ABOUT THE MANDA S05:

The S05 marks the second unit built by Manda Yachts, continuing the brand’s distinctive design philosophy. This yacht is conceived to offer an immersive experience in direct contact with the sea.

The S05 introduces an original concept in both type and style, featuring an open main deck with generous indoor and outdoor living areas. At the stern, a full-beam panoramic window connects the dinette to the exterior, creating a seamless flow between yacht and nature.

One of the yacht’s key strengths is its expansive open-air spaces, typically found only on larger vessels. The design is contemporary, defined by a reverse bow that adds character and performance.

The hull lines, developed and validated through CFD analysis, ensure:
Excellent seaworthiness
A dry and stable deck
Smooth navigation even at low displacement speeds
A deep V-shaped bow allows for efficient wave cutting, while wide aft sections provide lift and reduce drag. The result is a hull that conveys strength and safety, yet remains graceful and harmonious in its lines.

The project is based on a conceptual sketch by Giovanni Ceccarelli, originally developed for the S07. It evolved through the design and engineering phases without ever losing its original essence.

All Manda Yachts are equipped with Volvo IPS propulsion systems, offering efficiency and maneuverability.
The S05 can be powered by either 2x Volvo IPS D6 650 (standard) or 2x Volvo IPS D8 850 (optional – and as fitted to VIVA).

To enhance onboard comfort, a gyroscopic stabilizer is installed, reducing roll and improving stability.

The hull is built in fiberglass, with single-skin bottom, sandwich construction for sides and deck and a superstructure laminated by infusion with carbon fibre fabrics, minimizing weight and maximizing structural integrity. The construction is carried out entirely at the Manda Yachts facility in Mondolfo, Italy, where craftsmanship and innovation come together.

PRESS REVIEWS:

This boat has a very singular design that makes it different to every other. But it is also functional and pleasant to be on when under way…

There are two Volvo D8s with IPS transmission in the engine room. The feeling you get is immediately very positive, with the hull behaving well cutting untroubled through the waves, making the boat stable, well balanced and easy to handle. The V bow is perfect as the boat doesn’t slam on the waves, even when you might expect it to. It also handles extremely well when turning, and the positive feeling is accentuated by the optimal sightlines from the helm, with a very open console that doesn’t have supports or superstructure blocking the view. You can keep an eye on everything from there.... At top speed I clocked up 28.5 knots, but I would say that the most important detail is a planning minimum of under eleven knots. And the Manda S05.3 gets out of the water while using a total of just 63.5 litres per hour. It isn’t a hull that has any problem getting on plane, which means you have a broad choice of cruising speeds, something that normally comes from powerful engines that can get the boat moving very fast but also use a lot of fuel. By contrast the Ceccarelli-designed waterlines mean you get that wide span of possible speeds without that.

It wasn’t just what was under water that struck me about the Manda S05.3. Both the deck and down below are really original, but it is important to make clear that this isn’t just a design that seeks to dazzle, and in fact it has been conceived with a particular use in mind. The reverse bow is something we could by now call a Ceccarelli bow, being a distinctive sign of the designer and something that sets it aside from other boats.

From outside the Manda S05.3 appears to have the characteristics of a fly bridge boat, and also those of an open and an explorer. The stern is a huge beach area, covering a full fifteen square metres, while you have to go up to get to the living room and the helm station. There are three steps, and it is almost as if you found yourself on a second bridge deck. The first good thing about that is the perfect sightlines from the helm station, in part because it is located higher up. The sun pads are located in this central area, and – protected by the hard top – also the sofas, dining table and kitchen unit. That immediately begs the question as to why exactly the area is raised. And the answer is that the enclosed dinette lies below it, as a full beam living space that looks onto the beach area. To get to it you just have to move the transparent pantograph door, which delivers a really unusual feeling. It is a closed and protected area, but nevertheless a very panoramic one. You are inside, but it feels as if you were outside, not least because you are at the same height as the water level. I thought about how functional it would be if there are children on board, and I saw how nice it is to sit on the sofa and watch the wake behind you when under way. And the same goes when you are at anchor.

As well as the living area there is the galley, while the master cabin – with separate bathroom and shower cubicle – is in the bow, and that too is spacious and light. A second cabin is located half-way between the owner’s area and the panoramic stern dinette. Everything makes you want to stay on board for a long time, both the qualities of the hull and the experience you get either above or below deck.
