"<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> gave us the creative freedom to propose an original interior concept for this popular series yacht, which felt like an ideal opportunity to celebrate the strength and vision of our shared Dutch heritage,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a> co-creative director, Marnix Hoekstra. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353254/image/large-b4d5ec8e5a62ef4dd1abbd818e4c8724.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353254">“At <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>, we believe that interior design is more than just aesthetics - it’s a deeply personal experience. With a meticulous approach and a passion for creativity, we’ve infused the interior of YN206 with a unique vision and a touch of Dutch pride. Each step of the process is a journey, transforming inspiration into a beautiful reality crafted just for you,” added Hoekstra.At a volume of 345 GT, the vessel is able to sleep as many as 12 guests across a five stateroom configuration, while further accommodation is available to support a crew of up to seven members. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353260/image/large-205dd59a67fb76fefae11db161fcd131.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353260"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353261/image/large-70f696c82bab2559250b72c8e693d992.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353261">Among the yacht’s most standout amenities is her full-beam owner’s suite located on the main deck, which spans 37-square-metres and boasts forward-facing windows with 180-degree views. Remaining guests are hosted in two VIP ensuite staterooms and two additional staterooms on the lower deck. The main deck is also home to an expansive galley and pantry for dining.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353257/image/large-c6d9785772fef7abcb8dd1bbb9ed48f7.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353257">In terms of its decor, the owner’s suite is embellished with White Emperador marble walls, ash bleached oak floors and Belvedere quartzite basins in the ensuite bathroom. A detail that differentiates the eight Moonen Martinique from previous models is the aft-facing king-size bed. “It seems like a minor detail to flip the position of the bed, yet this gives owners clear sight lines out to sea when they wake rather than looking onto the bow which impedes the view,” Hoekstra shared.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353258/image/large-df2d8f704170e872b4f0e82cd1b780ca.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353258">At the heart of the yacht’s design are three materials: wood, leather and brass, which are married to a warm mid-century colour scheme of light taupe and grey. Inside the main saloon is an antique bronze mirrored ceiling referencing 17th century Dutch architecture, while several shades of blue and a Delftware-inspired mural on the dining room wall are also a nod to the Netherlands. As Hoekstra said, “The white and blue of Dutch Delftware porcelain is iconic and instantly recognisable.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353253/image/large-1ba4908b1bfa504a6c33f8526414f5e4.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353253">We used hand sketching techniques combined with artificial intelligence to create a scene that is rich with feeling, from the lush forests and deep bodies of water that we have in Holland, to the bird in flight which could be interpreted as the project’s namesake Moonbird.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353273/image/large-969bee81fa2b100d1d41612878472758.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353273">As for the ripped upper section of the mural, Hoekstra elaborated: “We didn’t want to make it neat and square but highlight the quirkiness of Dutch design by ripping the corner off. It's been made using revolutionary software, but guests are free to imagine the rest themselves. That itself is very Dutch.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353275/image/large-11bc7f2d1ef76ba86a17cf0694da4d2f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353275">Moving to the main deck lobby where a central staircase connects all three decks, here the glossy turquoise walls are paired with light taupe treads, a second mirrored ceiling and antique bronze finishes.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353274/image/large-21f8085a7430504317fcdb2de8dbb137.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353274">The 17th century motifs extend to the yacht’s sky lounge, which offers a framed TVabove a bioethanol fireplace with a cream marble surround. This setup is encircled by two inset cabinets for displaying trinkets with full-height, fully opening bi-fold doors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353256/image/large-e08e073d3dcc470c6b3c43b0c01490b7.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353256">Outdoors, the motor yacht’s exterior highlights include her extended 20-square-metre platform equipped with hydraulic Z-lift swim stairs, along with her expansive sundeck containing a sheltered dining area. Additional alfresco entertainment can be found in the sundeck’s bar area or optional custom whirlpool, while a Portuguese bridge sofa arrangement offering far-reaching vistas can be found forward of the wheelhouse.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353250/image/large-d3ed3a66d6874c7fb09976b1b5e396c6.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353250"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353252/image/large-a1ad4842777362b0a4282840266a2861.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353252"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353251/image/large-5a6619c75ac72c4c6d3ca01b56c95b99.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353251">Regarding her performance, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> 112 Martinique yacht is powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1408" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Caterpillar Inc (Company)">Caterpillar</a> engines that propel her to a cruising speed of 14.5 knots and a top speed of 17 knots.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen Yachts</a> is nearing the completion of the seventh superyacht in its premium semi-custom Martinique model, the 37.4-metre YN205.

