Yesterday was an unusually hot day in Holland: temperatures around 80 degrees. So the afternoon sea trial my fellow journalists and I took aboard a new Moonen 97, Darsea, was refreshing.
Darsea is one of five megayachts the yard will be delivering over the next two years. She was docked alongside the new shed the 30-year-old company is constructing in Groot-Ammers, about a 40-minute car ride from its original facility in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. That new shed will allow Moonen to construct two yachts in the 100-foot-plus range side by side, while its “smaller” yachts from 85 feet up will remain in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
Here’s a quick look at Darsea and at our cruise along the River Lek, which leads to Rotterdam.
