Moonen Shipyards in the Netherlands recently launched the all-new Moonen 100 Explorer, and is now in the final stages of installing the interior. This long distance, expedition-type yacht was custom-developed with Vripack Naval Architects for a repeat client. The Moonen 100 features a suitably maritime style interior, featuring blonde teak and walnut. A deliberate choice for the layout of the Moonen 100 Explorer was to feature three large suites in order to maximise comfort for the passengers. The owners’ stateroom covers the full beam on the lower deck and has a particularly spacious bathroom plus a walk-in wardrobe. The suite is especially roomy as there are only two other guest cabins, one of which has a double bed, the other two singles and a Pullman…

In fact, ISA – International Shipyards Ancona, confirming its positive sale trend, is extremely proud to announce the sale of its first ever ISA 140’ (43.63 meters) composite motor yacht, the only yacht combining very high performance with low consumption, thus solving many clients’ great dilemma.

The PPP with the port authority (Pelindo3) assures the lease, allowing foreign investment to put in full length pontoon shore access, fenced parking area, a small…
