Monaco
This is Monaco
Launched during a Dutch winter so cold workers skated to the yard at Kaag, Arkan showed clear evolution of styling from predecessors such as Enterprise III and Karina C. Long gone was the fantail stern, although the aft main deck remained well covered and could be enclosed in bad weather. The 37.95-metre Arkan changed hands in 1998 and was renamed Matanthar. When that owner upgraded to the 45.70-metre Carmac VII, this yacht was sold and renamed Monaco. As Monaco, this petit Feadship with a maindeck owner’s stateroom was a very active charter yacht.
Impeccably maintained for the past forty years, Monaco has lost none of her authentic character. The only addition to her vintage lines is a swim platform and aft stairs for easier access to the sea, which add modern utility to the original design. During a refit in 2016, she had a full exterior repaint, new generators and the Caterpillar D348 main engines were rebuilt to bring them back to zero hours. With a top speed of 15 knots, she can cruise comfortably at 10 knots.
