Boat Review: Monte Carlo MC5 by Beneteau

December 3, 2014 9:47 am

Beneteau’s newest design, the MC5, branches the gap between Beneteau Power and Monte Carlo Yachts. The combination of Italian design and French boat building has created a stunning yacht that is sure to out shine all other yachts in her class. Call Today to find out about availability of this incredible yacht.

A great boat for dock-to-dock coastal cruising and weekending

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a sixpence in her shoe. The old English rhyme details the “somethings” a bride should wear on her wedding day for good luck, and it seems Beneteau borrowed its advice — with the exception of the now-defunct sixpence — when developing the new Monte Carlo (MC) 5 , part of the builder’s line of power cruisers that addresses each point.

The MC5’s retro styling, with round portlights and a straight shear, evokes old-school design sensibilities, but at the same time it is a brand-new model with every modern amenity and advanced technology available. Its Italian flare and luxury finish were borrowed from Beneteau’s upscale line of Monte Carlo Yachts (MCY), 65 feet and larger . And while you don’t have to choose a blue hull, it looks good.

Monte Carlo is a line of mid-range power cruisers created to bring the MCY line below 65 feet and bridge the gap between Beneteau’s GT series and the upscale MCY, which reaches into superyacht territory. With 40 and 50-footers already launched and a 60-footer on the drawing board, Beneteau hopes to cover all segments of a diverse market with the MC series.

Construction & Design

Seen from the front, the 49-foot MC5 has a distinctive, wine glass–shaped bow with a deep V and hard chines that lead aft. Above that, the bow flares dramatically as if to catch up with the on-deck beam above. However, go aft and you’ll find a relatively flat transom with only a 15-degree deadrise. The hull shape accomplishes three things:

1. It keeps the bow driving forward by splitting waves instead of pounding down onto them, thereby minimizing spray on deck.

2. It keeps the aft end of the boat from rolling.

3. It adds lift and efficiency.

Naval architects Le Bihan and Tableau also gave the balsa-cored hull a beamy fore-section and nearly straight hull sides, so the beam at the waterline is almost what it is on deck, which creates the tremendous interior living volume.

The Great Outdoors

The MC5 is available in a hardtop or flybridge version, and for my money, the flybridge can’t be beat. It’s as if there’s a whole boat’s worth of space planted right on top of the boat itself. Ascend the teak-covered steps (with storage inside), and you’ll come up to a U-shaped settee that will seat eight around a teak dining table.

The seating continues on the port side with forward- and aft-facing benches that can be joined to form a double sunpad or used for companion seating across from the helm. The single helm seat to starboard is adjustable, and the dash includes a single multifunction display, a joystick and engine controls, a compass, and various other smaller displays and switches. A wraparound reverse windshield keeps the spray away from the driver. Visibility is good in all directions except to the aft corners, which is why a third helm station in the aft cockpit below may be a good option if you often back into a slip. Just aft of the helm seat is a cabinet with an optional galley module that includes a Kenyon electric grill, a sink and an ice-maker.

If it’s too windy to cook up top, you can still enjoy an outdoor grill on the more protected aft cockpit. The top of the transom has a compartment that can be used either for small storage or an outdoor galley with a Kenyon grill, a sink and a food-prep area.

Impeccable Interior

Like many of the other latest designs, the MC5’s interior starts in the exterior, as the cockpit joins the galley and salon when the large glass and stainless steel doors are folded outward on both port and starboard. The galley is all the way aft, so you can easily serve dinner outside or in, and it is somewhat customizable in that additional overhead cabinets may be added, creating room for added refrigeration or a dishwasher below the counters. An electric stove and a large sink are standard, while a microwave is an option. Countertop space is limited, but if you’re already cooking in two other areas, it’ll do nicely.

Step up to the port-side dinette where six can gather around a folding table. To starboard is a straight sofa directly aft of the helm seat. So in all, almost a dozen people can be seated. A 32-inch popup flat-screen TV behind the starboard sofa will make watching movies fun, and even the cook will be able to see the screen from the galley. Headroom in the salon is a comfortable 6 feet, 6 inches, which gives the interior an open and airy feel.

