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.

The Erie Canal – An Extraordinary Waterway

By Mark Stevens

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
