The Marcopolo MP12 will operate as a working support vessel during the Monaco Yacht Show 2026, ferrying clients for international brokerage Y.CO rather than sitting as a static display.
The show runs 23–26 September at Port Hercules. Aschenez Group describes the deployment as a real-world demonstration of the 12.70-metre adventure yacht's capabilities.
Throughout the four-day event, the MP12 will transfer Y.CO brokers and their clients between appointments, yachts and locations within the harbour. The arrangement places the vessel in daily contact with superyacht owners and captains in genuine operating conditions.
"Monaco is a particularly relevant setting for MP12 because the boat will not simply be displayed, but used throughout the show," says Luca Brancaleon, General Manager Sales and Marketing of Aschenez Group. "Working alongside Y.CO brokers gives us the opportunity to put the product directly in contact with yacht owners and clients in a real-life context, which is exactly where the versatility of MP12 can be fully appreciated."
The MP12 is built around a deep-V hull with generous bow flare and fold-down bulwarks that extend the aft living area. A modular layout allows reconfiguration for day boating, cruising or chase-boat duties. The specific model serving Y.CO is powered by three 400 hp Mercury V10 outboards and runs a three-step hull developed using CFD analysis.
Aschenez Group describes the MP12 as designed to operate beyond the limits of conventional tenders, citing open-ocean capability and seakeeping as key attributes for demanding conditions.