With Nuvolari & Lenard Italian styling, Monte Carlo hints at what the MCY line promises. Surfaces padded with fabric and leather deaden sound, while lacquered cabinetry adds light. The finish is brushed oak, which is light and heavily textured and alternates nicely with the smooth leather accents that abound. Multiple fabrics in contrasting light and dark colors and varied textures add depth and dimension, so the eye lingers on fine details such as perfect stitching and leather-wrapped handholds and cabinet pulls.

At the Helm

Another step up takes you to the inside helm station to starboard. The slight elevation helps with the headroom in the cabin below but retains enough overhead space that the driver can stand up if needed. The dash is well laid out with room for two optional Simrad NSS 12-inch multifunction displays, a Volvo Penta EVC screen, and assorted controls and displays for the autopilot, bow thruster and, of course, the IPS joystick. The window outboard opens, so air is plentiful and communication with anyone on deck or the dock is easy. The helm seat is doublewide with storage underneath, and just to port, underneath the giant one-piece windshield, is storage for charts and cruising guides.

Sleep Tight

However the MC5 will be used most, it would be a shame not to overnight on it, given the sumptuous staterooms. The layout includes three cabins and two heads, so six can sleep in private comfort, but that’s only the beginning. The full-beam master stateroom is a suite with a generously proportioned bed with a padded headboard and good headroom. In fact, due to the stepped salon above, the headroom all around the bed is 6 feet, 1 inch. Lounges to port and starboard invite you to sit with a book and look out the oversized, fixed, round portlights with opening round ports embedded within.

The master bath — and that’s a better term for it than head — has a vessel sink and a large separate shower stall with a slatted teak seat. There is an opening port in the head, but only one and not in the shower area, so it may get a bit steamy. An electric VacuFlush head is standard. The large stateroom doesn’t feel buried within the vessel, and together with the head, it forms a space plush enough to entice you to linger in the morning before heading topside.

The forward VIP stateroom is defined by light, with four round opening portlights and a deck hatch overhead, and the third stateroom has over/under bunks and locker space at the foot of the beds.

Performance

The MC5 is a pod-driven boat, which is good in multiple ways. First, the pods move the engines far aft, creating more interior space for the master stateroom. Second, engine noise is moved farther away from the living spaces. And finally, docking a boat with pod drives and joystick control is a breeze and builds confidence, even in new skippers.

The standard engines are twin Volvo Penta IPS500 370 hp diesels, but you can upgrade to IPS 600s that have 435 hp. The upgrade provides only a knot or two of speed at the top end, but it may help if the boat will be pushing into heavy head seas. The engine space is accessed via a hatch in the aft cockpit sole, and there is plenty of room in the machinery space for the optional generator and extra batteries if the four service batteries (140 aH each) are not enough, although there’s no reason they shouldn’t be.

In the bay of Palma de Mallorca, Spain, we took the MC5 out for a spin on a sunny day with 1 to 2 feet of wind chop and 10 knots of breeze. The boat came up on plane at 16 to 17 knots and did so without fuss. The ride was so smooth we didn’t really notice how fast we were moving until we reached a cruising speed of 18 to 20 knots. Wide open in those conditions, the boat zipped along at 23 knots. Fuel tankage is 344 gallons, which is plenty for point-to-point coastal cruising.

The next day, we tried the same in 15 knots of wind and a 3-foot chop. There was little difference except that we reached 21.8 knots against the wind. The sharp bow split the waves and wasn’t bothered in the least, even in wakes that came broadside. The hydraulic steering was smooth, and there was little roll as we sat idling, waiting for the photo boat to catch up.

Unexpected Finds

You can’t overlook two essential add-ons offered with the MC5, which are meant to ease your movement on water and land. First, the official dinghy for the MC5 is the Williams Tender 285 jet boat (although you can choose a traditional RIB). According to Beneteau, 20 percent of new boat owners in this class want additional water toys such as PWCs but also need a tender, and the quandary is where to store both. Voila. The Williams fiberglass tender can pull double duty. It is an 80 hp jetboat shaped like an inflatable dinghy, but it can reach 35 to 40 knots. It has a tow ring to pull wakeboarders and enough room to get the whole crew to shore; plus, a custom cradle can be mounted on the MC5’s hydraulic swim platform. The jetboat costs $34,000, but since it’s a PWC and a dinghy in one, that’s not bad. You can also have it customized to match your MC5’s hull color.

