MOONDANCE - CUSTOM

Moondance 42.5” Custom Motor Yacht

Prepare to be captivated as this stunning vessel turns heads in every marina. This fully customized trawler-style motor yacht stands out with its distinctive design, drawing inspiration from traditional workboats like trawlers and fireboats. The striking red aluminum hull features conical projections that culminate in robust aluminum tubes, enhancing the yacht's elegant sheer line. Complementing this are silver-colored tubes and rails, while the white superstructure offers panoramic 360-degree views through wrap-around doors and windows, topped with a bold red brim. The boat deck is adorned with two masts that support radar, antennas, lights, and a dinghy lifting boom.

Step inside to discover a bespoke interior inspired by the classic Herreshoff style. The interior boasts exquisite mahogany cabinetry, edge-sawn fir flooring, crisp white walls, and a textured headliner. Forward, the private V-berth offers a luxurious double bed with a latex mattress, ample storage with cabinets and drawers, ventilation, a deck hatch, and an en-suite head.

Aft of the V-berth, a second stateroom accommodates up to three guests with a convertible sofa/pull-out double bed, a single bunk, a table, and a second head—perfect for children or a cozy couple. Both heads are equipped with wall-mounted electric flush toilets, storage, ventilation, sinks, and shower conversions.

Midship, the combined galley, cabin, and pilothouse is just three steps up from the staterooms. The cabin features comfortable seating for four, with additional storage behind and beneath the seats. The pilot area includes three swivel captain's chairs at counter height, which can be oriented for piloting or turned around for dining or working at the countertop.

The fully equipped galley includes a double sink, Force-10 propane stove, top-loading refrigerator, waste bin, full-size microwave, and mahogany-edged countertops, along with custom storage for cookware, plates, glasses, and utensils.

At the rear, a semi-enclosed cockpit features two 6-foot lazarette seats upholstered in Sunbrella fabric, a teak table, and ample covered space. Isinglass can optionally enclose the port and starboard sides, as well as most of the rear, with zippers and ties for fresh air access. A two-step ladder leads to the swim platform, with generous lazarettes on both sides for additional storage.

Cruise in style at speeds exceeding 7.5 MPH while consuming only 2.1 GPH. The in-line Steyr six-cylinder engine, located aft, ensures a quiet main cabin while underway. Hydraulic fin stabilizers minimize roll in rough conditions, allowing for a smooth experience. Steer with a large hydraulic wheel or utilize the Autopilot, which includes a one-knob steering option.

The pilothouse features three comfortable chairs—two at the port helm and one to starboard—ensuring a pleasant experience for all on board. With a range of over 1,250 miles, this yacht is perfect for extended cruising adventures. Upon reaching your anchorage, deployable stabilizer arms with “rocker-stoppers” will keep you steady, even in choppy waters.

The anchor system includes a powerful Tigress windlass with chain and rope capstans, complemented by a unique handheld remote at the bow for easy control of the windlass and thrusters. This feature simplifies single-handed anchoring, even on breezy days. A Bruce Claw anchor with 250 feet of chain (marked in fathoms) and a large Fortress storm anchor with chain and rope are stored in the chain/rope locker.

Heating throughout the yacht is provided by an Espar diesel/kerosene forced air unit, with six adjustable vent outlets for personalized comfort in every room. Access to all mechanical systems and bilge areas is made easy with sturdy hatches throughout the sole, while the Engine Room can be accessed via the starboard lazarette or a sole hatch in the galley.
