Moonen introduces 49m Caribbean line’s flagship Monito

From Yacht Harbour

With the first Matica launched and the first Martinique under construction, Dutch shipyard’s Moonen Caribbean line is making waves in the 30 to 50-metre superyacht market.

Created by Rene van der Velden, the designs showcase a cool modern twist on the classic Moonen look. All seven models in the series benefit from a superior seakeeping performance, low fuel consumption, low noise & vibration, exquisite finishing, low operational costs and a high resale value.

The largest fast displacement motoryacht in Moonen’s line is the 49.50-metre Monito. Designed to Lloyds and MCA, this fast displacement motoryacht benefits from an efficient round bilge hull built in high tensile steel. This allows for a top speed of 18.5 knots and a cruising speed of 16 knots.

The Monito’s fuel consumption offers a transatlantic range of 3900nm at 11 knots while carrying 55,000 litres. Her limited draught ensures that the Monito can easily reach tropical waters off limits to many vessels.

The stern area can be customized, the swim platform arranged in several ways, while the multifunctional transom space can be transformed into a spa, gym or a place for relaxation. The forepeak features a recessed tender bay with lifting platform.

The interior features 60m² full-beam main deck master, including two bathrooms, walk-in closet and private study. The lower deck houses four VIPs, or five guest cabins. There’s also a captain’s cabin on the bridge deck and crew cabins for eight on the lower deck.

Another layout version accommodates 12 guests in six suites and 11 crew members in six cabins. Regardless of the layout, privacy is assured by a smart deployment of dedicated crew areas and stairs. The professional 22m² galley features a food lift running between the main and bridge decks.
