NEXT Yachting announces merger with Seaminds

Bertrand Vogèle of Seaminds tells us about the sale in Tahiti of the 69 metre Tu Moana. The sale also involved Burgess and YPI, who listed the yacht for sale as the central agents.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/145232/image/large-4d0422aa3c0970f53ee526860b19eff2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/139814">Delivered in 2003, Tu Moana was built by the renowned Austal Shipyard in Australia as one of two sisterships custom-designed for cruising French Polynesia. Originally housing accommodation for up to a maximum of 78 passengers, Tu Moana has the capability to visit areas inaccessible to other vessels of her size due to her shallow draft. The new owner is planning an extensive refit of the vessel.Seaminds Bertrand Vogèle +33 6 07 91 08 27 <a href="mailto:bertrand@seaminds.com?subject=Article%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">bertrand@seaminds.com</a>Burgess +44 020 7766 4300 <a href="mailto:london@burgessyachts.com?subject=Burgess%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">london@burgessyachts.com</a> <a href="http://www.burgessyachts.com/" target="_blank">www.burgessyachts.com</a> Yachting Partners International Russell Crump + 377 99 99 97 97 <a href="mailto:russell.crump@ypigroup.com?subject=YPI%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">russell.crump@ypigroup.com</a> <a href="http://www.ypigroup.com" target="_blank">www.ypigroup.com</a>
