Beneteau Monte Carlo 5 (2013 - 2019) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 5 has won 1 award, most recently for "Above 45ft"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 5 delivers speeds of up to 29 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Beneteau Yachts Monte Carlo 5 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. The Monte Carlo 5 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom is a standout. The Princess F49 and Azimut Fly 50, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.
