Mondomarine M50 "PROVOCATEUR"

PROVOCATEUR: a comprehensively refitted 50-metre yacht

PROVOCATEUR is a 2016 Mondomarine motor yacht offered for sale at USD 28,400,000, with VAT not paid. Her extensive interior and exterior refit in 2023/2024 introduced a contemporary presentation alongside a bow swimming pool, gym and enhanced beach club. At 50 metres, with 499 GT of internal volume and six en-suite guest cabins, she combines substantial accommodation with clearly defined spaces for outdoor living.

Her model designation is M50, a custom aluminium design developed around a three-deck arrangement. For a buyer comparing Mondomarine M50 yachts for sale, her principal distinctions are the completed refit, main-deck full-beam master suite and accommodation for 12 overnight guests.

Design and exterior

The M50's exterior design is by Hot Lab. Long main-deck windows and a pronounced, raked stern give the profile its character, while the original design incorporates a folding transom that creates a generous beach-club terrace. Aluminium construction is central to the yacht's design, with both hull and superstructure built in light alloy.

PROVOCATEUR's outdoor arrangement gives each deck a distinct purpose. The bow swimming pool offers an alternative to the sundeck Jacuzzi, while sunbathing areas, upholstered seating, exterior bars and alfresco dining spaces provide several settings for entertaining. These are useful distinctions when assessing how a yacht will function with a full complement of guests rather than simply comparing overall length.

Her dimensions are 50.00 metres overall, a 9.00-metre beam and a 2.30-metre draft. The combination of a main-deck owner's suite, multiple outdoor social areas and direct water access makes her worth considering for an owner who expects to spend considerable time aboard.

Accommodation and interior

The six-cabin arrangement comprises one master suite, three VIP cabins and two convertible twin cabins with Pullman beds. All six cabins are en suite. Overnight accommodation remains 12 guests; the additional bed arrangements should not be interpreted as an increase in that capacity.

The full-beam master suite occupies the main deck and includes a desk area. This positioning separates the owner's accommodation from much of the guest circulation and gives the principal suite the benefit of the yacht's full width. The convertible cabins provide flexibility when planning accommodation for couples, children or mixed family groups.

The interior presentation includes a main saloon opening towards the aft deck, a separate indoor dining setting and a backlit marble bar. Marble bathrooms, double washbasins and a freestanding bathtub add visual substance to the accommodation. The 2023/2024 work covered both interior and exterior spaces; a viewing should assess the finishes alongside the detailed refit schedule.

Performance and engineering

Twin MTU 16V 2000 M84 diesel engines deliver 2,575 hp each. PROVOCATEUR cruises at 13 knots and reaches a maximum speed of 19 knots. Her aluminium semi-displacement hull gives the buyer a choice between measured passage-making and higher-speed operation when conditions permit.

Fuel capacity is 80,460 litres, with freshwater capacity of 11,800 litres. The M50 design has a published range of 3,500 nautical miles at 12 knots. This is a design reference rather than a guarantee of PROVOCATEUR's present endurance, which should be checked against loading, reserves and machinery condition.

Zero-speed stabilisers are fitted. Engine hours are described as low, but no numerical readings are supplied. Buyers should request dated engine and generator hour records, service histories, technical surveys and a sea trial rather than attach a numerical assumption to that description.

Equipment, tender and toys

Her principal leisure and comfort equipment includes:

• Bow-deck swimming pool.
• Sundeck Jacuzzi.
• Gym and enhanced beach club.
• Zero-speed stabilisers.
• Two Sea-Doo jet skis.
• A 2023 Pirelli 42-foot chase boat, available at additional cost.

The charter inventory additionally identifies an efoil, two Seabobs, paddleboards, waterskis, a wakeboard, snorkelling equipment, inflatable water-play equipment and two electric scooters. Their inclusion in a sale should be established individually in the contractual inventory, rather than assumed from their availability for charter. Some equipment may be held in storage.

The chase boat is particularly important to clarify during negotiations because it is expressly offered at an additional cost. A complete inventory should distinguish equipment aboard, equipment ashore and items excluded from the purchase.

Ownership and running

PROVOCATEUR is located in the South of France and flies the Marshall Islands flag. Her classification is stated as ABS / Commercial, and she is presented as fully commercially compliant. She operates with 11 crew. That staffing level should inform an ownership budget covering salaries, provisioning, maintenance, insurance, berthing and periodic shipyard work; no annual running-cost figure is provided.

Her Monaco charter base and South of France sale location offer a practical starting point for considering a Mediterranean ownership programme. No permanent berth or transferable berth entitlement is specified. Likewise, commercial compliance should not be treated as a promise of future charter income: existing commitments, certification and operational arrangements require separate review.

Her buying proposition rests on a substantial completed refit, six-cabin versatility and a comprehensive outdoor leisure arrangement. VAT remains unpaid, so the asking price should not be treated as a tax-inclusive acquisition figure. The next step is a viewing supported by refit documentation, machinery records, class information and an agreed inventory.
