Muchos Mas

Rift-sawn white oak floors and walnut burl panelling set the tone aboard Muchos Mas, whose interior work goes well beyond a stock production yacht. Crescent Yachts delivered her in 2016 at 44 metres, and at 491 gross tons she carries the kind of volume that a detailed interior brief needs room to use.

Build and provenance

Crescent Yachts built her in Canada, in GRP rather than a metal hull, to Lloyd's classification. The interior is the work of the Seattle-based designer Jonathan Quinn Barnett, with engineering by Jack Sarin, a combination that explains why the finish reads as custom rather than off-the-shelf.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep in five cabins aboard Muchos Mas, and a crew of nine, close to one crew member per guest, keeps service unhurried at a full table. A skylounge and a separate office add rooms beyond the standard cabins and saloon.

Performance and engineering

Two 1,800hp MTU engines give her a 12-knot cruise and an 18-knot top speed, figures that mark her as a displacement motor yacht built to cover distance efficiently rather than sprint between anchorages.

On deck and at anchor

A jacuzzi, a swimming pool and a sun deck sit outside for the hours at anchor, and a gym below lets guests keep a routine underway.

Where she lies and how to see her

Muchos Mas lies in Fort Lauderdale. Boatcrowd sets up every viewing and is there for it, and once an offer is accepted we move straight to survey and sea trial.
