also suits an owner who keeps a captain for maintenance and local runs.
 

Is the 2005 Mangusta 72 CARO for Sale?

Yes, this 2005 Mangusta 72 CARO is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is located in Saint-Tropez, France, and is ready for Mediterranean cruising or a fast run to the islands. Because the Mangusta name carries brand recognition that supports resale, availability of a comparable example in similar condition may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, MTU service history, hull condition, teak condition, electronics, and a recent survey should all be reviewed. A well-maintained example with documented service can have a very different ownership profile from another Mangusta 72 that has deferred maintenance.
 

2005 Mangusta 72 CARO Price

The asking price for this 2005 Mangusta 72 CARO should be confirmed directly with the listing broker, as pricing for sport yachts varies with condition, equipment, and documented service history. Once a flagship of the Overmarine fleet, this Mangusta 72 carries brand recognition that supports resale, but engine hours, survey findings, and maintenance records will decide the final price. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 75-foot sport yacht. Fuel is a major cost to respect. Twin 1,500 HP MTU diesels can burn roughly 400 to 500 liters per hour at a 25-knot cruise, so a 4,000-liter tank gives limited range. MTU service needs specialist techs, and Saint-Tropez berthing is expensive. Buyers should also account for a professional survey, haul-out, insurance, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This Mangusta 72 is powered by twin MTU V10 engines producing 1,500 HP total, pushing cruising at 25 knots and max 35 knots. The MTU V10 is a high-performance marine diesel known for strong power output and reliable operation, and the twin installation gives this 75-foot sport yacht the day-boat speed that Mangusta buyers expect.
 

The 18'3" beam creates a cockpit and sunpad layout that feels larger than many 80-foot yachts, and the hull is designed for fast runs to the islands. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, propeller condition, and hull maintenance, so a sea trial should confirm the 35-knot top speed and steering response. Twin 1,500 HP MTU diesels can burn roughly 400 to 500 liters per hour at a 25-knot cruise.
 

Exterior Design and Construction

This 2005 Mangusta 72 CARO features an aft sunbed and forward sunpad that expand outdoor living, making the Mangusta 72 CARO a strong entertainer, along with an 18'3" beam that creates a cockpit and sunpad layout feeling larger than many 80-foot yachts. The exterior design reflects the Mangusta brand's performance heritage, and the wide main deck gives a social feel that most sport yachts in this class cannot match.
 

Buyers should inspect the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, shafts, propellers, rudders, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, and any signs of water intrusion or previous structural repairs. Check hull moisture, teak, electronics, and the condition of the sunpads and cockpit upholstery. Deck hardware and railings should also be tested during a personal viewing in Saint-Tropez.
 

Interior and Accommodation

This 2005 Mangusta 72 CARO offers three cabins and three heads that sleep six, with a layout that suits family weekends or couples cruising. Fine wood joinery and earthy materials inside give the yacht a warm feel that photographs do not fully capture. The three-cabin arrangement works well for a family of six or a couple who entertains guests on deck and still wants private cabins below.
 

Individual boats may have different upholstery, appliances, flooring, entertainment systems, and interior finishes depending on subsequent refits. Buyers should inspect the galley equipment, refrigeration, air-conditioning, plumbing, bilge systems, and all accommodation spaces for condition and evidence of regular maintenance. The fine wood joinery and earthy materials add warmth to the interior and should be checked during a viewing.
 

What to Check Before Buying a 2005 Mangusta 72 CARO
 

Before you make an offer on this Mangusta 72 for sale, request engine hour logs, MTU service history, and a recent survey. The survey should cover the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, shafts, propellers, rudders, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, electrical equipment, air-conditioning, plumbing, and bilge systems. Check hull moisture, teak, electronics, and the condition of the sunpads and cockpit upholstery. Deck hardware and railings should also be tested.
 

The twin MTU V10 engines should be inspected individually, including engine hours, service records, diagnostic reports, cooling systems, turbochargers, exhaust components, transmissions, shafts, and propellers. Buyers should also test navigation electronics, autopilot, VHF radios, refrigeration, pumps, air-conditioning, and other onboard systems. A sea trial should confirm the 35-knot top speed and steering response. Contact the broker to see CARO in Saint-Tropez and compare it against other used sport yachts in this size range.
