Moonen Yachts in the Netherlands has launched and christened Cocoon, a 37.8-meter (124-foot) Martinique. The event took place in December and was the opportunity for the owners to inspect the yacht just before completion and delivery. “The yacht is above my expectations,” said one.
Cocoon began life as YN201, the fourth hull built on the award-winning Moonen Martinique semicustom platform. However, following her sale in early 2022, the owners specified some major changes. The 1.5-meter (5-foot) extension to the swim platform brought her total length to 37.8 meters. In addition to specifying a striking anthracite exterior paint scheme, the owners introduced the design team at Andreas Martin-Löf Arkitekter to create the custom Scandinavian interiors. The yacht will also feature a fully integrated hydraulic Z-lift swim platform at the owners’ request, and an extended sun deck with a total of 65 square meters (700 square feet).
“Cocoon has been a special project for all of us at Moonen Yachts,” said Commercial Director Victor Caminada. “It’s so rewarding for us as yacht builders to welcome the owners here and witness their enthusiasm for their yacht. In their reaction, we could see that everyone involved in the project has got her absolutely spot on. In fact, she’s even better than the owners imagined. Achieving that level of quality while sticking exactly to schedule is a great testament to everybody involved in the project.”
Following sea trials, Cocoon will be delivered in early 2023.
