The Mangusta Oceano 50, built by Overmarine Group, received the Best of Show award at the 63rdFort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS). At 50 metres long, this superyacht encapsulates all of Mangusta Yacht’s focus on design, bespoke comfort and attention to detail.

We are incredibly excited to have been awarded this year’s Best of Show winner,” said Stefano Arlunno, Mangusta Yachts’ President Americas. “The Mangusta Oceano 50 offers her guests generous interior and exterior spaces, while floor-to-ceiling windows create a smooth, seamless continuity between the indoor and outdoor areas.”

The vessel is fitted with twin MTU 12V 2000 M86, 1700 HP engines for a maximum speed of 16 knots, with a range of up to 4,500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 11 knots beneath the 500-gross-ton threshold. 

The Mangusta Oceano 50 perfectly illustrates the top-tier luxury megayachts and world class exhibitors that make FLIBS a global boat show leader,” said Andrew Doole, President of U.S. Boat Shows with Informa Markets. “We are thrilled to crown the Mangusta Oceano 50 as the Best of Show winner at our 63rd annual boat show for all visitors to enjoy.

The Best of Show award is given to innovative debut boat models on display at FLIBS that embody a variety of elements, including performance, design, technology, and architecture. The winner was selected by an elite panel of independent judges including Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez, former professional motocross and stock car driver Ricky Carmichael, yacht captain and Bravo’s Below Deck star Captain Sandy Yawn, champion race car driver Kyle Kirkwood, West Marine Chief Commercial Officer Captain Stacey Renfro, and West Marine Vice President of Brand Marketing Josh Horoshok.

The Best of Show at FLIBS has become one of the most prestigious awards to receive in yachting,” added Lori Wheeler, Vice President of the Marine Industries Association of South Florida. “This year is the 63rd edition of the show, and the competition was stiff. With more than 40 debuts submitting, narrowed down to 6 finalists. We congratulate the Mangusta Oceano 50 on receiving the 2022 Best of Show.”
