Boat Review: Monte Carlo MC5 by Beneteau

Boat Review: Monte Carlo MC5 by Beneteau

December 3, 2014 9:47 am

Beneteau’s newest design, the MC5, branches the gap between Beneteau Power and Monte Carlo Yachts. The combination of Italian design and French boat building has created a stunning yacht that is sure to out shine all other yachts in her class. Call Today to find out about availability of this incredible yacht.

MC5_InStock

A great boat for dock-to-dock coastal cruising and weekending

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a sixpence in her shoe. The old English rhyme details the “somethings” a bride should wear on her wedding day for good luck, and it seems Beneteau borrowed its advice — with the exception of the now-defunct sixpence — when developing the new Monte Carlo (MC) 5 , part of the builder’s line of power cruisers that addresses each point.

The MC5’s retro styling, with round portlights and a straight shear, evokes old-school design sensibilities, but at the same time it is a brand-new model with every modern amenity and advanced technology available. Its Italian flare and luxury finish were borrowed from Beneteau’s upscale line of Monte Carlo Yachts (MCY), 65 feet and larger . And while you don’t have to choose a blue hull, it looks good.

Monte Carlo is a line of mid-range power cruisers created to bring the MCY line below 65 feet and bridge the gap between Beneteau’s GT series and the upscale MCY, which reaches into superyacht territory. With 40 and 50-footers already launched and a 60-footer on the drawing board, Beneteau hopes to cover all segments of a diverse market with the MC series.

Construction & Design

Seen from the front, the 49-foot MC5 has a distinctive, wine glass–shaped bow with a deep V and hard chines that lead aft. Above that, the bow flares dramatically as if to catch up with the on-deck beam above. However, go aft and you’ll find a relatively flat transom with only a 15-degree deadrise. The hull shape accomplishes three things:

1. It keeps the bow driving forward by splitting waves instead of pounding down onto them, thereby minimizing spray on deck.

2. It keeps the aft end of the boat from rolling.

3. It adds lift and efficiency.

Naval architects Le Bihan and Tableau also gave the balsa-cored hull a beamy fore-section and nearly straight hull sides, so the beam at the waterline is almost what it is on deck, which creates the tremendous interior living volume.

The Great Outdoors

The MC5 is available in a hardtop or flybridge version, and for my money, the flybridge can’t be beat. It’s as if there’s a whole boat’s worth of space planted right on top of the boat itself. Ascend the teak-covered steps (with storage inside), and you’ll come up to a U-shaped settee that will seat eight around a teak dining table.

The seating continues on the port side with forward- and aft-facing benches that can be joined to form a double sunpad or used for companion seating across from the helm. The single helm seat to starboard is adjustable, and the dash includes a single multifunction display, a joystick and engine controls, a compass, and various other smaller displays and switches. A wraparound reverse windshield keeps the spray away from the driver. Visibility is good in all directions except to the aft corners, which is why a third helm station in the aft cockpit below may be a good option if you often back into a slip. Just aft of the helm seat is a cabinet with an optional galley module that includes a Kenyon electric grill, a sink and an ice-maker.

If it’s too windy to cook up top, you can still enjoy an outdoor grill on the more protected aft cockpit. The top of the transom has a compartment that can be used either for small storage or an outdoor galley with a Kenyon grill, a sink and a food-prep area.

Impeccable Interior

Like many of the other latest designs, the MC5’s interior starts in the exterior, as the cockpit joins the galley and salon when the large glass and stainless steel doors are folded outward on both port and starboard. The galley is all the way aft, so you can easily serve dinner outside or in, and it is somewhat customizable in that additional overhead cabinets may be added, creating room for added refrigeration or a dishwasher below the counters. An electric stove and a large sink are standard, while a microwave is an option. Countertop space is limited, but if you’re already cooking in two other areas, it’ll do nicely.

Step up to the port-side dinette where six can gather around a folding table. To starboard is a straight sofa directly aft of the helm seat. So in all, almost a dozen people can be seated. A 32-inch popup flat-screen TV behind the starboard sofa will make watching movies fun, and even the cook will be able to see the screen from the galley. Headroom in the salon is a comfortable 6 feet, 6 inches, which gives the interior an open and airy feel.

With Nuvolari & Lenard Italian styling, Monte Carlo hints at what the MCY line promises. Surfaces padded with fabric and leather deaden sound, while lacquered cabinetry adds light. The finish is brushed oak, which is light and heavily textured and alternates nicely with the smooth leather accents that abound. Multiple fabrics in contrasting light and dark colors and varied textures add depth and dimension, so the eye lingers on fine details such as perfect stitching and leather-wrapped handholds and cabinet pulls.