It’s ideal for an experienced owner, the charter market, and beyond.” Richard Gray, Global Sales Consultant and head of Sales for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> in the UK, agreed: “Few competitors offer a similar steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with the next delivery from others not available until 2031.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347969/image/large-be0769ccfb2e2fc5914a31c8a19f0ae0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347969">Spacious, elegant, and durableThe fast-displacement hull of the Martinique model is built with high-tensile steel, creating a lighter yacht without sacrificing comfort and strength. This innovation pairs durability with sleek lines and an impressive 345 GT volume – a standout feature in her class. “Achieving this interior volume while preserving the yacht’s elegant exterior lines was an intense process, made possible through close collaboration with exterior designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/241" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="René van der Velden Yacht Design (Company)">René van der Velden</a> and naval architect <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Diana Yacht Design (Company)">Diana Yacht Design</a>,” said Nicky.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299269/image/large-818a3710a040f9c99d60192a9b7e6f87.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299269">While the 345 GT volume is remarkable, it’s the efficient use of space that truly stands out. Guest areas have been optimised in the main saloon, bridge deck sky lounge, and even crew quarters, thanks to a wide-pointed superstructure and input from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6871" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hollander Yacht Design (Company)">Hollander Yacht Design</a>. “Floor-to-ceiling windows and seamless indoor-outdoor flow further enhance the sense of spaciousness,” he added. “At boat shows, we often need to explain that our Martinique model is only 37.4 metres long – not 40 metres."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347971/image/large-acb8a2861741458495201bae97fce4a0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347971" 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;">Versatile and customisableYN205 offers an even more spacious and versatile layout than earlier Martinique yachts. This latest model features a fully commercial stainless steel galley, an extended sun deck, a 20-square-metre swim platform equipped with a hydraulic Z-lift, and more.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347975/image/large-a132b9e051420cb3896da636bac078f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347975" 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;">Customisation options remain a hallmark of the model. “We can adapt exterior layouts with elements like sofas, Jacuzzis, bars, and loose furniture, while interiors remain flexible. It’s in our DNA to go the extra mile to realise an owner’s vision, even late in the build process,” said Nicky.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347976/image/large-835ddc19ab26030941270fc79c112f83.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347976">The yacht accommodates 12 guests across two VIP staterooms and two en-suite guest staterooms, with a crew of seven. “Its versatile layout makes it equally ideal for families, couples, or singles. Combined with its transatlantic capabilities, this flexibility makes YN205 an excellent choice for the charter market,” added Matthew.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347977/image/large-e93d5bde5e0d55570a6c56ee0bc91230.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347977" 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;">Built for Transatlantic adventureThe Martinique model was originally envisioned as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a>’s Caribbean-focused range, tailored for the US market. “We optimised the yacht’s length, beam, and height, achieving an impressively low draft of just 2.15 metres – ideal for shallow Caribbean waters – and a top speed of 17 knots,” said Nicky.With a range of 4,000 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 10 knots, “Martinique yachts have demonstrated transatlantic capabilities, even on a maiden voyage. This speaks volumes about <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a>’s craftsmanship,” added Richard. With equipment far above market standards in both size and quality, plus integrated system redundancies, owners can rely on safe and comfortable cruising with transatlantic range.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347979/image/large-092f1565c46ebb596cb7bb351095ccae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347979">YN205 is also designed for dual use on either side of the Atlantic, with a converter for the shore power input for both US and European standards and US and European power outlets throughout the entire yacht. Added bollards and fairleads for side mooring further cater to the US market, where side mooring is more common than in the Mediterranean.Dutch craftsmanship“While many manufacturers charge extra for commercial compliance and worldwide power, this is one example of many that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> includes as standard, setting the Martinique apart as a comprehensive package,” said Matthew. “Very few yachts in this size segment offer such an impressive range and commercial cruising registry. It’s far easier to remove a yacht from commercial compliance than to reinstate it, giving this yacht a significant advantage,” he added.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347980/image/large-985238f681dd7baa734c2fb08fa57dcf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347980">Another highlight is the two-year global shipyard warranty, double the industry standard for this size range. “This shows the confidence <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> has in the quality of their yachts,” said Richard. “Yachts need to be used and tested, as many issues don’t surface in the first year,” explained Nicky, adding: “With only two yachts built annually, our craftsmen know each vessel inside and out. We can fly anywhere in the world to handle minor adjustments quickly and effectively.”“Buying a yacht is an emotional decision – you’re investing in a dream and a lifestyle,” said Matthew. "<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> ensures the yacht is always ready when it matters. There’s nothing else like the package provided with YN205,” he concluded.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347978/image/large-d6705b377c77d6da4d0fd91900349c9b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347978">Meet <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> in Palm BeachVisitors to the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/267" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Palm Beach International Boat Show - 2025">Palm Beach International Boat Show</a> can explore the craftsmanship of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen Yachts</a> firsthand by visiting the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> stand.