Once you get to land, run around on the Beneteau-branded Mondo Footloose electric bike. It has a lithium battery, so you can pedal or ride in style up to 28 mph. A charge will last 45 to 60 minutes depending on your speed and terrain. It folds into a small package and can be stored in the huge lazarette in the MC5’s transom. It comes in several colors and offers options such as an upgraded seat and storage panniers. The bike will set you back $5,000-plus but hey, if you’re set on arriving in style, why lose that momentum when you reach the dock?

Monte Carlo 5S

• Description
• Main Points
• Specifications

When the Beneteau brand unites its expertise with the greatest Italian designers, it reinvents the motor cruiser concept.  Although she boasts all the attributes of the premium range, the Monte Carlo 5 S stands apart for her boldly sporty profile and a hardtop with an outdoor lounge.

Exterior design

With a dynamic silhouette, slender bow and high-performance hull, the Monte Carlo 5S distinguishes itself in any sea conditions it meets. Driven by 2 Volvo IPS 600 engines, this motor cruiser is both sporty and refined, combining good power with incredible manoeuvrability. The unique hardtop lounge area on the Monte Carlo 5S is the hallmark of a luxury yacht.

Interior design

Seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces, the main deck features a sunroof, which opens above the driving station. The interior saloon is a very well-ventilated, elegant and comfortable living space. The lower deck boasts three cabins with en-suite shower rooms fitted out elegantly with attention to detail. Highly customizable, the Monte Carlo 5S is as charming in a modern light brushed oak ambiance as it is in a warmer matt walnut.

Lounge attitude

The magnificent interiors, private lounge, sporty profile and agility of the Monte Carlo 5 S make her a stunningly elegant ode to pleasure.

Terrace lounge

The Monte Carlo 5S has a genuine lounge in the hardtop area. Converting into a huge sunbathing area for four, this space is unique in its kind, equipped with an audio system, refrigerator and a canvas awning.

The Monte Carlo 5S offers a choice between two cabinetwork atmospheres: brushed oak or mat walnut. Combined with impeccable finishes - cream padding with bronze reflections, brown soft touch finish and overstitched wine-coloured leather – these two woodwork options offer harmoniously attractive interiors.

Night spaces

Below deck, the two extremely luxurious cabins have en-suite bathrooms with separate showers.  The master suite aft is beam-wide and splendid hull portholes flooding the interior with soft light – a characteristic feature of the Monte Carlo range.  The bed layout in the spacious, comfortable and elegant VIP suite to the bow can be adapted in two different ways. 

Steering station

Equipped with the latest large SIMRAD screens, the steering station enjoys perfect visibility thanks to a single-piece windshield. Designed for the Monte Carlo range, the tanned leather driver’s seat is extremely beautiful and its comfort is second to none.

The Must-Visit Spots in Monte Carlo During the Monaco Yacht Show

A highlight of monaco’s social calendar, the principality turns into a playground for the yachting and design world during the glitzy, four-day event kicking off september 25.

The Monaco Yacht Show is the principality’s glamorous unofficial season closer. Superyachts cruising the Mediterranean throughout the summer make their way back from Croatia or Porto Cervo, Sardinia, and dot the French Riviera coastline like a constellation of stars while a steady stream of helicopters whir overhead.

During the September 25 through 28 event, 120-plus boats from elite builders and brokers will be on display in Port Hercule. A who’s who representing shipyards, designers, brokerage houses, and owners flock to the principality to see the best superyachts in the world and latest designs. Not to be missed is this year’s most expensive superyacht bearing a $327 million price tag. “Monaco Yacht Show is one of the biggest events in Monaco’s social calendar, perhaps second only to the Grand Prix weekend,” says Sara Gioanola, PR and press office manager of Heesen Yachts .

Below, an insider’s guide to the top places to dine, drink, dance, and, eventually, call it a night, during the Monaco Yacht Show.

