Something About Mary | 50' 2015 Beneteau Yachts

The Beneteau Monte Carlo 5S takes the next step in the evolution of her sister’s – the MC5 – success. In the “S” model, the flying bridge version gives way to a sedan design, still utilizing the upper deck for sun bathing and entertaining. The upper deck layout allows a private area for sunning and relaxation. Features include 3 staterooms and 2 heads, a 6-person salon, upper deck for sunbathing or entertaining, transom compartment, twin Volvo IPS 600 engines, IPS joystick controls, electric windlass and much more! The Beneteau Monte Carlo 5S offers an upper deck to catch some rays or enjoy a meal in wrap-around seating at a high-low table. The tulip-shaped bow and round portlights deliver a distinctive retro look to the yacht, but she’s fully loaded with modern engineering beneath her radiant skin.
