Dutch yard Moonen Yachts has offered a first look inside its latest Moonen 112 Martinique model – the first of its kind with interior design by Vripack – at this year's Palm Beach International Boat Show. The 37.4-metre yacht is currently for sale with IYC and is well underway in its construction journey, with delivery scheduled for September 2025.
The model has a classic, masculine exterior by René van der Velden, a long-standing collaborator responsible for the design of several Moonen series – most recently, the Moonen 110 Mustique. Naval architecture is owed to Diana Yacht Design, with the model built in high-tensile steel for long-range cruising.
The series, which began in 2018 with the World Superyacht Award-winning Brigadoon, is characterised by its broad sundeck, arranged with a sheltered dining area, bar, optional custom whirlpool, and a sofa arrangement forward of the wheelhouse. Other highlights include an extended, 20-square-metre swim platform, al fresco dining on the main deck and "pleasant" quarters for six.
Accommodation is across five cabins, comprising a full-beam owner's suite on the main deck (complete with forward-facing windows), two VIP guest cabins with high ceilings and two lower-deck guest cabins. Interiors are "anchored" by wood, leather and brass, according to Dutch studio Vripack, with the aim of creating a "calm and unfussy" atmosphere. Custom details include an antique bronze mirrored ceiling in the main saloon and a dining room mural inspired by Delftware porcelain.
"We made this [mural] of a Dutch landscape, though it doesn't exist," explained Marnix Hoestra at the initial press unveiling. "And then, as a final touch, I ripped off half of the painting, and that's for the visitors and the guests to imagine what is in the rest of this image."
Powered by twin CAT engines, the build is expected to reach a top speed of 17 knots, a cruising speed of 15 knots and a range of 3,500 nautical miles at 10 knots.
The Martinique model has proved itself popular, with the seventh unit also under construction and the sixth – named Moonshine – already cruising.
