The Monte Carlo 5 is a French-built flybridge yacht whose retro styling is unique in a pocket motor yacht. From the sheltered aft deck, twin glass and stainless steel doors open into the MC5’s roomy interior where the galley is aft and the salon is forward. The U-shaped seating to port in the salon doubles as a dinette and the table opens out to serve six people. Further forward, the helm is open to the salon where large windows flood the entire area with abundant natural lighting. Below deck, the layout includes double cabins fore and aft, a small guest cabin in between and two heads. The full beam master features two huge circular windows that offer panoramic views of the water. A fourth single-berth can be fitted aft, in the transom. The flybridge—large for a boat this size— features a wet bar, dining table and a vast sun pad opposite the helm. Wide side decks and sturdy railings make getting around the MC5 easy, and the engine room offers good service access even with the aft crew cabin. A hydraulic swim platform and bow thruster are standard. Volvo 435hp IPS 600 pod drive diesels cruise at 24–26 knots (28 knots top). The Monte Carlo 5S is a hardtop version of this boat.
