Monte Carlo Yachts in Italy is promoting the MCY 70 Skylounge, the first model in a series of Skylounge designs to come.

The MCY 70 Skylounge has interior and exterior design by Nuvolari Lenard, which the shipyard—based on customer requests—tasked with creating a vessel suitable for cruising year-round.

“We were inspired by the idea of creating a yacht for all seasons,” Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard stated in a press release. “The new MCY 70 Skylounge was designed with all the possible comforts to be a home away from home, enjoyable throughout the year, and one that offers the owner a peaceful place to be shared with family and friends.”

The MCY 70 Skylounge has an enclosed flybridge with a single helm chair, a guest relaxation area and 360-degree views. Aft, glass sliders open onto a sunbathing area.

A glass staircase leads down to the main deck, which owners can customize. The standard layout includes a seating area and day head aft, with a galley and indoor dining forward. Far aft, there is alfresco dining in the cockpit.

Belowdecks are four staterooms for eight guests. The ensuite, full-beam master is amidships, the ensuite VIP is forward, and a pair of twin-berth staterooms are between the master and VIP, sharing one head. Quarters for two crew are aft.