L’Abysse Monte Carlo

This summer, gastronomic great Yannick Alléno and renowned sushi master Yasunari Okazaki transported their sushi counter concept L’Abysse Monte-Carlo to Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo , where it neighbors Michelin-starred Pavyllon Monte-Carlo, a restaurant by Yannick Alléno . Working with the four elements (fire, earth, water, and air) and seasonal ingredients from around Monaco and the Mediterranean, the duo crafted a menu of haute Japanese cuisine that unfolds around a 10-seat sushi counter. “In Paris, we learned to work together, using our respective expertise to create a unique experience and earn two Michelin stars,” Okazaki tells Galerie . “In Monaco, the idea is not to duplicate the concept, but to create an entirely new menu inspired by the local terroir.”

Working together with Paris architecture and design studio RoWin’ Atelier , Galerie Scene Ouverte’s founder, Laurence Bonnel, wanted to translate the restaurant’s concept—a powerful yet delicate blend of French cuisine and Japanese culinary traditions—into the décor. A centerpiece indigo carpet inspired by the dye produced on the Japanese island of Shikoku sprawls across the bright, light-drenched space, illuminated by artist Célia Bertrand’s duo of 6.5-foot-long raw porcelain white gold light fixtures. William Coggins’ large-scale, white ceramic Coral Wall installations, which resemble sand dunes and coral lining the ocean floor, are pieced together like tile on one wall, while four of French artist Caroline Désile’s Japanese-inspired sculptures from her Série Origami collection sit opposite, playing on the theme of light and shadow.

The first international outpost of the Dubai-based haute Greek concept couldn’t be in a better location, unfolding on the edge of Monte Carlo’s Casino Square. A twist on a classic taverna, GAIA Monte-Carlo feels like it was plucked from one of the Greek islands. In Monaco, GAIA’s intimate rooms and covered terrace have become a local favorite just as much for people-watching as staples like honey-drizzled grilled feta and black truffle-infused tiropita, or phyllo cheese pie.

Part deux of the concept debuted this year when private members’ club NYX Monte-Carlo opened around the corner. The intimate venue exudes boudoir, Parisian vibes (plush red velvet couches, tasseled table lamps) with the glitz you’d expect from Monaco thanks to statement pieces like a bronze Nicola Rosini Di Santi sculpture—plus DJs (and big-name producers) spinning a curated selection of house and afro beats late into the evening.

Amazónico Monte Carlo

After a nearly two-year, $61 million renovation, legendary Café de Paris , the 150-year-old brasserie sitting across from the Belle Époque Casino de Monte-Carlo, reopened its doors in the fall. This spring, it welcomed the finishing touch—the lively Latin American-inspired restaurant and club Amazónico . The Amazon rainforest is the central thread for everything, from the tropical-style décor dreamt up by Lázaro Rosa-Violán to petiscos (small plates) like Peruvian corn bread with lobster and caviar and wagyu beef and black truffle cream empanadas. Take a seat on the rooftop terrace at sunset for one of the best views over Casino Square while live bands serenade in the background with jazz, bossa nova, and Cuban beats.

Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac

Within nine months of opening at Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo in the Jacques Garcia-designed space formerly helmed by Joël Robuchon, Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac was awarded two Michelin stars. Cooking his way from Burgundy to Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Monaco in the Côte d’Azur, the namesake chef has spent nearly the past three decades perfecting his Riviera-influenced cuisine. “I learned and got inspired by the sauces, fish, olive oil—everything particular to Mediterranean cuisine, since it’s very different here than what you’ll find in Burgundy,” he explains.

Anchored by an open kitchen, the elegant ivory- and gold-toned space reflects the chef’s refined, lighter fare—which can be savored in the form a 13-course, tasting menu. Tables are dressed with eye-catching, sculptural amber handblown glass plates by Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert, which beautifully complement dishes like the gold leaf-topped seam bream tartare and caviar cannelloni.

Where to Stay for the Ultimate Monaco Experience

Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo  

The grande dame Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo , a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, and neighboring casino helped position the principality as the luxury destination it is today. While it’s in good company with a few other five-star spots within walking distance, the Hôtel de Paris is arguably the most glamorous to post up in—especially during an event like the Monaco Yacht Show.

