Moonen Sofia

There is a new superyacht sailing through the fascinating ocean of luxury. Long and lean Sofia, launched by renowned Dutch Moonen Shipyards, is their biggest ship to date and proudly flaunts not only an exquisite and sophisticated design but also technological achievements, such as outstanding attenuation of noise and vibration and top of the line equipment. Charismatic and gracious Sophia, one with the spirit of an adventurour expedition vessel and style of an instant classic super yacht. Alluring Sofia, of delightful design and immeasurable elegance.

The bold and elegant silhouette that honors the intricacy of naval architecture is signed by René van der Velden. Sensual, Sofia’s curvacious but lean lines make her appear longer than she is, where inside she keeps a contemporary space of luxury and lightness, in a delightfully open, organic way throughout her decks.

Frank Pieterse and Marylin Bos are the ingenious hand behind the luminous, textured and organically shaped interior, in which every furnishing element blends the lounge’s divisions, in a classically yet surprisingly different way. Warm and curvy, the interior space features an inviting selection of smooth leather sofas, light chairs of sleek stainless steel frames and a soft lighting scheme of white and camel coloured materials that continuously contrast with traditional oak and zebrano veneers throughout all decks.

The intimist ambience is never lost throughout Sofia’s unique sense of openness, holding ostensibly her exceptional sense of style, through a light yet undeniably obvious rich and overflowing design scheme. Oh luscious Sofia.
