Spotlight: Monte Carlo 52
The new Monte Carlo 52 marks the introduction of the second generation of high-end motor yachts by Beneteau.
This elegant contemporary cruiser made in France is more than 16 metres long and boasts enhanced spaces, light and comfort.
This stylish flybridge powerboat has inherited all the signature features of Beneteau’s range: modern design, elegant lines, distinctive character, well-used spaces and a careful focus on details, not to mention the iconic large porthole, distinguishing the 15m (50’) to 18m (60’) class of yachts.
The MC52 is stunningly bright. With an unparalleled area of 20m2, the glass side windows completely flood the living spaces of the main deck bringing the outside in.
On either side of the huge windshield, the two side windows open to improve ventilation.
The galley is well-sited aft, connecting with the cockpit. When the large sliding glass door is open, this creates a wonderfully seamless indoor and outdoor space
With a versatile 15-degree Vee hull, the bow is beautifully flared, cutting through the sea with ease and providing excellent protection from spray. Equipped with a choice of 2 x Volvo IPS 600 or 650, the Monte Carlo 52 reaches peak speeds of 27 knots
The large flybridge has the fitted galley, a lounge space for eight guests, a large starboard bench, the forward L-shaped co-pilot’s seat and the driving station to port. An optional T-top with an electric sunroof protects the open-air space offering some privacy, without detracting from the sleek lines of the Monte Carlo 52.
The master cabin is generously roomy at 16.5 m2 and has a separate entry, large rectangular windows, an ensuite shower room and a spacious wardrobe. Compared with other yachts of the same class, the cabin punches well above its weight
