“The MC6S offers a
compelling package
without breaking the bank
of Monte Carlo”
Beneteau Monte Carlo 6SPETITE FLYBRIDGE
W hat Beneteau is calling a “saloon
integrated in the hard-top” is a discreet
mini flybridge lounge that has gantry
space for navigation gear in front
yet vastly reduces the windage of a
traditional flybridge while also giving
a large retractable sunroof for the
main saloon. Climbing up the gentle
gradient of the stairwell takes me to
the middle of this flybridge where I’m
surrounded by the L-shaped lounge.
Towards the rear is a double sunbed
and a small 30l fridge nestles between.
Guard rails are welcome here as the
topsides aren’t very high and with no
sprayhood forward the area is best
used when stationary or at slow speed.
But there’s plenty to like, such as the
adjustable-height main table, which
can be lowered to become a sunbed
CLOCKWISE FROM MAIN This coupe version is more versatile and has a leaner look
than its predecessors; Tall windows in the lounge provide abundant light; A double
sunbed, with adjustable-height main table, is located towards the rear.tradeboats.com.au 31