Yachts attending the Miami International Boat Show 2025

SuperYacht Times takes a look at yachts attending the upcoming Miami International Boat Show 2025. 


Five years after their acquisition of Dutch yacht builder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen Yachts</a>, Matthew and Louise Baxter reflect on their transformative journey during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show - 2024">Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show</a>. We discussed the challenges they have faced, the plans for the future, as well as the new flagship model the 133 Mallorca. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/338903/image/large-cf4e93a5117434aaa4d6a648edbe9d01.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/338903">Matthew and Louise are joined during the conversation by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>’s Matt Stone and Richard Gray, who discuss the recent partnership between the two companies, with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> now representing the shipyard in an exclusive global partnership.Since acquiring <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen Yachts</a> in 2019, how have your goals and visions evolved over the years?Matthew Baxter: We had always admired <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen Yachts</a> and the quality of its yachts prior to our acquisition but our primary aim at the start was to stabilise the business – that was non- negotiable. We had to ensure the company’s survival and future success, which involved some tough decisions. Retaining our core team was vital because their skills were indispensable. We had to streamline operations, which meant letting go some staff, focusing only on those integral to our mission. We strongly felt that the 122 Martinique was a solid product, capable of taking the brand forward. In terms of the shipyard’s history we certainly feel that this has been a good period and that we’ve achieved what we were hoping to achieve.&nbsp;Louise Baxter: Yes, it was about protecting the craftsmanship and expertise that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen Yachts</a> had cultivated over the years. Over time, we’ve sold and delivered five Martinique yachts and currently have two more under construction. It’s been a period of positive growth for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen Yachts</a>' legacy, proving our commitment was more than just a business investment. We like to say to our clients “love the space you’re in”, which is exactly what you get with a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen Yachts</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/338904/image/large-a1be3562ecabb6b93be6d6e835de12a8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/338904">Could you share some of the most significant milestones you’ve reached since taking over?Matthew Baxter: Achieving stability was the most significant milestone. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> had faced financial challenges before our acquisition, including periods of receivership. Convincing clients to trust us – to commit significant deposits – was crucial. For example, we have taken an industry leading position by offering a two-year warranty period. This confidence building approach and our personal commitment has been game-changing for the shipyard.&nbsp;Louise Baxter: We’ve also majorly modernised the shipyard by investing in infrastructure and new technology. Everything from CNC machines to updated facilities has been refreshed, enabling our artisans to work with the best tools available. This rejuvenation has empowered our staff and fostered an environment where excellence thrives.&nbsp;Matthew Baxter: The investment in technology has enabled us to increase our capabilities. We’ve had up to six yachts in various stages of construction in the past year, more than at any other time in the businesses history, demonstrating the investment has really come into fruition. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/338907/image/large-25e04030304092b4ed28eefb7d754974.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/338907">How did <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> navigate the challenges posed by the pandemic, and what impact did it have on the superyacht industry?Matthew Baxter: Interestingly, as we saw across the industry the superyacht market surged during the pandemic. This was unexpected but logical when you consider that high-net-worth individuals sought exclusive means to travel and unwind. Although <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> isn’t a mass producer, we leveraged our nimbleness and strong team spirit to stay active during this period.&nbsp;Louise Baxter: One significant challenge was sourcing materials. Supply chain disruptions led us to take some unusual opportunities, such as purchasing an entire teak tree to ensure continuity. Our hands-on approach and quick decision-making were essential in overcoming these obstacles. One of the biggest impacts that is still felt is the impact of inflation on costs. The overall build cost is significantly higher today than it was prior to the pandemic, which has had a knock-on impact for customers. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/338905/image/large-9425ef9b27bb6b6d481e4631fd922560.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/338905"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a>&nbsp;recently partnered with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>. What value does this partnership bring to both brands?Matthew Baxter: The value here is in the relationship. We’re not marketeers by nature – our focus is on building the highest quality yachts. We recognised that as a small shipyard we have had difficulty in covering the global market, we simply didn’t have enough representation and exposure in key market locations. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>’s involvement has increased our exposure, especially in the American market, where we’re seeing significant interest. This partnership enables us to stay true to our brand while reaching new audiences.