At the Helm

Another step up takes you to the inside helm station to starboard. The slight elevation helps with the headroom in the cabin below but retains enough overhead space that the driver can stand up if needed. The dash is well laid out with room for two optional Simrad NSS 12-inch multifunction displays, a Volvo Penta EVC screen, and assorted controls and displays for the autopilot, bow thruster and, of course, the IPS joystick. The window outboard opens, so air is plentiful and communication with anyone on deck or the dock is easy. The helm seat is doublewide with storage underneath, and just to port, underneath the giant one-piece windshield, is storage for charts and cruising guides.

Sleep Tight

However the MC5 will be used most, it would be a shame not to overnight on it, given the sumptuous staterooms. The layout includes three cabins and two heads, so six can sleep in private comfort, but that’s only the beginning. The full-beam master stateroom is a suite with a generously proportioned bed with a padded headboard and good headroom. In fact, due to the stepped salon above, the headroom all around the bed is 6 feet, 1 inch. Lounges to port and starboard invite you to sit with a book and look out the oversized, fixed, round portlights with opening round ports embedded within.

The master bath — and that’s a better term for it than head — has a vessel sink and a large separate shower stall with a slatted teak seat. There is an opening port in the head, but only one and not in the shower area, so it may get a bit steamy. An electric VacuFlush head is standard. The large stateroom doesn’t feel buried within the vessel, and together with the head, it forms a space plush enough to entice you to linger in the morning before heading topside.

The forward VIP stateroom is defined by light, with four round opening portlights and a deck hatch overhead, and the third stateroom has over/under bunks and locker space at the foot of the beds.

Performance

The MC5 is a pod-driven boat, which is good in multiple ways. First, the pods move the engines far aft, creating more interior space for the master stateroom. Second, engine noise is moved farther away from the living spaces. And finally, docking a boat with pod drives and joystick control is a breeze and builds confidence, even in new skippers.

The standard engines are twin Volvo Penta IPS500 370 hp diesels, but you can upgrade to IPS 600s that have 435 hp. The upgrade provides only a knot or two of speed at the top end, but it may help if the boat will be pushing into heavy head seas. The engine space is accessed via a hatch in the aft cockpit sole, and there is plenty of room in the machinery space for the optional generator and extra batteries if the four service batteries (140 aH each) are not enough, although there’s no reason they shouldn’t be.

In the bay of Palma de Mallorca, Spain, we took the MC5 out for a spin on a sunny day with 1 to 2 feet of wind chop and 10 knots of breeze. The boat came up on plane at 16 to 17 knots and did so without fuss. The ride was so smooth we didn’t really notice how fast we were moving until we reached a cruising speed of 18 to 20 knots. Wide open in those conditions, the boat zipped along at 23 knots. Fuel tankage is 344 gallons, which is plenty for point-to-point coastal cruising.

The next day, we tried the same in 15 knots of wind and a 3-foot chop. There was little difference except that we reached 21.8 knots against the wind. The sharp bow split the waves and wasn’t bothered in the least, even in wakes that came broadside. The hydraulic steering was smooth, and there was little roll as we sat idling, waiting for the photo boat to catch up.

Unexpected Finds

You can’t overlook two essential add-ons offered with the MC5, which are meant to ease your movement on water and land. First, the official dinghy for the MC5 is the Williams Tender 285 jet boat (although you can choose a traditional RIB). According to Beneteau, 20 percent of new boat owners in this class want additional water toys such as PWCs but also need a tender, and the quandary is where to store both. Voila. The Williams fiberglass tender can pull double duty. It is an 80 hp jetboat shaped like an inflatable dinghy, but it can reach 35 to 40 knots. It has a tow ring to pull wakeboarders and enough room to get the whole crew to shore; plus, a custom cradle can be mounted on the MC5’s hydraulic swim platform. The jetboat costs $34,000, but since it’s a PWC and a dinghy in one, that’s not bad. You can also have it customized to match your MC5’s hull color.

Once you get to land, run around on the Beneteau-branded Mondo Footloose electric bike. It has a lithium battery, so you can pedal or ride in style up to 28 mph. A charge will last 45 to 60 minutes depending on your speed and terrain. It folds into a small package and can be stored in the huge lazarette in the MC5’s transom. It comes in several colors and offers options such as an upgraded seat and storage panniers. The bike will set you back $5,000-plus but hey, if you’re set on arriving in style, why lose that momentum when you reach the dock?

