Just in time for a mega-yacht show: the new BAC Mono Marine Edition!
With extreme lightweighting and anti-corrosive treatments, the carbon-fiber Mono is almost the perfect maritime companion. A bespoke crane loading cradle is made of CF and integrated into the monoposto BAC design elegantly. The Mono’s ultra light and low dimensions make it a perfect supercar for storing on your yacht — with room in the renders for even a pair of the Mono Marine Editions in the side garage of a mega-yacht.
Pricing is Pounds 500k for the Marine Edition, which will be made to order and exclusive to the world’s most stylish — and thrill-seeking — 0.001-percent.
The Mono dimensions also make it a perfect roadster for storing under a mega-buck RV as well…

Introducing the ‘Marine Edition’ BAC Mono, custom designed for life on board the world’s premier superyachts.

Launched in collaboration with yachting company Camper & Nicholsons, the ‘Marine Edition’ will feature anti-corrosive ultra-high specification components for unparalleled performance and durability, proprietary lifting system for safe and easy hoisting, an Environmental Control Container System for on board storage in climate-controlled environment, and bespoke interior and exterior design custom suited to yacht styling and owner preference.
BAC co-founder Ian Briggs started his career in the luxury yacht design field, “I have always wanted to combine my love of marine and automotive design. The ‘Marine Edition’ Mono represents the ultimate drive-and-arrive experience with great purity of purpose and style.”
The Monaco Yacht Show runs from the 23rd to 26th September.
