Moonen Shipyards in the Netherlands has successfully completed the refit of the Moonen 52 Trojan motor yacht, originally launched in 1988. Having already enjoyed both the experiences and results of an earlier refit at the yard, the owner of the Moonen 52 Trojan, decided to return to Moonen for a wide range of work.
Moonen are delighted to announce the order for a brand new Moonen 82 Alu, a 24.45 metre high-speed aluminium motoryacht, (Building Number 196). The Moonen 82 Alu will be capable of reaching 25 knots and have an exceptional range for a fast yacht, being able to cruise much further than vessels of an equivalent size and speed.
The Moonen 133 superyacht can be described as ‘a cross-over of a cross-over’, blending rugged adventurous looks with modern superyacht stylishness and classic elements. This exceptionally elegant explorer has a low profile, excellent sea handling performance and a very long range. The Moonen design team was responsible for the overall design concept, with René van der Velden adding his delicate touch to the styling.
The owner of the uncompleted Dixon 120 yacht contacted Moonen due to the yard’s growing reputation in the refit market as well as its fine track record of building new superyachts. “Due to the status of the project at the time it was abandoned, the completion of the yacht is a delicate balance between a new build and a refit,” explains Moonen’s director operations Mark Vermeulen.
Motor yacht Livia was styled by René van der Velden, who has created a sleek low-profile exterior with an elegant flared bow, a sloping stern with twin stairways, a graceful sheer line and bold fashion plates. The round-bilged hull from the boards of Diana Yacht Design ensures exceptional comfort at sea, while the economical shaping combines with tankage for some 28,000 litres of fuel to give Livia an impressive transatlantic range.
