Monte Carlo MC5 Design and Accommodation 2014- By BoatTest.com

For more reviews test data and captain's report of Monte Carlo MC5, go to http://www.boattest.com/boats/boat_video.aspx?ID=2816&ref=YT Clearly the new Monte Carlo 5 was inspired by the hatchet bows of several superyachts launched the last five years or so and the plumb bows and angular high-freeboard shapes of Wally yachts. But Groupe Beneteau has done them both one better in our opinion and produced what could be a new trend in mid-size cruising powerboats. This three-stateroom, two-head cruiser with flying bridge is powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS500s and has details and amenities intended to appeal to veteran boaters looking to move both up and down. We inspected her in January 2013 at her debut in Dusseldorf, Germany and came back with lots of pictures and some first impressions.
