49.9m Mangusta BLACK LEGEND Offered for Sale at €19.9 Million

Camper & Nicholsons is offering the 49.9-metre Mangusta 165E BLACK LEGEND for sale at €19.9 million during Monaco Yacht Show 2026. Delivered in 2017, the yacht is the penultimate hull in the 165E series and has remained with the same owner since new.

The listing combines a relatively simple ownership history with the high-speed performance that defined the Mangusta 165E platform. For buyers who want open-yacht speed without moving down into a much smaller vessel, BLACK LEGEND remains an unusual proposition in the current brokerage market.

Quad MTUs support a stated 35-knot top speed

BLACK LEGEND is powered by four MTU engines, with Camper & Nicholsons quoting a top speed of 35 knots. That performance is central to the yacht's identity because the Mangusta 165E was designed around fast Mediterranean passage-making rather than the slower long-range operating profile of a displacement yacht.

High-speed capability brings its own operating considerations, including fuel burn, machinery maintenance and the importance of stabilisation when the yacht is not moving. A buyer therefore needs to assess the full engineering history alongside the visual condition and asking price.

Four cabins keep the guest layout relatively private

The yacht accommodates eight guests in four cabins, creating a lower guest density than many 50-metre yachts with five or six staterooms. That can suit an owner who prioritises larger individual suites and social spaces over maximum overnight capacity.

Large exterior areas and the low, sporty profile reinforce the yacht's open-style character, while the interior is finished to the higher specification associated with the later 165E builds. The one-owner history may also make maintenance and modification records easier to trace during due diligence.

The €19.9m ask tests demand for large fast yachts

Fast yachts around 50 metres occupy a narrower resale market than conventional displacement vessels because their operating profile is more specialised. BLACK LEGEND's public asking price therefore provides a useful reference for buyers comparing speed, age, fuel consumption and immediate availability against newer but smaller alternatives.

The yacht is being presented during the Monaco sales season, where buyers can compare her directly with a wide range of large motor yachts. Any eventual transaction will be more informative than the asking price alone when judging how strongly the market currently values the Mangusta 165E formula.
