Maggi comments, “The construction of Moonflower 72 is well underway at our Superyacht Hub dedicated exclusively to full-custom projects. We specifically chose Venice due to its strategic position and the professionalism of the various workers involved. In addition, the harmony between Wider and Nauta Design means that the work is continuing in full compliance with the production plan.”