&nbsp;We were first introduced to Matt Stone and Richard Grey in 2023 and they were interested in what we have to offer as a shipyard with a personalised service and extremely high build quality. We liked their energy and style and it felt like a good fit to join forces. They had a great insight into the broader market and great expertise and brokerage perspective.&nbsp;Matt Stone: From a broker’s perspective, partnering with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> has been an excellent step forward. We’ve brought our extensive brokerage expertise to the table, enabling Moonen to focus on what they do best: building exceptional yachts. We have over 30 brokers with a diverse range of experience, from 30-metre new-builds to 80-metre projects, and we’re using this to position Moonen effectively within the market.Richard Gray: Exactly. The collaboration allows <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> to leverage our global reach and marketing acumen, which the shipyard historically lacked. This partnership means we can represent <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> not just in sales but as the global face of the brand. We even operate with Moonen email addresses and integrate <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>’s support services, like yacht management, which gives clients a seamless experience from acquisition through after-sales.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/338908/image/large-ea851191e41162c33c63c764ca879d5d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/338908">You have just unveiled a teaser of your new 40-metre model, can you share a bit of the story behind this development?Matthew Baxter: We are proud to introduce our latest creation – the 133 Mallorca. At 40 metres, she is nothing short of stunning. This project marks an exciting new chapter.To ensure everything was in order, we even received confirmation this morning that the name has passed trademark checks with a Dutch attorney. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/241" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="René van der Velden Yacht Design (Company)">René van der Velden</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a>’s long-term yacht designer, provided the concept. Louise has been deeply involved in the interior design, collaborating extensively with the talented team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>. Their attention to detail and ability to truly listen has made them an outstanding partner. While many claim an interest in a 40-metre yacht, few come close to what we’ve achieved here. This project is unique, crafted with care and meticulous attention to detail over the past twelve months.The 133 Mallorca is currently being offered to select and discerning clients for the opportunity to be the first buyer of this exclusive model. The 133 Mallorca will only be built to order yacht. Delivery in Spring 2027 is possible.Louise Baxter: The Mallorca’s profile exudes sophistication, evoking a sense of familiarity with a modern twist – a nod to our brand's distinctive DNA. Initial renderings and interior previews are available for review by interested clients. Importantly, our design allows the yacht to pass beneath Dutch bridges without modifications, aside from the flybridge, which will be added later.Richard Gray: This vessel promises to capture significant attention, reflecting the storied excellence of Dutch shipbuilding. Feedback from seasoned yacht owners, who have noted the stability of Dutch designs compared to other builds, further highlights our commitment to quality. Unlike some counterparts, which are known to roll, the Mallorca stands as a testament to sturdy, well-engineered design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/75340/image/large-4ed62d8b674bc21cae386d8e56437c5e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/75340">How do you balance&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a>’s heritage with the need for innovation?Matthew Baxter: Preserving <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moone</a>n’s DNA is paramount. The hallmark of a Moonen yacht is its quality – a commitment we’re not willing to compromise. We stay loyal to our size range of 34 to 40 metres, ensuring our yachts maintain their recognisable elegance. Our strategy has been to evolve without losing sight of the craftsmanship and identity that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> is known for.Louise Baxter: We’re open to change, especially when it comes to embracing new technologies. However, as a smaller shipyard, we can’t afford to pioneer unproven methods. Instead, we adopt tested innovations that align with our standards, ensuring reliability while adapting to client preferences, particularly in expanding our reach to the American market.&nbsp;What drives your passion for owning and running&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a>?Matthew Baxter: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> was more than just another business acquisition for us; it became a passion project. We’re used to turning companies around, but this was different. The satisfaction we get from building something as beautiful and unique as a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> yacht is incomparable. It’s about quality, not quantity – we want <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> to remain a boutique shipyard known for unmatched craftsmanship.Louise Baxter: The relationships we build with clients are another highlight. Every handover is a moment of immense pride. These connections often turn into lasting friendships, reflecting the family spirit at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a>. Seeing clients’ joy and knowing we’ve played a part in fulfilling their dream is priceless.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/338906/image/large-0156c137b253f355305b675e0fbaf9dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/338906">What can you tell us about future plans for&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a>?Matthew Baxter: We’re excited to announce the development of a new 40-metre model called the 133 Mallorca. It embodies <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a>’s timeless elegance with a modern twist.
