The luxury brand Monte Carlo Yachts (MCY) is moving into the Thailand , a major step forward for MCY in growing its presence in the Asian market. The brand, built at a state of the art facility in Monfalcone, Italy, was created by famous Italian design house Nuvolari Lenard and balances the latest technology with contemporary elegance. Since their first appearance in the Asian market two years ago, the yachts of the MCY range have already made a strong impact across the region. The largest yacht in the range, the MCY86, enjoyed its official Asian launch in Hong Kong earlier this year and the model’s spacious interior, original design and unprecedented levels of customization attracted much attention and positive feedback from those attending. The unique design and exceptional onboard luxury of these motor yachts are expected to make them popular with customers throughout Asia. The customizable design can be adapted for long-range cruising, business entertainment or family outings. “For some time, Monte Carlo Yachts has been studying the Asian market and we are excited by the opportunities we see,” said Carla Demaria, President, Monte Carlo Yachts. “We believe the timing is now right to take this step.”
This relatively new range of luxury motor yachts benefits from the unmatched industrial and financial strength of Beneteau Group, the innovative engineering and revolutionary manufacturing processes developed in the Monfalcone shipyard in Italy and the award-winning design features of Italian luxury yacht designers Nuvolari Lenard. This is a winning combination and I am confident that yacht buyers in Southeast Asia will be attracted by the stylish appearance and high quality of these Monte Carlo Yachts.” The collection currently comprises four luxury yachts: the MCY65, the MCY70, the MCY76 and the flagship MCY86, with new models already underway. Each of these yachts boasts a spacious fly bridge for relaxation at sea, as well as an elegant interior and impressive performance on the water. The yachts in the MCY range are built for entertaining and cruising but owners are also able to plan and develop design features to create a truly personal yacht that uniquely suits their planned usage.
The current flagship MCY86 boasts innovative features for a yacht of its size, including a Portuguese deck that offers a private but open living space, typically found only on super yachts. In addition, the yacht includes side balconies that can be opened to create exclusive terraces on the sea, providing guests with an uninterrupted view towards the horizon. Reflecting its luxurious heritage, the MCY86 also features interiors with fabrics and materials by designers including Hermès, Armani, Poltrona Frau and Pierre Frey. The next model in the collection, the MCY76, is a 23 meter fly bridge yacht whose stylistic features and technology create a new benchmark for luxury. Owners can take to the sea in style and safety, thanks to a self-supporting keel structure that makes extensive use of Kevlar, creating a solid but light shell. An auto-trim system helps to reduce fuel consumption, while a POD propulsion system with a multidirectional joystick, makes the yacht easy to man oeuvre.
The MCY70 continues the range’s focus on clean lines and distinctive design, with an instantly recognizable interior and the use of natural elements that have avoided artificial treatments, such as distressed teak flooring and oak and grey sycamore furnishings. The smallest yacht in the range, the MCY65, also delivers the timeless and very recognizable MCY brand style, with classic elements reinterpreted in a modern way. The yacht matches elegance with functionality, providing owners with a stunningly designed boat whose materials and finishing enhance its generously sized living spaces.
The MCY won the 2012 ‘Best Design Trophy’ at the World Yachts Trophies in Cannes.
