Bayc Asia

Owning an eighty-six-foot flybridge like BAYC Asia means a boat built to run herself for a weekend as easily as a full week aboard. Monte Carlo Yachts delivered her in 2015 to the MCY 86 design, and at a twenty-four-knot cruise she covers ground fast enough to make a same-day hop between anchorages practical. Eight guests across four cabins is enough room for an owner's family and close friends to travel together in comfort.

Build and provenance

Monte Carlo Yachts built BAYC Asia in 2015 to the MCY 86 design, a monohull with a fibreglass hull, materials that keep upkeep and insurance straightforward for an owner. Her 5.7-metre beam on a twenty-six-metre length gives the flybridge layout the width its deck spaces need.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep eight guests, a count suited to an owner who uses her with family and close friends rather than large charter groups. As a flybridge model she carries an upper deck above the saloon, adding open-air living space to the accommodation below.

Performance and engineering

BAYC Asia cruises at twenty-four knots and reaches twenty-nine knots flat out, speeds that turn a run between anchorages into a matter of an hour or two rather than a full day under way. For an owner, that range covers both an easy cruise and a faster crossing when the schedule calls for it.

Where she lies and how to see her

BAYC Asia lies in Phuket, Thailand, where Boatcrowd can arrange a viewing and be there for it. Once a buyer's offer is accepted, the survey and sea trial that come next are ours to organise through to handover.
