About Moonen
Moonen has spent decades building yachts with steel hulls and aluminum superstructures, with an emphasis on stability, range and efficiency rather than outright speed. It delivers only a small number of yachts each year from 's-Hertogenbosch, and its work is associated with careful Dutch craftsmanship on a more intimate scale than the large superyacht yards.
The current range is built around proven platforms that let owners personalize interiors and details while benefiting from engineering refined over several hulls. The new flagship, the Moonen 133 Mallorca, was introduced at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2025, extending the range to 40 meters.
For owners, the appeal is a yacht with ocean-going capability, generous volume for her length and more manageable operating needs than a larger superyacht. Many Moonens are run by owners who spend long stretches aboard, and the yard's following reflects that loyalty.

Discuss a Moonen yacht →Buying a Moonen yacht
A Moonen is usually bought by someone who intends to cruise far and comfortably. Survey attention should go to the steel hull and its coating system, stabilizers, generators and the long-range systems such as watermakers and fuel management. Age matters less than maintenance, and a carefully kept older Moonen can be a very sound yacht.
These yachts are sized for a smaller crew than larger superyachts, which suits owners who plan to spend long periods aboard. They travel widely, from the Mediterranean to New England and the Caribbean, so it is worth checking how a particular yacht has been equipped for the waters she has cruised. Daniel's guide to buying a yacht covers how to plan the purchase, and his New York base suits buyers cruising the Northeast.
Selling a Moonen yacht
Moonen's limited production means true comparables need care. Daniel looks at sold yachts of similar size, construction and age, including other Dutch steel yachts, then adjusts for condition, refit work and equipment. A private valuation sets out that reasoning so the owner can see how the figure was reached.
Buyers for these yachts are often experienced owners who value range and build quality over fashion, and some are stepping down from larger yachts. Daniel can approach them privately or market more broadly with cooperating brokers and at shows such as Fort Lauderdale and Monaco. Preparing maintenance records and a recent survey helps buyers move with confidence.
Moonen new builds
Owners considering a new Moonen can look at the yard's current platforms and adapt the interior and details to their own brief. Daniel can help compare options, coordinate with the yard and bring in an owner's representative, acting independently for the client. Because the platforms are proven, the conversation tends to focus on how the owner will live aboard: cabin arrangement, tender and toy storage, and the equipment needed for the regions they intend to cruise.
Why work with Daniel Grant
Daniel's clients include owners who prefer a yacht they can use freely rather than one that needs a large organization behind it. He works from Miami, New York and Europe with Reel Deal Yachts' brokerage infrastructure in support, and brings to a Moonen sale or search a clear sense of how long-range yachts are actually used.
His approach is quiet and personal, and he is candid about where a particular yacht stands against others of her kind.
