Venice has added fascination to the event and has underlined, with its unique and unmistakeable features, the fundamental values of the Monte Carlo Yachts project.
First and foremost its very Italian nature and the ability to build bridges between different cultures. Venice is, in fact, a gateway between East and West, between the Mediterranean and continental Europe. It is its genuine sea-going soul that combines so well with the desire of Monte Carlo Yachts to build boats made to really sail. And, to give one more example, the talent of unifying the practical approach of getting things done and the spirit of research and absolute elegance

"Don't call ours a dream, call it a vision," says Carla Demaria, President of Monte Carlo Yachts. "Behind every success story there is always a powerful dream, but we prefer to call it vision. A vision is the art of seeing what it is invisible to others, but to deliver results, the vision needs to be converted into a strategy, and the strategy deployed into a plan of action. 80 is our new goal, that is the MCY 80s campaign claim, and it is a fitting motto for the way Monte Carlo Yachts operates."
It is as simple as this: a dream has been the most powerful driver in our new adventure but our solidity and concrete approach has brought us where we are today," added Fabrizio Iarrera, Managing Director of Monte Carlo Yachts.

Monte Carlo Yachts has choosen Venice to unveil its latest project: the new MCY 105, a 32-metre yacht that marks a new, important chapter in the history of the Franco-Italian company. Carla Demaria, President of Monte Carlo Yachts said:
The unveiling of the MCY 105 coincides with Monte Carlo Yachts’ fifth Anniversary, a moment marked by important achievements to date, and a turning point, a milestone, for what’s to come. We are back in Venice where it all started to demonstrate that we kept our promises and more. We started from scratch during the global financial crisis with a clear mission, to expand Group Bénéteau’s presence by successfully entering the over 20mt motor yacht sector. Not an easy job. We knew we needed to become a reference in our industry through a simple strategy:
we didn’t want to built luxury yachts, we wanted to built
excellent yachts.
The MCY 105 is the best expression of our vision and the most tangible exemplification to date of this strategy.
Monte Carlo Yachts’ signature, evocative style has been awarded once again with a prestigious international prize. The new MCY 105 flagship has been recognised as the “Most Innovative” yacht in the 80’ - 120’ segment during the “Invictus Yacht Trophies” Awards Gala at the 2015 Cannes Yachting Festival.
The Innovation in a Production Process Award is part of the prestigious new Boat Builder Awards for business achievement, organised jointly by IBI magazine and METS. The awards recognise individual and team success within boat building companies globally across six categories of business achievement. Specifically, the IBI-METS panel found that:
Monte Carlo Yachts’ modular construction system is a game-changer for the industry. Building superstructure, deck and interior in parallel modules, enabling the Italian builder to cut construction times by up to 50%. Ultimately Monte Carlo Yacht’s ability to construct interiors outside of the boat on a grid system not only greatly simplifies the build process, but also encourages more exact levels of finish, enabling much greater levels of customisation-in essence Monte Carlo Yachts has cracked the code of building semi-custom boats on a full scale series production line. Its latest MCY 105 bares testimony to a builder redefining the rules.
Fabrizio Iarrera, Managing Director of Monte Carlo Yachts said:
We’ve kept our promise and have grown from a turnover of €3 million in our first year to €58 million; we now employ more than 300 people where we started with a team of just 20. We intend to keep on growing and look forward to the next five years with excitement. We’re considering the Super Yacht category next, which we feel to be the natural evolution of the design and product path we’ve taken.
Monte Carlo Yachts has announced Skylounge: a new range that further builds on the brighter and larger volumes of MCYs’ second generation.
The new Collection strengthens the yard’s distinctive close relationship between the individual and the sea through new key features such as the wide and customizable enclosed Flybridge, which is available for the first time on an Italian-crafted yacht. The first yacht in the range will be the MCY 70 Skylounge, on show at the Miami Yacht Show in February and will be followed by the other Skylounge models later in the season.
Monte Carlo Yachts begins the new year with a strong showing at international boating awards in Asia as well as in Europe just as the Italian yacht builder announces the new Skylounge range, which further builds on the strengths and unique features of the MCYs’ award-winning second generation Collection.
To celebrate ten years of successes and visionary technological breakthrough, Monte Carlo Yachts proudly decided to unveil for the first time images and accurate descriptions of its manufacturing process and naval architecture that have revolutionized the yachting industry.
Recognized since the beginning as one of the company’s major strengths, the shipyard’s modular construction process allows the company to increase quality being more responsive and dynamic towards the global market. But innovation is not linked just to the process itself, Monte Carlo Yachts went much further revolutionizing the yacht’s naval architecture. This solution becomes the essential instrument to make modular construction possible and improves the technical characteristics of the hull structures to much higher quality levels.
Monte Carlo Yachts celebrates its tenth anniversary. Founded in late 2008, Monte Carlo Yachts is a pioneering company in the yachting world born from the intuition of combining the best of Made in Italy with the industrial know-how of Beneteau Group. “When we started we had an ambitious vision and a long road ahead of us. We wanted to redefine the meaning of luxury, which is first and foremost value. It was just the right time to put luxury back in tune with our most authentic needs: time, space, silence, well-being and harmony” says Carla Demaria, MCY President.
Over the course of a decade, Monte Carlo Yachts has developed a range of iconic models brought to life by the very effective partnership with Nuvolari Lenard design studio, creators of many outstanding megayachts cruising around the world.
