Design limits set by the EU Recreational Craft Directive (2013/53/EU), in significant wave height. A category covers the conditions of those below it. It is the limit the boat was designed to, not a promise that it is safe in any conditions within it — that judgement stays with the skipper.

About Monte Carlo Yachts

Semi-custom

Italian builder of 20- to 32-metre flybridge yachts, founded at Monfalcone on the Gulf of Trieste in 2008 within the Beneteau group — ten models in the MCY Collection and the enclosed-flybridge MCY Skylounge Collection, all styled by the Nuvolari Lenard studio and built by a modular process the yard developed itself.

Monte Carlo Yachts says it was founded in December 2008 from the idea of combining the best of Made in Italy — craft tradition, the search for beauty and innovative design — with the industrial know-how of the Bénéteau Group, at a shipyard in Monfalcone on the Gulf of Trieste, and that designers Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard were given carte blanche. The first model, the MCY 76, was unveiled in Venice in July 2010 and won Best Design Yacht and Most Innovative Project at the Cannes World Yachts Trophies that September. The MCY 65, later called the 'mini-mega yacht', followed in Cannes in 2011, the MCY 70 in Trieste in 2012 and the MCY 86 at Cap d'Ail in 2013. In July 2015, the company's fifth anniversary, it returned to Venice to unveil the 32-metre MCY 105; that November its modular construction won the IBI-METS award for innovation in a production process, and by December the yard reported growth from a €3 million first-year turnover to €58 million and from 20 to more than 300 people. The MCY 80 was presented in Trieste in 2016 and the MCY 96 in Venice in 2017, the year the MCY 105 won the World Superyacht Award in its category. A second generation began with the new MCY 70 at boot Düsseldorf in January 2019, followed by the MCY 66 and MCY 76, and in January 2020 the yard announced the Skylounge range with an enclosed flybridge, starting with the MCY 70 Skylounge.