When the 209-room hotel reopened six years ago after a full, $280 million renovation, its fresh face proved exactly what Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer founder François Blanc hoped to achieve when it was built 160 years ago— “a hotel that surpasses everything created up to now.” With the addition of the two-bedroom, 5,651-square-foot Prince Rainier III Suite , the largest in the hotel, that goal is certainly achieved, especially when you glance out at the glittering casino and parade of luxury cars from the terrace’s heated infinity pool.

The 11 Most Exciting Superyacht Debuts at the Monaco Yacht Show

This year's newbies range from a 400-footer that charters for $3.25 million per week to multiple hybrid yachts, including one that runs on methanol., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

The Monaco Yacht Show always promises a stellar lineup— last year had an unusually large number of wild launches—and this time around will be no exception. More than 120 superyachts, including 20-plus that measure 200 feet and above, will be on the docks at Port Hercule, with beautiful Monte Carlo in the hills above.

Among the fleet of anticipated launches is the 400-foot Kismet . Built by Lürssen and launched earlier this year, this stunner will be shown before the winter charter season, at a weekly rate of $3.25 million. The vessel is sure to stand out, thanks to the large silver jaguar sculpture fitted under its bowsprit.

Besides bling, showgoers will notice the concerted push toward sustainability this year. Rossinavi has introduced the Seawolf X , its first hybrid-electric catamaran, and Nautor Swan’s sailing maxi yacht, DreamCatcher , is also its first hybrid. Sanlorenzo is launching Almax , its first 50-meter (165-foot) vessel with hydrogen fuel cells. It was developed with Siemens Energy.

Siemens is also sponsoring the show’s Sustainability Hub, which has become a breeding ground for eco-friendly concepts and new ideas to promote a greener superyacht sector. This year’s conference will cover alternative propulsion, outlining how it will be adopted over the next five years. The show’s Yacht Design & Innovation Hub takes a less technical approach to sustainability. It’s the place where leading designers and mainstream innovators converge, presenting vessels that will shape the future of superyacht design.

Here are 11 must-see boats at this year’s show.

Lürssen ‘Kismet’

The 400-foot Kismet is the most anticipated boat on display at Monaco this year. True to form, Shahid Khan’s third Lürssen, which charters for $3.25 million per week, will be an exceptional landmark in a marina of superyachts. Alongside its Nemo lounge for viewing marine life, a Balinese-inspired spa with the first chromotherapy bathtub on a yacht, and upper-deck dining options for 24 people, the vessel has a duplex owner’s apartment with two separate marbled bathrooms, a fireplace, and gilded wall coverings. When guests have had their fill of the DJ station and Bogányi piano, the ’80s retro matrix dance floor should keep the party going.

Royal Huisman ‘Special One’

Set to make a splash is Royal Huisman’s 171-foot Special One , the largest sportfisherman in the world. Commissioned by an experienced yachtsman and passionate fisherman, the monster sportfish is kitted out with a fighting chair, 22 fishing rods, insulated cooler boxes, and a dedicated bait-and-tackle room. The teak foredeck can transition into a sheltered private lounge area and also converts to an outdoor cinema. Designed by Vripack, the vessel offers up proportions and seakeeping capabilities that are matched by its impressive 30-knot top speed.

Rossinavi ‘Seawolf X’

Looming large above the water, the 140-foot Seawolf X is Rossinavi’s most ambitious build to date. The hybrid-electric catamaran is the Italian shipyard’s first multihull, which can stay in electric mode during transatlantic trips for 80 percent of the time. Even more impressive is the onboard artificial intelligence system—Rossinavi AI—which analyses the operation of the vessel, predicts the needs of guests and optimizes crew service and logistics. The interior is designed by New York-based Meyer Davis, with an exterior penned by Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design. Its wow features include a cockpit centered around a pool, a second hidden pool on the bow area, and an outdoor cinema.

Bilgin ‘Eternal Spark’

Eternal Spark is the first hull in Bilgin’s 163 series. In addition to six outdoor and three indoor lounge areas, the yacht can host over 100 people while at anchor from its five dedicated bar areas. Hot Lab’s use of wood inlays and embossed natural leather create a refined interior aesthetic, while the combination of a huge beach club, sauna, pool, and two cinemas—outdoor and indoor—should keep guests happy. Built with over 200 different materials, it shows how advanced the Turkish yard has become with its last few launches.  

