Mangusta 105 "LAUREN V" — luxury yacht charter

LAUREN V: relaxed outdoor living with a sporting Riviera spirit

A charter aboard LAUREN V centres on long lunches outside, swimming stops and time shared between generous deck spaces. This 31.5-metre Mangusta 105 combines a low sporting silhouette with black and silver-grey styling, refreshed during her 2022/2023 refit. Her Antibes charter base places the South of France at the heart of the experience, with Ibiza also offered subject to availability and positioning.

She is particularly well suited to a family or group wanting a crewed yacht with several places to gather and several ways to unwind. Four cabins provide eight principal beds and an additional Pullman, allowing up to nine overnight guests when that arrangement is confirmed. Four crew look after the journey, including a chef who tailors meals to guest preferences. Outdoor dining accommodates as many as 12 people, distinct from her overnight capacity.

Life on board

The cabin arrangement comprises a master suite, a VIP cabin and two twins, with one additional Pullman berth. Two double cabins give couples their own retreats, while the twins suit children or friends who prefer separate beds. For a party of nine, the Pullman configuration should be reviewed before booking so that everyone understands the sleeping arrangement.

The owner's cabin has a double bed and a sofa, giving its occupants a private place to read or pause between activities. Guest bathrooms feature marble finishes, and the accommodation includes a double-basin bathroom with a shower. The main saloon's sofas and tables provide an indoor alternative when guests want a quieter conversation away from the decks.

Service is supported by a four-person team covering the captain, engineering, interior hospitality and cooking. The chef can shape menus around preferences rather than requiring the group to follow a fixed dining programme. Dietary requirements, favourite ingredients and children's meals are best discussed before embarkation, allowing provisioning to reflect the party's needs.

Meals can become the day's natural meeting point. Breakfast might precede a swim, lunch can bring everyone back to the alfresco table, and dinner can be planned around an evening at anchor or ashore. These are options for shaping the charter, not a prescribed schedule: the appeal is the freedom to decide how much activity each day should contain.

Decks, toys and water sports

The aft deck offers space for socialising beside the sea, with outdoor dining and a circular sunbathing area. A covered deck lounge adds another comfortable setting for meals and conversation. Forward sunpads, with a shade canopy, create a separate retreat when some guests want to relax away from the main gathering area.

The bathing platform serves as the connection to swimming and tender outings. Her charter water-sports package includes:

• Williams 325 Jet Tender
• One three-person Sea-Doo Spark personal watercraft
• One Seabob
• Three stand-up paddleboards
• Towing tube
• Wakeboard
• Snorkelling equipment

The variety allows the group to alternate between gentler exploration and more energetic sessions. Paddleboarding and snorkelling can suit a quiet stop, while the towable equipment adds another option when conditions permit. Equipment availability, operator requirements and suitable locations should be confirmed with the crew; not every activity is appropriate at every anchorage.

Where to charter her

LAUREN V's charter base is Antibes, France, and her cruising offer covers the South of France and Ibiza. Beaulieu-sur-Mer is her stated yacht location, which should not be confused with a guaranteed embarkation point. The starting port and any delivery arrangements need to be agreed for the requested dates.

For a Riviera week, a rewarding approach is to combine short coastal passages with unhurried swimming stops and selected evenings ashore. An illustrative seven-day rhythm could begin with embarkation and a nearby anchorage, continue with several days alternating coastal exploration and water sports, then leave the final days flexible for favourite stops and the return passage.

This is a planning suggestion rather than a fixed route. Weather, berth availability and the group's priorities determine the final itinerary. Guests considering Ibiza should request confirmation of the yacht's positioning and any associated charges rather than assuming that a Balearic departure is included in an Antibes-based quotation.

Weekly charter pricing is available on request. A tailored proposal should identify the dates, embarkation and disembarkation ports, guest numbers and intended cruising area. VAT, an Advance Provisioning Allowance, fuel, food, beverages, berthing and delivery charges should all be addressed explicitly, since no inclusive package or allowance percentage is specified here.

Performance and comfort at sea

LAUREN V has twin 1,600 hp MTU engines, with a cruising speed of 17 knots and a maximum of 25 knots. Those figures provide useful context for itinerary planning, but daily passages remain subject to conditions and the captain's judgement. Leaving time between destinations helps preserve the relaxed character of a holiday built around anchorages and outdoor living.

Her beam is 6.9 metres and her draft is 1.45 metres. The open-sports configuration brings guests close to the water, with covered and uncovered spaces offering different ways to enjoy the journey. Stabiliser equipment is not confirmed; guests for whom motion sensitivity is a priority should discuss this before committing to the charter.
