MCY 80

A close-up and personal look at the MCY 80.
  • By Jason Y. Wood
  • February 13, 2017

MCY 80

The proportions of the MCY 80 in profile makes us think this may be
the best looking introduction from Monte Carlo Yachts yet.

MCY 80

The foredeck is not just the pretty face of the MCY 80, this is a useful space with plenty of room to lounge.

MCY 80

The versatile foredeck puts everyone in a fresh breeze at anchor, and makes for privacy when Med-moored.

MCY 80

The finish of the foredeck is merely a harbinger of things to come as one delves deeper into the well-thought-out details on the sophisticated MCY 80.

MCY 80

Her substantial size and layout belie a spirited performer that topped out at 30 knots on our sea trial.

MCY 80

The large footprint manifests itself on the flying bridge of the MCY 80.

MCY 80

A carbon-fiber hardtop opens wide, giving occupants in the numerous seating areas a choice of sun or shade.

MCY 80

The engine room is substantial and positioned far aft, thanks to V-drive transmissions.
The tender garage juts into space above the engines.

MCY 80

A smoked-glass fashion plate aft supports the flying bridge but also helps break the design into digestible parts.

MCY 80

Separate dining and seating areas make the most of main-deck space on the MCY 80.

MCY 80

A huge seating area and port side credenza make the most of onboard space, but Monte Carlo Yachts will customize the interior to any owners’ liking.

MCY 80

The lower helm of the MCY 80 is a true command center for all yacht systems.

MCY 80

A comfy dinette provides companion seating for the lower helm.

MCY 80

A cutout in the bulwarks makes for better views through the large sliding side door, and lightens the weight of the profile.

MCY 80

The galley down makes for a separate space for crew to work its magic for onboard gatherings.

MCY 80

The master suite on the MCY 80 has the space and comfort level of that of a larger yacht.

MCY 80

The forepeak VIP stateroom offers loads of stowage and is a comfortable escape for guests.

MCY 80

A guest double makes the most of main-deck space between the master and VIP.

MCY 80

A finely finished passageway and a glimpse of the fourth stateroom on the MCY 80 remind one that design flexibility is a hallmark of the Monte Carlo Yachts brand.

MCY 80

The twin-berth double does not disappoint.

MCY 80

The Monte Carlo Yachts overlapping-circle side-window design has become a telltale symbol of sophistication.

MCY 80

An overhead view of the boat underway gives greater understanding to the proportions of her shape and how her various parts work together.

MCY 80

Note how far aft that flying bridge is positioned to preserve the yacht’s sleek profile, yet it has plenty of room for family and friends.

MCY 80

As the MCY 80 departs for her next adventures along the shores of America and beyond, we’ll be watching to see what new permutations evolve from this semi-custom build.

The modern vessel features sweeping dark-tinted hull windows, a large sunpad on the bow deck, and a hardtop roof with an open sunroof. The boat carves smoothly through the sea, casting a crisp reflection on the water's surface to starboard while leaving a powerful, foaming white wake trailing behind its teak-planked swim platform.
