It was hilarious that as I finished this video, I had a notification that Meg Seal had posted an Instagram post. Timing is everything. Great video. Thanks, David!
Fantastic yard. I love how it has actual owners and not a large corporation with a ton of stockholders. At least you know when talking to someone at the yard, it’s a short walk to the decision makers. I am sure that the owner that wanted theirs extended the one meter got a pretty quick response as to if it was feasible and the yes they would do it.
I used to work on the old 'Midnight Saga', a 188' Camenga that lived in Monaco. The Boss bought 'Midnight Saga II' , a little 26m Moonen to keep at the bottom of his garden in Norway. It's still one of my favourite yachts around. A chum, Lars Modin, the designer of the Delta 88, lived on a Moonen 80 in Antibes too.
That was fascinating and informative as always David. What absolute pride you can see in the craftsmen and women and clearly led by a very quality focused shipyard owner. Thank you.
Thanks David, I've liked all of your Moonen video they have shown themselves to be innovative in naval engineering, with safety and comfort of owners, guest and crew very much in mind. With a stylish exterior and interior, the décor is tasteful and restful. In short each yacht is not only a masterclass of building it is a masterpiece of yacht that fits the owners needs and wants. Excellent 👌 David thank you.
The amount of customization and attention to detail paired with a willingness to go the extra mile and great craftsmanship is simply amazing! Really like some of the designs shown here like the one of "Sofia" and the scandinavian one.... maybe combine them and throw some Sinot design touches in the mix... I can totally see how that could work out...
A great video! Being able to say "we'll be ready for the next stage by February 2024" is still more accurate than any road construction project. I love seeing the detail the _people_ create, even if it's not a design that I would particularly choose. (Of course, people would probably say my artistic choices are 'too vanilla.' 😆) Looking forward to your next video!
Great video...not so sure about that dry sanding w/o a respirator, but to each their own. lol Perhaps they have some vacuum/purification system we didn't see. (Referring to the sanding of the textured panels.)
Hi Mr. Daid Seal, I'm new to the channel, and have been looking through many of your video's and learning about many of the shipyards out there, I wold like to complement you for your great and informative viewings that you have been posting great job and keep up the great work that you do, I have a few questions with this particular shipyard Moonen, through your video I had learned that they use to produce an 84' yacht and a ninety'esh yacht would they produce an 84' foot yacht again if someone were to be interested again? and two would you be viewing the long history of the shipyard of Astondoa in Spain one day? once again looking forward to your next reportage and keep up the great work that you and your team do thx
I love Sofia. I thought Sofia was the ine youmhad shown in your previous video because that over had Sofia 'stretched' so he coukd load a submarine on it. Also, the chef aboard Sofia was on TH-cam for a while. His channel hasn't posted in several months though. But unless you are Nina, Brennan, Dean or Abbey, it is very hard to get traction as a chef on a yacht for TH-cam.
I always love these behind the scenes of individual shipyards and design centers. Thank you!
It sounds like you have a lot of experience with this and I'd love to learn more from you!

Great video. Thanks, David!
David, you do an excellent job of presenting the yacht and the builders. If I were in the market for a yacht, I would only speak with you.

Terrific yard, very high quality. A great opportunity for someone! Well presented.
Thanks so much, and I agree! A fantastic opportunity for somebody looking for a yacht of this size.

These are really some top notch vessels, from the classic designed superstructure and those fabulous interiors, Wow, Wow, Wow, Excellent work!!!

Hi-End quality Dutch Yachting, Moonen can be named in the same sentence as Feadship and Heesen. Great coverage (as always) 🙂
Thanks for that!
I think you can add Amels to that list aswell
@@supreme5308 dont forgot van der valk shipyard
Lovely presentation of a lovely ship.
Many thanks!
Well done as usual !! 👍
Beautiful Yacht !
Excellent Craftsmanship !
Thanks. I’ve visited quite a few shipyards…Moonen is up there with the best!
When I'm ready to buy a boat I will come to you. My preference is a steel hull, custom build and interior design.
Great Video, looks like a very good ship yard.
It is!

Hi Markus…so you see! Finally a video on the yacht builders channel 😁
A great video! Being able to say "we'll be ready for the next stage by February 2024" is still more accurate than any road construction project.

Glad you enjoyed it. And you are right, the human element in a shipyard makes a big difference!
Great video...not so sure about that dry sanding w/o a respirator, but to each their own. lol Perhaps they have some vacuum/purification system we didn't see. (Referring to the sanding of the textured panels.)
thanks for sharing ......awesome!

No need to twist my arm, I'll buy two! 😁

Hey what if you put magnet in front of the yacht in case u hit a ship, the magnet is going to try to avoid in contact by not making any contact
Honestly it looks no different than a Benetti. Nothing really stands out differently than any other yacht design.
