Moon Sand has left Lürssen’s shipyard in Germany and meandered up the River Thames, UK. She has been captured in London, moored in proximity to the iconic Tower Bridge. Moon Sand spent a week in the heat of the metropolitan city.

Lürssen headed her naval architecture and built her to a design brief penned by Bannenberg & Rowell Design. Bannenberg & Rowell not only coined her exterior styling but were the creative minds behind her interior.
