The launch of the Monte Carlo 6 S at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September marks the success of the Beneteau premium range, created just three years ago.
Led by a unique collaboration between Beneteau’s design office – whose expertise in hull design is second to none – and the Nuvolari and Lenard duo, the brand succeeded in completely renewing the luxury codes in this segment of motor cruisers.
Directly inspired by the luxury world of the Monte Carlo Yachts brand, the Monte Carlo 6S is elegant in every respect, marrying with unparalleled refinement the timeless Monte Carlo appeal with the pleasure of an opening roof, giving her a distinctive sporty style. Boasting the best of the yacht tradition, this sports version of the splendid motor cruiser catches everyone’s eye at sea, with her attractively flared-out hull design, a surprising recess of the side windows in relation to the windshield, and round hull portholes. However, what makes her unique is her saloon integrated in the Hard-top – a real private lounge.
This exclusive space, with a luxurious lounge and large sun-loungers features a panoramic terrace with a stunning amount of space that aligns perfectly with the sporty line of this model.
Propelled by two 600 hp Cummins engines, the MC6S reaches a top speed of 28 knots and has all the torque needed for dynamic acceleration. The Zeus pod system significantly improves the boat’s performance, while delivering a 30% fuel economy, 15% faster cruising speed and a top speed 15% higher than that of a traditional shaft line system.
With this engine type the interior living spaces offer incomparable space. Combining interaction and privacy, noble materials and sumptuous finishes, the atmosphere on board is incredibly harmonious. The interior boasts an open design oozing with character, in which there is seamless communication between the galley located at the centre of the boat and the huge lounge and central driving station. There is an enormous owner suite aft, with an en-suite bathroom and a separate toilet providing privacy, all elegantly matching in a style specific to the range.
High Quality Manufacture
The Monte Carlo range capitalizes on the know-how inherited from the French workshops, combined with modern engineering and industrial processes. Beneteau has also invested heavily in its industrial tool, aiming to reduce the emission of pollutants in the atmosphere (VOCs). The recent composite transformation workshop chiefly houses non-emissive transformation processes. This composite transformation technique is called infusion. Aside from being environmentally-friendly, the weight of the boat is controlled precisely.
It also offers considerably improved working conditions. The traditional aspect is echoed in the handling of the woodwork. The interior cabinetwork is well-designed in brushed oak and the wood used for the exterior is teak, as per yachting codes and traditions. Everything on board the MC6 is the paragon of precision and top quality finish. This model embodies 130 years of expertise.
