The 2024 THD 925: Believe It or Not, Brazil Is Responsible for This Floating Gem

Ladies and gentlemen, before us stands the MCP THD 925, a vessel crafted by none other than MCP Yachts. Oh, and if this name doesn't ring a bell, it's because this crew is from Brazil, a nation not necessarily known for its ability to craft luxury boats.

Nonetheless, MCP has been operational for more than 43 years, making them the nation's go-to crew for a yacht done the right way. Funny enough, some millionaires and billionaires literally travel oceans to pick up their MCP ship. Why such a rush for their goods? The 925 is about to set the story straight.

For starters, the 925 is currently up for grabs at a bank account-shattering €11.3M, the equivalent of $12.4M (at current exchange rates). Why so much for a ship that's a tad smaller than others within its price range? The main reason is the amount of experiences and adventures in store, but also the level of living that's been packed into the 2024 925.

Now, what we're looking at is a machine that comes in with a length of 28.16 m (92 ft) and is crafted out of nothing other than aluminum. But the real design tricks that MCP has in place are the way the wheelhouse is integrated into the superstructure and the expansive platforms seen all around the ship that seemingly pop up out of nowhere, not to mention the focus on outdoor living and pleasures.

To make things a tad easier to understand, I want to direct your attention to the rear of the 925. Here, part of the stern is set up on a hydraulic system, allowing it to unfold and create an expansive beach club in the process. By the looks of things, you and three to five other guests can wait their turn to jump into the local waters or join hands and on "3!"

This is also the same place where you'll be hopping into the tender that MCP places at your disposal as standard. Since there's no garage aboard the 925, this tender and any other toys you decide to add to your lineup will all be loaded up on the sun deck. You can also see the tender crane looming on the starboard side of the ship.

Continuing with the hydraulic magic that the 925 offers, keep your attention on the right side of the ship and check out that beautiful floating platform hanging off the side of the main lounge. What do you think of it? Have you pictured yourself having breakfast here? How about some tea? A nice little private chat would go great here, or maybe asking for someone's hand in marriage, all the while hovering above the sea. It's "Oh, Jack!" all over again.

Before we start to explore the interior of the 925, I also want to direct your attention to the ship's highest point, the sun deck, but let's forget about the looming tender in the background. The rest of this space is designed to accommodate both sun and shade-loving humans, placing features like a bar, lounge, and flybridge at our disposal.

To enter the interior of the 925, you can either head down the stairs from the sun deck or head up from the beach club I mentioned. Once we do, we'll find ourselves enveloped in features, materials, and designs that may not be the most extravagant around but are modern and minimalist, to say the least.

But don't let looks fool you because behind all the wood, LED lighting, soft-touch fabrics, and semi-precious metals is hidden everything you need to live out on the edge of civilization for as long as you have supplies.

Which brings me to my next point. As I researched this vessel and what it has to offer, it dawned on me that the 925 is a bit more than just for taking out on the weekends or out at sea for a week or so. With features like a freshwater fabricator, dishwasher, washing machine, and a fully-stocked galley, you and your millionaire guests can spend as much time on the water as you want; just send one of the crew out for supplies and grow old here.

Best of all, MCP also added an array of energy-capturing systems. Not only is solar power tapped into, but the Brazilian brand is setting the bar high with things like a wind generator too. If you've got the cash for other eco-friendly systems, let MCP know, but to do that, you'll probably have to drop the down payment for a new machine, one that's built from the ground up to your tastes.

By the time you're done spending all that hard-earned cash, you'll be looking at your own private haven, which, with a bit of business planning and the right team behind you, can be turned into a source of cash flow.
