New Launch: Moonen 97' "Darsea"
June 20, 2008:’s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands: Moonen Yachts have announced the launch of the first of two 97 foot pocket yachts, the
Darsea. Though the two Moonen 97 are “sisterships,” they are far from “identical twins,” each being highly customized by their clients.
The first one has a fixed bimini top, a single bridge-deck tender crane, a walk-through galley opening to the wheelhouse, three staterooms with double berths and one with twins. The second, Sofia, has a folding bimini top, two smaller tender cranes, an extended bridge-deck overhang, a U-shape galley, and two twin staterooms below. The saloon and dining area configurations are quite different as well.
The contemporary Art-Line interiors feature ample use of leather, bamboo, paneling and built-in furniture of fine cherry veneers. On the first yacht richly classical wenge trim adds drama to the interior, while on the second, lighter more contemporary maple trim creates a contrasting mood.
