Introducing the Monte Carlo 6S

Monte Carlo 6s

July 25 2016

The launch of the Monte Carlo 6 S at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September marks the success of the
Beneteau premium range, created just three years ago. Led by a collaboration between Beneteau’s
design office and the Nuvolari and Lenard duo, the brand succeeded in completely renewing the luxury codes in this segment of motor cruisers.

Directly inspired by the luxury world of the Monte Carlo Yachts brand, the Monte Carlo 6S is elegant in every respect, marrying with unparalleled refinement the timeless Monte Carlo appeal with the pleasure of an opening roof, giving her a distinctive sporty style. Boasting the best of the yacht tradition, this sports version of the splendid motor cruiser catches everyone’s eye at sea, with her attractively flared-out hull design, a surprising recess of the side windows in relation to the windshield, and round hull portholes.

However, what makes her unique is her saloon integrated in the Hard-top – a real private lounge. This exclusive space, with a luxurious lounge and large sun-loungers features a panoramic terrace with a stunning amount of space that aligns perfectly with the sporty line of this model.

Propelled by two 600 hp Cummins engines, the MC6S reaches a top speed of 28 knots and has all the torque needed for dynamic acceleration. The Zeus pod system significantly improves the boat’s performance, while delivering a 30% fuel economy, 15% faster cruising speed and a top speed 15% higher than that of a traditional
shaft line system.

Neptunus 650F Review

Neptunus 650F 400

By Andy Adams

Over the years Canadian Yachting has had the pleasure of doing several boat review articles on new Neptunus models and we are familiar with the qualities that Neptunus is famous for. They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
