Moonen Shipyard's 97 , made: Sofia II

Sofia II  is something totaly amazying yacht, certain to be welcomed by the exclusive coterie of yacht owners who appreciate the foremost in yacht design as well as the highest quality construction. Her bright, happy aura is well deserved. The second in its brand-new line of 97-foot , steel-hulled displacement cruisers, she follows the motoryacht Darsea, her predecessor, with added room and other innovations. She will be recognized, the yard expects, by repeat Moonen owners who are already aware of the first-class design, construction, and awards the builder has garnered in its inventive history. Those include 17 International Awards for design, interior, and innovation of superlative products. Four of those trophies were the very top World Awards for their size and type; an admirable record for a mere 27-year undertaking. This new Rene’ van der Velden design, a steel-hull, round-bilge beauty, offers wide range with comfort and scope, plus at-anchor stabilization. Her bright, happy presence promises many fine yachting experiences .
The Moonen 97’ model was developed for clients seeking a long-range yacht , midway between the 72’ and 124’. She is handsomely sculpted by René van der Velden Design over a round-bilge hull by Diana Yacht Design, which delivers what cruisers want. Moonen’s newest yard facility at the classic, medieval Brabant European town of ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, now adds even more capacity to its quarter century of yacht building, with a 63m / 206’ construction hall in the nearby town of Groot-Ammers.


A view from the top shows Sofia II’s clever use of space. The low profile and design of the Flying Bridge adds volume throughout, enabling a larger master suite below as well as guest rooms, plus increased stowage. This also allows a longer afterdeck lounge area, plus increased room below for chartering or augmented crew accommodations. She sports a folding Bimini top on her upper deck, plus two tender cranes as well as a large inflatable tender and water toys. Outboard, her Night Navigator3 thermal imaging system enhances night vision and security.
 
What to say more that this, I think that pictures talking everything about this beauty yacht! For me it is much beter than aleutian yacht that I already wrote about.
