Designed as a gaff cutter, she was the fourth yacht in a line of vessels with the same name, built for lawyer Charles Plumtree Johnson, the son of Queen Victoria of England’s personal physician.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398238/image/large-308b8573823c9caef805b7156c5413c0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398238">Constructed in teak over steel, the 32.1-metre sailing yacht was built for speed and performance. She wasted no time in proving her capabilities and completed her first regatta season in 1920, shortly after her launch. During her first decade on the water, she established herself as a strong competitor, winning the Kings Cup regatta in Cowes, England in 1920 and again in 1923, before finishing second in 1924 and 1930 and third in 1931.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398244/image/large-5ea6d6a9b9817b41c1a8c63f80aa2733.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398244" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2342" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonbeam IV32.1m (105'4&quot;)William Fife & Sons1920">Moonbeam IV</a> was sold by her first owner in 1926 to Henry Sutton, who converted her to use a Marconi rig, before she was bought by HRH Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1950. Renamed Deo Juvante, she was refitted as a luxury family cruiser, with spacious interior staterooms and a saloon installed. Her sail area was also reduced from approximately 1,000 square-metres to a more manageable 350 square-metres, with Bermuda ketch rigging and twin six cylinder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1883" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baudouin (Company)">Baudouin</a> engines added. Following his marriage to Academy Award-winning actress Grace Kelly in 1956, Prince Rainier and his new wife famously spent their honeymoon onboard the yacht in the Mediterranean.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398241/image/large-4478024accab505177fe79ba13d5dacc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398241">By 1960 the yacht changed hands again, with Deo Duvante sold to Count Hannibal Scotti of Italy who rechristened her <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2342" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonbeam IV32.1m (105'4&quot;)William Fife & Sons1920">Moonbeam IV</a> and installed new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2207" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="mtu - a Rolls-Royce solution (Company)">Rolls Royce</a> 185 horsepower diesel engines.

Residing in the Savoy Hotel in Yangon, Myanmar, the couple fell in love with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2342" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonbeam IV32.1m (105'4&quot;)William Fife & Sons1920">Moonbeam IV</a> in Greece and decided to restore and relocate her to Burma in April 1999. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398240/image/large-6cc493de11cb61a3fa3cbeb25715d76f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398240">Carried out at Myanmar Shipyard, the refit saw a core team of 15 carpenters, almost entirely locally sourced and led by a Chinese master craftsman known as William. The team inspected, repaired and re-fastened her teak planks, leaving more than 80 percent of her originals from 1914. Inside, Burmese rosewood and satinwood were selected for her interior, with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6286" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="T.

In the years that followed, she became an active attendee of events such as Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, the Westward Cup, the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge, the Trophée Bailli de Suffren and the Palma Superyacht Cup. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398243/image/large-5b831328ac822b36d79daf0120295801.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398243">In 2022, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2342" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonbeam IV32.1m (105'4&quot;)William Fife & Sons1920">Moonbeam IV</a> underwent an extensive refit at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/745" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="JFA Yachts (Company)">JFA Yachts</a> in France, in collaboration with renowned naval carpentry expert Hubert Stagnol.
