Moon Sand Yacht

Author: Peter Yachtfan

The yacht was built by Feadship and delivered to her owners in 2015. She has a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure.

She is powered by a Caterpillar Diesel engine. Which bring her a top speed of 15 knots. Her cruise speed is 12 knots. We estimate her range at 3,500nm.

Yacht Interior

Her interior is designed by Bannenberg & Rowell Design, while De Voogt is responsible for her exterior lines.

Moon Sand can accommodate 8 guests and a crew of 8. The yacht’s windows are as large as possible, offering awesome views.

Main Deck Swimming Pool

The main deck features an innovative swimming pool, with a lifting floor providing the required pool depth.

With the floor fully up, the pool is invisible, providing extra deck space. The pool features a contra-flow and a Jaccuzi position, with the floor position half way.

Moon Sand Too

We think that the yacht’s owner also owns the smaller (33 meter / 110ft) yacht Moon Sand Too. The name is obvious… but also the yacht’s logos are similar and the interiors are both designed by Bannenberg & Rowell.
