Monte Carlo MCY 70

Ibiza is where this Monte Carlo MCY 70 spends her days, and everything about her practical layout points to spending them on the water rather than in a marina berth. Monte Carlo built her in 2019, a 69-foot flybridge motor yacht with a joystick that turns close-quarters manoeuvring into a non-event. Eight guests and four cabins keep the pace social rather than crowded, with two crew aboard to run the day.

Build and provenance

Nuvolari & Lenard drew both the exterior and the interior, working in GRP with Kevlar and carbon-fibre reinforcement through the hull and superstructure. She carries a CE-Class A design category and was built by Monte Carlo Yachts, part of the Beneteau Group, in Italy. She is a used yacht from 2019, with no refit recorded.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins: a Master with her own private stairwell and en-suite, a VIP cabin, and two twin cabins reached through a second stairwell forward. Two crew run the yacht from their own quarters, a compact complement suited to a day-and-weekend boat. An elevator connects the decks, useful for guests who would rather not manage the stairs with hands full.

Performance and engineering

Twin 1,200 hp MAN engines give the Monte Carlo MCY 70 a 28-knot top speed, with a joystick system that translates that power into precise low-speed control alongside a dock. Zero-speed stabilisers hold her flat at anchor, and the same system works underway too. Fresh water runs to 800 litres aboard, enough for a long day out without a tender run ashore for more.

On deck and at anchor

A hydraulic swim platform lowers to the waterline for swimmers and tenders alike, and sunpads spread across the bow and the flybridge for the parts of the day spent doing nothing at all. Air conditioning and satellite TV keep the cabins comfortable and connected, a watermaker keeps her self-sufficient at anchor, and bow and stern thrusters make docking straightforward without deckhands standing by at every cleat. Underwater lights and teak decks finish the practical side of the boat.

Where she lies and how to see her

She lies in Ibiza, Spain, ready to view by appointment. Boatcrowd arranges the viewing and is there for it, and once an offer is accepted, survey and sea trial follow before the sale moves to handover.
