Damen Yachting has announced the re-delivery of motoryacht Moonstone, following the completion of a significant refit project at the Amels shipyard in the Netherlands. Originally delivered under the name of Albatross by Delta Marine in 2016, the refit works took place over a total of 26 months.

Overseen by British design studio Harrison Eidsgaard, the project featured a major overhaul of both her interior and exterior features. The most substantial alteration was a 7m extension of the yacht, giving her a new overall length of 79.2m and a volume of 2,149GT.

The extension allowed the existing spaces on board to be enhanced with new amenities. A swimming pool was added to the main deck, a private jacuzzi was included on the owner’s deck, and the lower deck now features a generous aft platform designed to offer waterside lounging and easier access for swimming and watersports.

The sundeck was also refreshed, with the addition of a new cocktail bar and winter garden for indoor and al fresco entertaining. To complete her new look, Moonstone was also given a fresh coat of paint across her exterior.

“After months of work on this beautiful project, we proudly bid her farewell,” commented Daan Langezaal, the Project Manager of Moonstone’s refit. “The collaboration with the owner’s team ran like clockwork, and challenges were successfully overcome. A big thank you to everyone involved in this beautiful project.”

Following her departure from Amels’ Vlissingen City shipyard in the Netherlands, Moonstone’s owners plan to privately cruise the yacht throughout summer 2025. Moonstone can accommodate 12 guests, looked after by a crew of 19 with an additional two staff members.

Damon Smallwood, the owners’ representative, stated: “We are proud and pleased with the intensive and effective collaboration that led to this result. The owners have a beautiful yacht to cruise around the world for years to come.”
