Stylistically THE NEO CLASSIC motor yacht is a blend of modern minimalist simplicity coupled with classically efficient hull design. The classicism is at its strongest in a bow that goes beyond a simple vertical line to an even more graceful slightly curved one echoing the 19th century dreadnought bow. MCC naval architect KASIA MILEWSKA said: “I took my inspiration from the ships that were built early in the last century with no nonsense efficiency”

By definition NEO CLASSIC designs are not derivative, but defer to the past while looking to the future. This design approach is not just about looks, the extra waterline length the bow contributes makes the yacht incredibly efficient. MCC offers the project in both, traditional twin prop and single prop configuration. Environmentally conscious owners will be able choose the single screw option; this offers maximum efficiency; maximum range and maximum economy.

THE NEO CLASSIC is a rugged, long-distance, blue water cruiser; she is styled with a sleekness of form that belies excellent seakeeping and shares with all MCC yachts a long-distance cruising pedigree. The yacht has a feature more commonly seen on 60 meter plus yachts; two tender garages. The conventional one in the aft lazarette is enhanced by another fully enclosed behind a hull door on the port bow.
Rather than squeeze in a maximum of 12 passengers MCC design chose to accommodate fewer passengers in greater comfort. With master and VIP staterooms on the main deck and three guest cabins below the approach is innovative, even unconventional. The formal dining room is also absent; MCC design here address the widely known fact that formal dining is so rarely used, that valuable space is wasted. For those special formal occasions, the salon has been designed in such a way that it can simply and easily be transformed into a formal dining area. Today, guests prefer to eat and relax al fresco. To address this, THE NEO CLASSIC is well furnished throughout with extensive shaded and sunny areas.

MCC design’s buzz-phrase for the yacht is “back to the future” and that is particularly appropriate given she offers the experienced yachtsman who wishes to travel the world the technology and efficiency of modernity coupled with the comfort zone and pedigree a classic yacht design brings.
