Just launched: The Monte Carlo 52
Nov 21, 2019
To much fanfare, the new Monte Carlo 52 was launched at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2019 this fall. This 50-foot high-end motor yacht is eagerly awaited and will introduce the Monte Carlo “Smart Luxury” generation. The stylish flybridge powerboat has inherited all the superb signature features of a successful range: modern design, elegant lines, distinctive character, incredibly well-used spaces and a careful focus on details, not to mention the iconic large porthole, distinguishing the 15 m (50’) to 18 m (60’) class of yachts made in Vendée. The Monte Carlo 52 has greatly improved all these features. Her distinctive style is the work of a team of world-famous architects and designers: Carlo Nuvolari & Dan Lenard for the exterior line, Andréani Design for the interior accommodation.
The new Monte Carlo 52 is 16.25 metres long and has a beam of 4.6 metres. This makes her bigger and beamier than the Monte Carlo 5, the earlier model in the line she replaces. Her tapered pro le is accentuated by soft owing lines and the aerodynamic shape of the wheelhouse, creating a harmonious effect enhanced by a stylish contrast between the matt tint of the huge windows and the light colours of the hull, the elegant coachroof, and the perfectly proportioned flybridge.
The galley is well-situated aft connecting with the cockpit. When the large sliding glass door is open this creates a wonderfully seamless indoor and outdoor space. The same fresh, chic, minimalist atmosphere features in the lounge, with a comfy sofa to port around a table seating up to six guests. Facing it is a double bench and a lifting 40” TV screen. On either side of the huge windshield, the two side windows open to improve ventilation.
The master cabin is generously roomy at 16.5 m2 and has a separate entry, large rectangular windows, an ensuite shower room and a spacious wardrobe. Compared with other yachts of the same class, the cabin punches well above its weight. Similarly, the forward VIP cabin is also incredibly roomy with large portholes. Guests can soak up the night sky at sea and watch the stars through the glass deck hatches just over the double island bed. The guest cabin to starboard has twin berths converting to a double berth. At once luxurious and practical, the open spaces of the flybridge are the ideal place to unwind. Enjoy stress-free life in the open air with lounge space for eight guests, a large starboard bench with a reclining back, the forward L-shaped co-pilot’s seat and the driving station to port. An optional T-top with an electric sunroof protects the open air space offering some privacy, without detracting from the sleek lines.
The new elegant, luxurious, contemporary, spacious and bright Monte Carlo 52 marks the introduction of the “Smart Luxury” generation of high-end cruisers by BENETEAU.
