New and Used Moonen Yachts for Sale

In 1951, 15-year-old Rien Moonen was learning how to run his father’s painting company. Pretty soon he was in charge and his innovative ideas had made the business a success. But it wasn’t until he bought his first boat – a 36-foot (10.9m) steel cruiser – from De Ruiter Shipyards in ’s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, that he knew what he really wanted to do: Build big, beautiful boats. By 1963, Rien Moonen had taken over De Ruiter and renamed it Moonen Shipyard.

From Boat Builder to Luxurious Superyacht Designer

Once at the helm, he broadened the yard’s capabilities and switched to building luxurious superyachts. His focus was on quality, not quantity, which is why Moonen only launched three or four boats a year for the next 50-plus years. During that time, Moonen Shipyard, which later became Moonen Yachts, built four series of award-winning custom-designed superyachts and semi-custom displacement yachts, ranging from 65 (19.8m) to 162 feet (49m).

Each series of used Moonen yachts for sale – Caribbean, Explorer, Full Displacement and Fast Displacement – combines the Netherland’s shipbuilding heritage and Rien Moonen’s passion for exceptional quality and beauty. The result: A brand with a worldwide reputation for delivering the ultimate yachting experience.

Perpetuating Moonen Yacht’s timeless look while staying one step ahead in performance and safety is no easy feat. It takes forward-thinking designers and seasoned craftsmen with decades of experience, cutting-edge tools and on-site solutions to repeatedly build reliable, versatile, seaworthy yachts. Moonen Yachts has all of these advantages at its two modern yards in ’s-Hertogenbosch and Groot-Ammers. Each site has in-house design and engineering offices, mechanical and interior outfitting departments, carpentry, metalworking and paint shops, as well as climate-controlled outfitting sheds.

New Moonen Yacht for Sale Launches 2023

The new tri-deck Moonen 110 under construction at Moonen’s ’s-Hertogenbosch yard includes all the above features and so many more. Exterior designer René van der Velden and Diana Yacht Design took their cue from the highly successful Moonen 84 and 97 builds from 2000 to 2011 and then added the latest advances in technology and creature comforts. The Moonen 110, which is on sale now, will feature a shallow draft for those who favor destinations such as the Bahamas, Mediterranean, Caribbean and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