A one-way ticket to the Amazon

Guests can enjoy top-quality cuisine, then dance the night away, in a typically Amazonian decor. From its plant-filled interior to its 1,000 m² rainforest-inspired terrace, the design is that of artist and decorator Lázaro Rosa-Violan, and was orchestrated by SBM’s Built Heritage Department.

In the restaurant, a menu combining Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean flavours, as well as Monegasque specialities, will let you discover gourmet food from all over the world, and is accompanied by live performances of jazz, bossa nova and Cuban music.

Once dinner is over, guests can head to the Bar & Lounge area and the Club. Located behind a leopard-print staircase, the restaurant’s customers can enjoy a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere there from 11 pm to 4 am. It’s a perfect opportunity to order cocktails and original creations by the mixologist, and dance to the ‘electro-pical’ sounds of the resident DJs, who mix electro and Latino.

The Most Beautiful Stations on the Moscow Metro

yacht monte carlo 5

You might have heard that there are some beautiful metro stations in Moscow. Soviet decorations, chandeliers, mosaic painting and statues are common in many of the stations. The good news is that the Moscow Metro does not cost a lot of money and many of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro are on the same line, so you can almost get on and off at each station to visit these. Over the New Year holidays, I had a free afternoon and decided to visit some of these stations. Check out what I found below…..

The main stations that you will want to visit are on the Number 5 line, also known as the Circle Line. An advantage of this line is that you can get to it very easily and quickly no matter where you are in Moscow. The announcements on the metro are in Russian as well as English so you don’t need to worry if your Russian language skills are not good.

If, like me, you arrive in Moscow via train from Kyiv , then you will arrive at a metro station which many Muscovites believe to be the most beautiful of them all…..

Kievskaya metro station was opened in 1954 and features white marble walls which curve upwards and have with large mosaics surrounded by a gold trim in a very classical style. The mosaics depict life in Ukraine and was designed by a Ukrainian who wanted to display Ukraine’s influence and contribution to Soviet Russia.

Belorusskaya

If you look at a map of the metro , you will want to go in a clockwise direction on the circle line. So you will want to get on the train going in the Barrikadnaya direction and not Park Kultury. Stay on this line until you reach the 2nd station, Belorusskaya. This station was built in 1952 and like Kievskaya also features white marble pylons and a plaster ceiling.

The ceiling features 12 mosaics in an octagonal shape depicting Belarusian life, while the tiling on the floor is said to resemble a Belarusian quilt. One of the passageway exits of the station has a statue called ‘Belarusian Partisans’ of three men wearing long coats, holding guns and carrying a flag.”

Mayakovskaya

To get to the next station, we need to change onto the green line (line 2) and go just one stop to the station of Mayakovskaya. This station has an art deco theme and, for some, resembles an elaborate ballroom. The columns are faced with stainless steel and pink rhodonite while the marble walls and ceiling have 34 mosaics with the theme “24-hour Soviet Sky. Apparently, Stalin resided here during the 2nd World War as the station was used as a command post for Moscow’s anti-aircraft regiment.

Novoslobodskaya

It’s time to get back on the metro and return to Belorusskaya. At Belorusskaya, change to the circle line again and continue clockwise to the next station, Novoslobodskaya. With its 32 stained glass panels, this station reminds me of a church. The panels were designed by Latvian artists and are surrounded by a brass border.

Prospekt Mira

Back on the metro and again just one stop until our next station, Prospekt Mira. This station was originally called Botanichesky Sad after the nearby Botanical Gardens of the Moscow State University. The pylons are covered in white marble and decorated with floral bas-relief friezes. The ceiling is decorated with casts and several cylindrical chandeliers.

Komsomolskaya

On the metro once more and once more we are going just one stop to the next station – Komsomolskaya. This station is famous for its its yellow ceiling. The chandeliers in this station are huge. The photos below do not do this station justice.  For me, this station resembles a presidential palace.  You hace to see it for yourself to truly appreciate it.

Because of it’s location, this is one of the busiest stations in the Moscow metro as it serves three of the main train stations in the city – Leningradsky, Yaroslavsky, and Kazansky so be prepared for a lot of people.

Elektrozavodskaya

When you are ready to leave Komsomolskaya metro station behind, then get back on the circle line and go one stop to Kurskaya and change to the blue line (line 3) and go to two stops to the Elektrozavodskaya station. This station gets it’s name from a nearby electric light bulb factory and has a somewhat industrial but also futuristic style, with 6 rows of circular lamps (there are 318 lamps in total). I think this is one of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro for how unique it is. The station was opened in 1944 after a delay because of the 2nd World War and features 12 marble bas-reliefs of the struggle on the home front during the war.

