Monte Carlo Yachts reveals 10 years of award-winning manufacturing excellence and innovative naval architecture
The Italian yacht builder, part of French Beneteau Group, reveals the most precious secrets behind its world-class modular construction process and looks ahead to another decade of disruptive innovation.
To celebrate ten years of successes and visionary technological breakthrough, Monte Carlo Yachts proudly decided to unveil for the first time images and accurate descriptions of its manufacturing process and naval architecture that have revolutionized the yachting industry.
“Unique in the yachting sector, Monte Carlo Yachts has introduced an exclusive naval architecture and modular construction process inspired by the Lean Manufacturing concepts with which the world leaders in the most advanced industrial sectors pursue aesthetic quality and technical reliability in an efficient production environment”, says Fabrizio Iarrera, MCY Managing Director.
Recognized since the beginning as one of the company’s major strengths, the shipyard’s modular construction process allows the company to increase quality being more responsive and dynamic towards the global market. But innovation is not linked just to the process itself, Monte Carlo Yachts went much further revolutionizing the yacht’s naval architecture. This solution becomes the essential instrument to make modular construction possible and improves the technical characteristics of the hull structures to much higher quality levels.
The traditional hull structure is replaced by an innovative internal structural skeleton so that the entire beam of the yacht, from the bottom of the hull up to the deck, contributes to increase the structural qualities of the boat. At the same time, soft mounting solutions are applied to limit the transmission of vibrations and noise toward the interior rooms and reach comfort and reliability standards of absolute excellence.
The entire structure of the interior cabins is therefore conceived in modular form so it can be readied outside the hull in complete control of the assembly tolerances, now limited to around a millimetre. This system makes it possible to care for the smallest design and decor details, offering almost limitless possibilities for personalizing the end product and allowing total accessibility in the preparation of the on-board systems.
The hull of every MCY presents itself as an extremely solid, light shell, with top-of-the-category safety standards. Characteristics made possible by the modular approach together with the use of self-supporting plating made in sandwich, longitudinal reinforcements, a bow crash box, and extensive use of Kevlar and carbon fibers in the highest impact areas.
“The whole MCY collection embodies our strategy and design philosophy. We are very proud of the outstanding accolades achieved by our yachts during these years, but the recognition that gratifies us the most is the one received for our innovative manufacturing process” says Carla Demaria, MCY President.
Monte Carlo Yachts has been awarded with the Innovation in a Production Process Award at the IBI-METS Boat Builder Awards for Business Achievement organized jointly by IBI magazine and METS.
Specifically, the IBI-METS panel found that: "Monte Carlo Yachts' modular construction system is a game-changer for the industry. Monte Carlo Yacht's ability to construct interiors outside of the boat on a grid system not only greatly simplifies the build process, but also encourages more exact levels of finish, allowing much greater levels of customization. In essence, Monte Carlo Yachts has cracked the code of building semi-custom boats on a full scale series production line. Its collection bares testimony to a builder redefining the rules."
The developing story of Monte Carlo Yachts as it enters its second decade of operations continues on the company website (www.montecarloyachts.it), its Official Social Medias such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube and in the framework of the most important International Boat Shows.
Genuinely Italian in its management, designers and artisanal skills Monte Carlo Yachts is the fastest growing Italian brand in the luxury motor yacht segment, supported by the industrial strengths of French Group Beneteau. It has developed and launched a range of award winning models that have been recognized internationally both for their iconic style and their performance. Production takes place in Italy inside the state-of-the-art yard at Monfalcone, close to Trieste: strategically located on an area of over 45.000 square meters, the waterfront with quays for around 40 berths and covering an area of 18.000 square meters, the shipyard boasts cutting-edge manufacturing equipment and a spray booth of over 60 meters and 175 tons travel lift for the latest generation of super yachts. The full MCY collection is designed by the world-famous Nuvolari Lenard design studio, which, together with Monte Carlo Yachts, has studied and introduced design features and materials extensively used previously only on mega yachts. The MCY collection currently includes the MCY 65, MCY 70, MCY 76, MCY 80, MCY 86, MCY 96 and MCY 105.
