Monte Fino Yachts Announces New Builds & Superyacht Projects

The semi-displacement Monte Fino 76 Yacht now has an all-new interior designed for warm water cruising together with a number of enhancements to the exterior styling of her flybridge.

The first of the new ecHo 85 model will also be exhibiting contemporary European styling inside, but her purposeful design remains in keeping with her status as a genuine long-range eco-yacht, as characterized by her easily driven hull, low emissions and a full range of recycling and low-energy systems.

Examples of the fit-out include stabilizers fitted as standard as well as the installation of management systems, such as the Moritz Aerospace Octoplex multiplexed power management and monitoring system, and Maretron N2KView Vessel monitoring and control software.

Esthec composite decking has been selected as an environmentally-friendly hardwood alternative.

“We feel that this is the right time to raise our profile in Europe,” says Monte Fino Europe’s Nigel Stevens. “There is a growing recognition among European owners that the two market areas in which Monte Fino excels — semi-custom yachts and environmentally-efficient cruising — are not only seeing increasing demand but are also highly cost effective, both in terms of build and operating costs.”

Monte Fino Europe currently has 14 projects in build, including 4 superyachts of over 98′ (30 meters).

Recent investment at the Monte Fino Shipyard included the opening of a slipway capable of taking superyachts up to 80m (262′) for repair and refit, and the facilities are to be expanded further to accommodate new-builds of 40m plus (131′).
