Menorquin 68

Liveaboard, Spanish-inspired llaut loaded with style, creature comforts

Wrapped in luxury amid the waves gently lapping the hull of the Menorquin 68 is a sensual experience at sea. Three lovelyMenorquin 68 staterooms with four berths encourage sleeping in just a little bit longer. Upon awakening, stepping up the companionway into the well-appointed salon's open entryway brings the sunlight in with the sea breeze, signaling another day of adventure just over the horizon.

Drawing inspiration from single-sail, Spanish fishing boats called llauts, Menorquin maintains an anachronistic look and style. Natural sunlight and expansive windows makes for pleasurable cruising with a roomy cockpit and comfortable helm.

An extended flybridge provides coverage for weather at sea, navigating crossings confidently. As the Menorquin makes graceful passages in the world’s waterways, her luxurious amenities are bolstered by true craftsmanship, unparalleled performance and alluring Spanish style.

The custom, streamlined hull increases performance while reducing fuel consumption, making the Menorquin 68 a luxury yacht in a powerful package with twin Cummins QSM 11-715 diesel engines dependably supporting near coastal cruising at 14 knots and lengthy voyages in moderate sea conditions.

 

Certified, safe cruiser for bluewater voyages

The Menorquin 68 performs as a long-range cruiser and a true, offshore boat, ocean certified as a CE Category A vessel. The CE Cat A designation is the European Union’s most stringent design standard for recreational crafts under 79 feet. This class certification for unlimited offshore use covers self-sufficient boats designed for extended voyages. Excluding hurricane conditions, the Menorquin withstands winds over Beaufort Force 8 exceeding 40 knots and significant wave heights above 13 feet.

CE Cat A vessels quantify the boat’s degree of seaworthiness, based on the wave height and wind speed the boat is designed to encounter and handle. The farther offshore the vessel is expected to venture, the higher the expectations for construction strength, stability, freeboard, reserve buoyancy, resistance to downflooding, deck drainage and other seaworthiness criteria.

Well-appointed lighting creates ambiance for an opulent experience cruising ports of call, with the Onan marine generator’s auxiliary power delivering a whisperquiet ride with an endless array of pleasurable amenities at sea. The Menorquin 68 delights seafarers with an array of gorgeous, hand-selected wooden decking choices, making every semi-custom launch as unique as its owner.
