The Moonen team recently welcomed the HISWA Yacht Valley Designers Tour to their yard in Groot Ammers. Eight leading designers enjoyed a comprehensive tour of the facilities and an informative presentation about Moonen from MD Emile Bilterijst. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137630/image/large-f5e7bd66b1fc9d3bf6ca65de0346c4be.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137630">The overall goal was to explain how Moonen has worked with various designers over the years, including a long-lasting and highly successful relationship with Rene van der Velden in particular. The yard remains open to the possibility of teaming up with other masters of the drawing board especially in the custom superyacht area (one of the four diverse segments in which the yard is active, along with the High Speed, Displacement and Explorer yachts). <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137631/image/large-a6f04efdf57e257f7d8f729eae4328b5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/131629">Emile stressed how new ideas and innovative thinking have always been at the forefront of the Moonen success story. After this presentation the visitors were taken onboard the 42-metre Sofia III, a fully custom motoryacht currently under construction in Groot Ammers. All the designers expressed how impressed they were by the quality as they sat down for a delicious high tea lunch. "All in all this was a very successful visit," says Moonen communication manager Dorien Bilterijst. "We knew some of the designers already while others were here for the first occasion. Such contacts are invaluable for us and we were pleased to receive several requests to make offers following the visit."Moonen Shipyards +31 (0)73 621 0094 <a href="mailto:info@moonen.com?subject=Moonen%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@moonen.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.moonen.com/">www.moonen.com</a>

William Bishop, Sales &amp; New Construction Broker with YPI Brokerage, is very pleased to announce the sale of the very contemporary and superbly styled 43m Baglietto luxury yacht Macalulu. Macalulu first drew some very admiring glances during last year’s Monaco Yacht Show and now, just five months on from the CA being signed with YPI Brokerage, the yacht has been sold for a “very correct price”.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/128258/image/large-3ac706fce77e6f5b452f9e127cc62477.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/128258">“The sale was the result of some very close co-operation across our Divisions,” says Alex Braden, YPI Group Chairman, “notably Brokerage, Charter and Management. And there was an exemplary flow of know-how and networking with our broker colleagues which culminated in what was a very well negotiated sale with our friends at CSO.” “She was worth the extra effort,” William Bishop told SuperYachtTimes.com, “This was a yacht we were passionate about selling, particularly in these interesting times.” Passion is something YPI is well known for within the industry, and following on so soon after their record-breaking sale of the superb 74m Espen Oeino, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1350" data-legacy="true" href="#managed-by-application">Silver</a>, it is a quality that seems to be standing YPI, their clients and partners, in very good stead.“We get results,” smiles Bertrand Vogele, Group Managing Director. “Quite simply…that’s what we’re here for.” ”It is proof once more, if ever any was needed,” adds Alex, “that not all brokerage business, even in these times, has to be 'cut-throat' in nature. Operating good business practice with a firm knowledge of the marketplace still brings excellent results.”
