Dutch superyacht builder Moonen Yachts has officially begun construction on their latest superyacht, with the keel laying ceremony of YN201 taking place on Friday, November 27th.

The project manager of YN201, Ian Vermoen, attended the keel laying and said "It is always an exciting moment when the keel is laid for a new project. This is the starting point of the construction of YN201 and a time of many milestones leading up to when the yacht will take her final shape. The next big milestone will be the joining of the hull and superstructure in July 2021, before the delivery of a beautiful yacht in 2022."

The 36 metre superyacht is scheduled to be available in Summer 2022 and is now for sale.

Designed by René van der Velden and Diana Yacht Design, YN201 is the fourth 36m superyacht to be built on the shipyards Martinique platform. The interior designer will work closely with the new owners throughout the design process to ensure the interior of the yacht meets their needs and wishes.

Next to YN201, sister ship YN200 is also in build

YN200 is Moonen Yachts' third 36m Martinique and is currently under construction. Also featuring exterior design by Dutch designer René van der Velden and naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design, YN200 is proudly owned by an existing client who previously owned a timeless Moonen 84.

At the owners wish, their new superyacht will feature a jacuzzi and an extended sun deck - a great contribution to Moonen's popular Martinique platform. YN200 will accommodate 10 + 2 guests across one master stateroom and 4 guest staterooms and 7 crew in 4 cabins. The owners are currently working in close cooperation with Studio Indigo to design YN200's interior and she will be delivered in the USA at the end of 2021.
