Beneteau announces new Monte Carlo

A sneak peek at next year's new range

Beneteau has announced that it will be collaborating with Italian designers Nuvolari & Lenard to bring the new Monte Carlo range to the sub-60ft flybridge market.

Beneteau said its own design office will be responsible for the hulls and that Nuvolari & Lenard will lend their unique talent to the style, as well as the interior layout.

In 2008, the Beneteau Group, gambled on combining these two 'centres of excellence' by creating Monte Carlo Yachts, the top of the group's range, which produces Motor Yachts over 20 metres in its futuristic Italian boat yards in Trieste.

The MC5, the first model of the Monte Carlo range, will be launched at the Düsseldorf Boat Show in January 2013. 

"We wanted to send out an instantly understandable signal," said Carla Demaria, General Manager of the Beneteau brand and President of MCY. 

"These boats will speak the same language as the Monte Carlo yachts. We are convinced that the design of this new fleet will leave a deep mark on the boating industry".

"We like to work with the Beneteau Group," said Italian designer Dan Lenard. 

"In their boatyards they know how to interpret our suggestions as best as possible. And it is not that simple. We are aware of this, since we always like to step well off the beaten path and away from trends," he added.

"The Monte Carlo line will strengthen Beneteau's position in the motor boat market," concluded Demaria. "And it will create a natural pool of future potential Monte Carlo Yacht buyers, by guaranteeing the benefits of the Group as a whole."
