Moonen launched the longest, highest-displacement yacht it ever built, with the new 38 metre 124. Bringing it out of her construction hall and launched into the Lek River, the 124 had been under construction in Moonen’s Groot-Ammers hall since May 2008, when her steel hull and aluminium superstructure were delivered by barge, then welded together. The move of this flagship build by the dutch builder which displaced about 275 metric tons in light-ship condition, was accomplished by a highly efficient Saan transporter with more than 150 independently controlled wheels. The transporter slowly positioned her at the river’s edge where two high-capacity GPS floating cranes lifted her from the construction cradle and launched her. The Moonen 124 was shaped by René van der Velden Yacht Design over a hullform by Stolk Marimecs naval architects. She is the first Moonen yacht with a four-deck central atrium and spiral staircase. Her layout features a main-deck master suite forward with veranda. Below, two double and two twin guest staterooms centre on the stairs, with crew quarters forward. The Moonen 124 has an innovative interior by Art-Line featuring "fusion" styling of western cherry joinery "spiced" by Oriental details. The wheelhouse is a fine example of ergonomic planning.
