Charter a Mangusta 105 in Mandelieu-la-Napoule

Give the aft deck a purpose

The foredeck offers a separate lounging setting, while the saloon provides an indoor alternative nearby. That spread of spaces is useful when guests want different things from the same charter.

Some may prefer shade and a long lunch; others may value the sunpads. Instead of filling the itinerary with moves, allow the yacht a sustained period at a suitable anchorage. The fitted table and service arrangement should be checked against the number dining, rather than inferred from the hull length.

Four cabins still need a closer look

The cited 105 examples have four guest cabins, with differing bed combinations. One regional reference lists three doubles and a twin; another charter example uses a master, VIP and two twins. Both are four-cabin yachts, but they suit different groups.

For a stay aboard, send a simple allocation of couples, friends and children. Ask for the current plan and interior photographs before settling the cabin choice. Established 105s have also undergone individual refits, so decor and equipment should be read as details of the offered yacht.

A model guide cannot turn one example’s refit into a promise for every vessel.

A larger yacht can make a simpler day

A Lérins lunch with an open afternoon can be a complete charter, particularly when the party wants to spend time together rather than see several ports. An Estérel programme can work with the same unhurried approach, giving the coastline its own passage before the stop. For a yacht of this size, confirm the exact boarding berth and any positioning arrangement before guests organise transfers.

If a shore meal is essential, the tender or landing plan needs a place in the schedule. It is better to know how the group reaches the table ashore than to rely on a nearby place name in the itinerary.
