July 12, 2019

Monte Carlo Yachts presented the new MCY 76 – alongside its sisters, the new MCY 70 and MCY 66 – during an enchanting evening in Porto Piccolo, in the Gulf of Trieste. The exclusive event was showered with special guests, inspiring light presentations, and inimitable classic Italian style. A welcome cocktail served on the seaside and a tasteful dinner anticipated the key moment of the evening. The third yacht of the announced next generation MCY line was presented as a celebration, a true tribute to light in front of 300 exclusive guests, owners, partners and international media.

Innovation alongside continuity is the concept behind the second generation of the MCY Collection.
