Moonen Yachts delivered the sixth unit of their successful Martinique series, christened Moonshine.
Constructed with a high-tensile steel hull and aluminum deck, the Martinique boasts a top speed of 17 knots and can cruise up to 4,000 nautical miles at 10 knots. Her generous size, 345 Gross Tonnage, features five cabins for up to 12 guests and seven crew members.
The exterior design of the Martinique series comes from René van der Velden, while the naval architecture was done by Diana Yacht Design. The owners chose a luxurious and distinctive interior design in partnership with Hollander Yacht Design.
Technical Director Nicky van Zon mentions that Moonen Yachts made several custom modifications to the yacht to align with the owners’ preferences and intended use, such as adjusting the yacht’s size to accommodate a specific docking area.
Moonshine embarked on her inaugural journey, sailing to Mallorca for her proprietors’ initial season at sea. Moonshine will voyage through the Mediterranean and the Caribbean this year before settling in San Diego, California.
Moonen Yachts is also constructing the seventh Martinique, YN205, which is on the market for sale and is scheduled for delivery in April 2025.
SHARING IS CARING - THANK YOU!
