The MC63p picks up on some of the design elements from the MC60, such as the angled deck edge, and the aft-set nacelle/bimini assembly. But the hulls, in the forward section, still gain in freeboard and feature a second chine. The trampoline disappears, replaced by a rigid deck. The MC63p adopts high-tech construction: carbon/foam/epoxy on all levels to obtain a rigid and lightweight platform. Two 875 horsepower engines provide a cruising speed of 20 knots, and 36 knots top speed thanks to the addition of semi-foils. The interior has been particularly well thought-out and comes in three versions, with three or four cabins. Large windows - panels and doors - are retractable in order to completely decompartmentalize the nacelle in fine weather. Two flybridge configurations are also available.
