On the 18th of June, CharterWorld brought you news regarding Project Monarch Yacht that is to be completed by Delta Marine and Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (Cat Financial). We have now received four renderings done by Jonathan Quinn Barnett of the exterior styling and interior design of Project Monarch which just arrived at Delta’s yard in Seattle for completion.
With exterior styling and interior design by Jonathan Quinn Barnett, the 151-foot semi displacement super yacht Monarch has an impressive 30’ 9” beam, and features a balance of elegance and strength, form and function, performance, range and comfort. Motor yacht Monarch has a flared hull design with a hard chine to deflect spray and a high sheer line that captures a full beam arrangement forward of amidships. Her bulbous bow increases efficiency. Powered by twin Cat 3512 B series engines, M/Y MONARCH can reach speeds of up to 21 knots, with a range of 3,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. The yacht is ABS and MCA certified, under 500 gross tons and wheelchair navigable, with extra wide doors, spacious walkways and a centrally located elevator providing convenient access to all four decks.

“The interior for this yacht will be a great departure from any of my previous work. We have developed a modern approach to the detailing using traditional satin paint finishes, almost with the appearance of being ‘hand brushed.’ Large windows allow natural light in and enhance the soft monochromatic coloring and textures,” says Barnett.

The mood changes as you enter the dining salon, where a soft, warm and intimate gathering space has been created. Finally, the design takes advantage again of reflective light with a gorgeous parchment paneled and mirrored stainless steel central staircase and elevator.
In the skylounge of the Motor Yacht MONARCH, the design is inspired by the great classic sailing and motor yachts from the turn of the century, with a modern spin. Elegant contemporary styling and soft worsted wool fabrics and leathers provide great comfort and warmth to compliment the generous use of wood solids and veneers. Marble accents play a key roll around the bar area with a decidedly “Gentlemen’s Club” feel. Sweeping views, large windows, a full bar and walk-in wine room makes this space perfect for cruising, entertaining or relaxing in the harbor. Just forward, the Portuguese bridge has wraparound glass panes with an expansive viewing range and a raised banquette that seats five – another great spot for admiring the passing scenery.
All can enjoy five-star comfort in the Monarch yacht’s well-appointed guest suites. Forward on the main deck, the full-beam master is fitted with office, vanity, cedar-lined walk-in wardrobes and a double bath with whirlpool tub. Two king-berths and one queen and one-twin berth staterooms surround a central lower-deck foyer embellished with rich paneling and a fine inlaid stone floor.

Delta Marine’s Project Monarch’s outdoor deck areas are a harmonious mix of sheltered and open venues, expansive settings and secluded corners, suitable for socializing of all kinds. Aft of the skylounge is a spacious area with seating for eight under the shade, complete with wet bar for cocktail parties under the stars.
Teak stairs lead to the sundeck with circular bar and an adjacent hot tub – a luxurious spot to take in the view. Guests can lie on the sun pads or sit on comfortable upholstered stools poolside and still look forward when underway.