Sanlorenzo ‘Almax’

Sanlorenzo’s first fuel-cell-powered 50Steel model joins a growing list of yacht launches exploring alternative power sources. The fuel-cell technology converts biomethanol (green methanol) into enough electricity to cover the hotel load so the yacht can anchor all night without generators. Almax also has Sanlorenzo’s newly patented Hidden Engine Room (HER), located on the lower deck. This novel configuration creates enough interior volume to include a 1,615-square-foot beach club with a pool and unfolding sea terraces, while keeping the yacht below 500GT. The shipyard has confirmed the sale of four units to date.

Custom Line50

Making its global debut a Monaco, the four-decked Custom Line50 is the Italian shipyard’s new flagship model. The dedicated owner’s apartment on the upper deck includes full-height windows, a full-beam suite, and a large private terrace. The sun deck’s lounge seating, cocktail bar, uninterrupted views, and glass-edged infinity pool amplify the sense of being on a floating island. It’s an effective design that is replicated on the main aft deck. This area offers stepped access to the sea, a scenario that is reinforced by an aquamarine-and-cream interior color scheme.

Damen ‘Five Oceans’

The newest model from Damen’s Yacht Support 53 range, Five Oceans was built for Tommy Allen, an entrepreneur committed to ocean exploration and marine conservation. The vessel will be easy to spot in Monaco’s Port Hercules, thanks to its powder-blue, orange, and white hull. The custom build is Allen’s second yacht-support vessel from Damen. It has a sprawling aft deck to carry toys and tenders as well as a 15-ton deck crane for the launch and recovery of the electric boats and Triton 3300 Pro submersible. Five Oceans also carries an Icon A5 amphibious aircraft.

Tankoa ‘Diamond Binta’

Conceived as a world explorer, Tankoa’s 190-foot Diamond Binta blends a hybrid propulsion package with high-gloss finishes over a wooden interior. Penned by Francesco Paszkowski, Tankoa’s long-time design collaborator, the full custom build has an owner’s suite with a fold-out balcony, a forward helideck for shore-based excursions, a large beach club with a spa, and massage room as well as a sundeck with a gym and pool. A corridor on the lower deck connects the yacht’s five guest cabins to the beach area, passing through a viewable engine room.

Nautor Swan ‘DreamCatcher’

As Nautor Swan’s first hybrid yacht, the 88-foot DreamCatcher is described by the shipyard as a “no-compromise cruiser with a racer’s soul.” Designed for guest comfort with a maximum heeling angle of 20 degrees, its exterior is penned by veteran Swan designer Germán Frers, while the light-wood interior with gray accents is done by Misa Poggi. The aft cockpit has a new coachroof design with an integrated sprayhood, bimini, and modular benches that can be used for both lounging and dining. The stern area incorporates a large beach club area and tender garage. On the foredeck is the “sunset lounge.”

Oceanco ‘H3’

Built in 2000 as 312-foot Al Mirqab for a member of the Qatari royal family, the renovated H3 emerged from Oceanco’s facilities in 2023 looking brand new, with an extra 476 gross tons of internal volume. The vessel’s 33-foot extension—to accommodate the owner’s request for an infinity pool with a convertible dance floor and waterfall—and a fully replaced superstructure were enough for Lloyd’s Register to classify the yacht as a new build. A spa on the lower deck has a hammam, a sensory shower, a hair salon, and treatment rooms. The beach club with its rippled mirror ceiling offers stepped access to the sea.

Conrad ‘Extra Time’

Extra Time , the second hull in Conrad’s C144 series, has an exterior by Reymond Langton Design and naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design. The interior is by M2 Atelier. Much like its sistership Ace , Extra Time has a beach club, four guest lounge areas, a cinema, two bars and an infinity pool. Standout personal touches include an attention-grabbing King Kong  sculpture in the main salon and the main-deck owner’s suite that’s accessed via a private study with an electric piano.
