CONCEPT – EXPLORING THE PLANET CUSTOM STYLE WITH THE MOONEN NAVARINO

As a top Dutch custom builder, Moonen Shipyards prefers to go with the flow of its clients rather than industry trends. The new Navarino concept is the latest example of this approach. Named after an island gateway to the Antarctic, this 47-metre world traveller combines the attributes of an ‘explorer-type’ motoryacht with an elegant profile appeals to all tastes. Key features include a strong space-enhancing monocoque structure, innovative stern design and excellent fuel consumption.

One of the factors behind the Moonen success story has been the Dutch yard’s ability to offer clients totally custom motoryachts in all shapes and styles. Unveiled for the first time at the #monaco #yacht Show, the #moonennavarino illustrates this point by taking a pioneering new approach to the perception of ‘explorer’ yachts.

We designed this concept to showcase the different ways Moonen owners can enjoy a modern and innovative world traveling #superyacht,” explains managing director Emile Bilterijst, a naval architect himself and part of the Moonen team that worked on this project with designer René van der Velden. “One of the reasons for Moonen’s reputation is our ability to offer motoryachts in all shapes and styles. In this respect the Navarino can serve as a starting point for a client seeking a go-anywhere motoryacht or as inspiration to go in a completely different direction.”

Ideal for all

Based on in-depth market research and client surveys, the Navarino includes all the facilities you would expect from a #yacht designed to have no barriers when it comes to world travelling. These are wrapped in a fresh and contemporary design jacket with various first-time features.

Moonen opted for an ‘explorer-type’ #yacht to illustrate the yard’s custom philosophy because it is an area where some thinking outside of the box is well overdue.

In developing the Navarino we have moved away from the stereotypical image of explorer-type yachts as ‘toys for the boys,’” Bilterijst continues. “There is no golden rule which says world traveller superyachts need to have a masculine design. With her sleek looks and sophisticated main deck layout, the #moonennavarino will change people’s perceptions of how an explorer should look or who might prefer to be on board. And this is why we prefer to call her a ‘go-anywhere’ #superyacht.”