Ploschad Revolyutsii

Back on the metro line 3 (but in the other direction), getting off at the 3rd stop – Ploschad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). This is located underneath the square in Moscow of the same name and is a short walk from Red Square in the city centre. It is the perfect place to end a visit around Moscow’s metro. The station features red and yellow marble arches with a total of 76 sculptures in between each arch. The sculptures are supposed to represent the people of the Soviet Union and include soldiers, farmers, industrial workers, children etc… I noticed a lot of people touching the golden chicken in the photo below as well as the show of the woman. I am assuming that this is for good luck.

Kievskaya definitely caught me off guard. Didn’t know Moscow metro stations were THIS extravagant! Mayakovskaya is gorgeous too with the marble walls and mosaics. I might just need to book a flight over to admire all of these!

yacht monte carlo 5

Do it! Kievskaya was my first introduction to the Moscow metro as I got an overnight train from Kyiv.

You know, in the States, all we ever hear is bad stuff about Russia. It’s nice to see other (and lovely!) dimensions of such a controversial place.

It’s the same in the UK which is why I prefer going to see somewhere and making up my own mind. It’s all ‘politics and bullshit’ as I say

' src=

I went to Moscow about 13years for Christmas and went to train stations, so I can see these amazing mosaics and chandeliers. I agree with you that are beautiful Stations for sure and I could of wandered around for days. I think Kievskaya is definitely my favourite out of them all and I even have some similar pictures as you.

I imagine Moscow would have been a little different 13 years ago but these stations have probably always looked beautiful

You chose some great stations for this write up! Beautiful details in these stations and would love to visit them sometime. Particularly like the Komsomolskaya station with that yellow ceiling!

Thank you very much. Komsomolskaya seems to be a lot of peoples favourite stations too

Wow! Without the text I would have thought them to be some museum or gallery.

I know exactly what you mean!

Rosie Fluskey

Wow, it is just stunning! How does anyone get to work with so much to look at. I’m surprised at the very bourgeois-looking Komsomolskaya station. I would have thought it was all too Tzarist looking, but then I haven’t been to Russia yet lol. This has just made me want to go more!

' src=

Wow, that’s a lot of artwork. I wonder how old some of these pieces are?

Generally most of the stations are from 1940-1960 approximately. The later stations are more functional than style.

' src=

My mother-in-law was in Moscow fifty years ago and still raves about the metro stations. So far, I could not imagine much. But now! The pictures are great and I think it’s almost a pity that this splendor is underground. But for every user of the Metro can enjoy a free trip to the world of art. Susanne

True. It is like having a free trip to an art museum/gallery. I hope that you can one day visit Moscow and see for yourself.

' src=

Oh wow, I would never have known that these were metro stations. The ceilings remind me of how you need to look up sometimes, even in the commuter rush!

It is true about life in general, we just go from A to B looking directly in front of us instead of around us

' src=

Wow, I would have never guessed that these were stations. The decor is so pretty and not one I’m used to seeing at metro stations. Love the ceiling at The Komsomolskaya metro station.

They certainly don’t look like metro stations. The ceiling there is one of my favourites too!

WHY BUY NEW

This French-built motoryacht builds on over 135 years of BENETEAU boat building experience and feedback from thousands of BENETEAU owners.  BENETEAU is always pushing the boundaries of what is possible in shipbuilding.  See our latest innovations:

yacht monte carlo 5

A MODERN MASTERPIECE

Longer, sleeker, more spacious, and with a greater beam than her predecessor, the Monte Carlo 52’s distinctive style was conceived by a team of world-famous architects and designers: Carlo Nuvolari & Dan Lenard for the exterior line and Andréani Design for the interior accommodation and supurb use of space.  

PERFORMANCE

The running surface was designed in partnership with MICAD to optimize the IPS propulsion and to put particular emphasis on comfort while underway.  Performance is defined by comfort, capability, and frugality, not top end speed.

BATHED IN LIGHT

The Monte Carlo 52 design maximizes your access to natural light.  Big windows are only part of the story.  The layout of the salon is based on how you use your boat: an ergonomic galley where you want it - aft and connected to the cockpit - and inviting and conversational seating areas at window height connect you to the water.

CUTTING-EDGE QUALITY

Assembled using advanced techniques at industry-leading production facilities, the Monte Carlo 52 is a continuation of the elite, high-end quality that you have come to expect from the BENETEAU boatyard. The high-quality of the Monte Carlo 52 cruiser is a testament to our commitment to excellence.
