Esmeralda of the Seas stands as a notable example of Monte Carlo Yachts’ MCY 96, a series conceived to deliver exceptional comfort and space within a 29.26-metre footprint.
She offers class-leading volume for her length thanks to the shipyard’s collaboration with Nuvolari Lenard, who distilled their experience in larger custom projects into a sub-30-metre design.
Sporty lines and signature interlocking portlights give the MCY 96 a distinctive identity, supported by expansive glazing and generous interior spaces that appeal to owners seeking space and capability in this size range.
GRP Superstructure and hull, carbon fiber t-top.
