HIGHLY AWARDED & OFFERING FAMILIES WAY MORE FOR THEIR MONEY THAN THE STANDARD 11-METRE CRUISER .
At 11.2 metres (33 feet), the latest boat of the Parker range of sports cruisers in collaboration with the acclaimed designer, Tony Castro, makes an impression in the family market for its features and value for money.
Winner of the prestigious Best of Boats Awards in the category ‘Best for Family’, the Parker Monaco 110 is a sporty, high-performance outboard boat from the innovative Polish brand.
Made using Twin Step Infusion technology (TSI), the Parker hull differentiates Parker boats from the competition. This innovative technology involves vacuum infusion during moulding, vinyl ester, sandwich cores, and multiaxial reinforcement to save weight, increase stiffness, and improve comfort. The hull features two steps to reduce friction, planing threshold and consumption, and also to enhance acceleration and increase top speeds by as much as 15 percent.
In Europe, the Parker range is the choice of water police and marine biologists undertaking research expeditions.
They are known as ‘big small boats’ because of their spacious cockpits, clever convertible seating and myriad features that make them the perfect boat for a day, or a weekend on the water.
The Monaco 110 is positioned as a versatile all-rounder with “space and pace” to please everybody and the latest outboard designs that deliver proven efficiency, performance and lighter weight than their inboard competitors.
Raising the outboards allows the props and legs to clear the water, reducing the need to antifoul them and reducing maintenance costs, you can also reverse up to a beach.
Among the profusion of family-friendly features is the unique sunbed arrangement that covers the outboard engines, providing practical leisure space and attenuating noise for guests while underway. The seat/sunbed slides aft, thus increasing the cockpit area, and forward when you need to tilt up the engines.
On deck, guests can spread out over a large seating area with a drinks-cooler fridge accessible from the cockpit, flowing into the saloon and galley, with a well-equipped kitchen and dinette with seating for up to six people.
The large foredeck is a great place to relax, with convertible sunpads/lounges.
Inside, the Parker Monaco 110 boasts the equivalent layout of any classic inboard boat and huge advantages in some respects. Glazing plays a huge role in creating the feeling of space and connection to the water. A sliding glass roof and another sliding canvas skylight over the cockpit area add to the open feel. Other notable features are the helm side door for optimal vision and convenient access to the wide walk-around decks, and the topside door for easy boarding onto the boat from a marina berth.
Accessed by companionway are two good-sized cabins, the master in the bow which has plenty of headroom, storage and large wraparound windows, and the second double bedroom which would equally suit adults or kids. Adjacent is the bathroom with separate full-size shower, WC and vanity, as well as the characteristic windows for views and ventilation.
The boat is fitted with twin 300hp outboards, for sparkling speeds, and a comprehensive list of additional equipment.
Overall, Parker Monaco 110 has a very sleek modern design, practical and functional for a price that will surprise and delight you.
