New to Canada – Parker Monaco

June 11, 2020

Monaco 110 – fast pleasure cruiser with outboard motor and two cabins.

A new class for this new Parker Monaco range, the first 37-foot outboard cruiser in the new Parker range was designed by Tony Castro Yacht Design. This latest generation cruiser equipped with Yamaha outboard engines offers exceptional performance and an unrivalled weight / power ratio!

A generous amount of living space

The Monaco cabin offers ample space, plenty of seating, and a well-equipped kitchen. A door to the cockpit provides additional access to the freeboard and a large sliding glass sunroof creates a light and airy atmosphere. The spacious bathroom with shower offers a light and airy space for a 37-foot boat. The Monaco is a comfortable pleasure cruiser, its well-designed cabins are spacious, and their finish is magnificent.

Parker Monaco SundeckThe Parker Monaco is fitted with a convertible sundeck at the rear, mounted on a slide and which covers the motors. It is then possible to move it as desired, depending on whether the engines are raised or lowered, which provides both a large living space and exceptional soundproofing, significantly reducing the noise level in the cockpit.
It also has a triple wide sundeck at the front, with two reclining side spaces, built-in cup holders and practical handles for stability when traveling.

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
