MonteCarlo 47 Fly

BENETEAU entered the large Sport Cruiser segment of the market in December 2008 with the launch of the MonteCarlo 47 Hard Top. Its interior space and elegant, thoroughbred lines made it an instant success. The range is now being extended again with the launch of the MonteCarlo 47 FLY: a MonteCarlo 47 with a large sunbathing terrace. The external cockpit galley unit has been cleverly converted to provide access to the flybridge.

Infinite multi-functionality on deck and inside
The award-winning designer of the MonteCarlo range Pierangelo Andreani has drawn a very beautiful new design in true Mediterranean style with features to suit every taste and need. The overall layout of the MonteCarlo 47 FLY offers two very special living spaces: the cockpit and the luxuriously-appointed flybridge

• On deck: relaxation in the sun.

- The flybridge incorporates two distinct areas: the helm station and the convertible 6-person saloon. The driver's seat is on the centreline of the boat, and the instrument panel features a full duplicate set of navigation instruments. To the left is the co-driver’s seat, and to the right a large lounger-style sunbathing platform with a pullout fridge beneath. Behind is the spacious saloon with bench seating and full backrests for at least six diners. For safety, access to and from the flybridge is fully protected. Lastly, the visually-appealing arch carrying the radar and antennas is raised for even greater comfort.

- With its external galley unit, the enormous cockpit is big enough for all the crew to relax together. The external saloon converts into a sunbathing platform. The interior is entered via a wide 3-panel glazed door. The tender garage beneath the cockpit is so large that the outboard can be left in place. The generous aft sunbathing platform offers convenient and safe access to the water.

- The forward king-size sunbathing platform (2 x 1.90 metres) is upholstered in the latest Exclusive collections (BENETEAU 2009).

• Inside: generously-luxurious living spaces
Everything on board is designed to make life easier:
- excellent head height in common with all the boats in this range
- generous amounts of space, especially in the owner’s cabin, which occupies the full width of the boat and is flooded with light from two large side windows
- single-level traffic areas
- a galley that draws its inspiration from the latest technologies and design ideas (optimised storage, space-saving solutions, soft-close drawers, etc.)
- choice of layout version: 2-cabin or 3-cabin

The MonteCarlo 47 FLY also introduces new leather, alcantara and light oak finishes.

Perfect balance between hull and propulsion
The MonteCarlo 47 hull design has been developed in close co-operation with Volvo Penta to accommodate its IPS (Intelligent Propulsion System) and therefore optimise the power of its pod drives and the behaviour of the boat. The propulsion system offered is the Volvo IPS 600 with two D6 435 HP diesels. The new cylinder block used on the D6 unit provides improved sound insulation. The steering system is electrically-powered, with joystick control for berthing manoeuvres.
