Luxury motor yacht Pumpkin by Overmarine Group represents the ninth Mangusta 165 vessel, boasting the new propulsion system. The striking 50-metre maxi open yacht Pumpkin is the first Mangusta 165 to feature four MTU engines.
Today’s clients want the layout of a home on-board their yachts, they want space and light, but also a high performance, giving the word a new meaning: not only energy and stability, but most importantly comfort and efficiency, at all speeds.
This is exactly what the Group has focused on in its work over the past three years,: process control, the type of composite structures used, cutting-edge processing, soundproofing, vibration control, and ergonomic layouts. Everything has been studied in painstaking detail in order to guarantee quality, excellence and well-being on board. The Group has also worked on propulsion systems which satisfy various demands in terms of both speed and comfort, paying greater attention to consumption and stabilisation in order to increase both range and efficiency.

The new Mangusta 165 no. 9 is the very latest example of this evolution and of the perfect combination of comfort and speed.
There are a number of important technological innovations on this yacht as well as improvements in performance, including a new propulsion system with 4 MTU 16V 2000 M94 2600hp engines, 4 Rolls Royce/Kamewa NP (new pump) waterjets and 4 Seakeeper stabilisers. This driving system has an excellent weight/power ratio, as the engines are lighter than the previous ones and so there is less weight in movement when the yacht is at sea. These last generation engines are also more efficient and have a modular functionality. The waterjets are also stronger as the design has been renewed in order to offer a better performance at lower consumption. The result is that this yacht can reach similar speeds as in the past but consumes less: 35% less at 20 and 30 knots.The optimised layout in the engine room has provided the space to install 4 stabilisers for improving stabilisation when the yacht is both at anchor and under way: 50% less rolling with half metre waves. Efficiency has also been improved meaning sailing is very comfortable at low speeds, too.

Each and every owner can really decide whether to sail at high speeds or 20/30 knots with good drive efficiency and greater efficiency of consumption, without however, ever having to renounce to being comfortable on-board.
The Pumpkin yacht is proof of the shipyard’s continuous evolution, but also of its ability to understand the market and anticipate client demand.
Greater opportunities for this successful model, which can now also be proposed in an “E” (evo/evolution) version with a number of external aesthetic features.
