Bannenberg & Rowell

The in-house design team De Voogt Naval Architects gave her an exterior with an amount of glass. Also a modern and stylish vertical bow design and a big covered area on the sun deck.

The 34m is a great Idea for people who want to benefit from Feadship’s experience and Quality but don’t want to own a bigger yacht. There are also two other 34m yachts in the queue. All designed as commercial yachts (LY3).

The owner has his stateroom on the main deck. On the lower deck are suites for eight guests. There are double and twin cabins available. The twin cabins can be converted into a VIP cabin. The interior was styled by Bannenberg & Rowell.

“Three years ago, the owner of a pure custom Feadship asked us to build a smaller yacht to Feadship standards. It needed to have a length and draught that would allow access to new markets where mooring facilities are restricted and facilitate cruising in shallower depths. We don’t like saying no to clients at Feadship so we decided to explore whether it was even practical to design and construct a 34-meter cruiser to Feadship quality within the boundaries of this compact size.”

“Our research established that, while building such a custom yacht was indeed possible, it would only be economically viable for the client if we built three of them to the same design template. Turning normal market dynamics on their head, we, therefore, agreed to our client’s proposal as long as he could introduce two more clients who would like to order one of these unique Feadships while, of course, having flexibility in terms of the interior.”

Moon Sand was designed for a highly experienced yacht owner. The design brief has three key elements:

“namely light, space and freedom of choice in terms of recreation”

For me, the special feature on Moon Sand is the reverse flow swimming pool on the main deck. The tender is stored on the sun deck. That saves space for an own garage. The pool features a lifting floor system. The pool can be used as a safe place for kids when the floor lifted up or can be used for swimmers including the reverse system with down lowered floor. We talking of a compactly sized superyacht ;).

Feadship Sales Director Bas Nederpelt comments:

“Over the past months, we have completed an exceptional number of Feadships, ranging in size from 44 to over 100 meters. We have also had the pleasure to work with some marvelous exterior designers, such as Ed Dubois, Tim Heywood, and Andrew Winch. Moon Sand is a testimony to the design excellence we at Feadship can offer clients ourselves.

Take the way the modern superstructure element rises above the classic Feadship bow – and how this element connects with the whole design via the strong and continuous profile line – and you can see why Moon Sand is a superior fusion of contemporary and traditional styles. Her sleek look reflects the fact that her senior designer Tanno Weeda and his team at Feadship have worked tirelessly to create a unified design. And they have certainly succeeded.”

Moon Sand‘s owner’s area has large stateroom, study, two bathrooms and two walk-in dressing rooms. Three suits reserved for six guests. Two of the suits can be transformed into a single stateroom with a separate seating area. A full beam VIP suite is located forward.
