Moonen Yachts Review

Moonen Yachts was founded more than twenty-five years ago in the Netherlands. At first, they built mostly steel cruisers for local clientele. However, they quickly gained a reputation for both quality and service and began to expand their reach eventually becoming one of the leading super yacht builders for the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and the East. During their tenure, they have delivered more than seventy yachts and have won numerous awards. The reason for the low production number is that Moonen only constructs three or four yachts per year. This is done to guarantee that full attention is given to each customer and each yacht. Currently, Moonen is developing new models as well as creating custom yachts. The largest yacht constructed to date by Moonen was 124 feet, however, due to customer requests a new facility has been built where yachts up to 150 feet can be built. The interior of Moonen yachts are truly a luxurious environment and include handmade wood joinery and an interior that is not only designed with the owners preferences in mind but also completely decorated and furnished. However, a yacht cannot sail on looks alone. The yachts are designed to be extremely stable, maneuverable, and silent with the most up to date technology available.

One of the only concerns a new owner might have is in the ability to have their yacht serviced. Because Moonen is a niche producer, they do not have facilities all around the world and one might first suppose that it would be difficult to get warranty work completed, or replacement parts installed. However, Moonen technicians can be sent anywhere in the world. This makes it possible for owners to be completely confident that their yacht will not leave them stranded when they are exploring one of the more remote areas of the world’s oceans.

Pricing

The price of a new Moonen super yacht must be obtained directly from the company or an authorized dealer because each yacht is built entirely to the specifications of the customer. Previously owned Moonen yachts range in price from about $400,000 to nearly $17 million. The price for both new and previously owned yachts depends on the year of construction and the custom options that were chosen.

Pros

• Custom design allows for each owner to have the yacht of their dreams.
• Great attention to detail and customer service.

Cons

• Prohibitively expensive for the average consumer.

Featured Models

In addition to the many custom yachts built by Moonen, current models include the Moonen 124, Moonen 99 Alu, moonen 97, Moonen 84, and the Moonen 94 Alu.

Conclusion

The reputation of Moonen Yachts is one of fantastic luxury
