Moonen Yachts has sold its third Moonen Martinique, hull number YN200, to the US. The repeat owners are set to see the 36.3-metre yacht's hull and superstructure joined in a few weeks' time and will take delivery in November 2021.
With an exterior design by René van der Velden and naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design, the new yacht's interior design and styling is by Studio Indigo, who will incorporate the owners' customisations which include an extended sun deck with a Jacuzzi. The owners intend to use the yacht privately to explore the US-west coast.

First, Moonen’s reputation for unprecedented engineering and quality of mechanical systems and general construction. The sophistication of the ship’s systems is equivalent to that of a ship twice its size."

But more importantly, it’s the Moonen people whose pride shines through the manufacturing of their ships. Matthew and Louise Baxter, the new Moonen shipyard owners are tirelessly committed to continue the enduring legacy of the Mooned brand. We see them as our business and family partners in building our world-class ship which will stand the test of time. We are excited about this endeavour and a lifelong relationship with the Baxter’s and Moonen family”
