In Greek mythology, Amphitrite is the goddess of the sea–to be even more specific, the wife of Poseidon. In modern-day history, Amphitrite is a goddess of another sorts–an 84-foot Moonen who will carry her owner and guests on seagoing adventures of their own.
The yacht marks the eight launch in Moonen’s popular semicustom 84 series. In fact, it’s the Dutch yard’s most successful semicustom model, having been introduced just six years ago.Like the series’ other “pocket-size superyachts” (the nickname Moonen gives to its megayachts), Amphitrite features styling by Rene van der Velden Design and a full-displacement steel hull designed by naval architects Stolk Marimecs. But she also bears some differences compared to her sisterships. The interior, by Art-Line Interiors, icludes loose furnishings in the saloon instead of built-ins and both a walk-in closet and a desk in the owner’s stateroom. The main saloon features doussie (an African hardwood) on the sole, while cherrywood adorns walls and furnishings below decks.Top speed is about 12.5 knots at half load, thanks to Caterpillar power.
