Ahoy Club's Newest Star: MOONSHOT
In a celestial twist to the luxury yachting scene, Ahoy Club has recently announced the addition of MOONSHOT to its exclusive charter management fleet. This 24.64-meter Sanlorenzo yacht, available for charter in the Balearics and French Riviera, showcases a thoughtful blend of Italian craftsmanship, design and functionality.
Luxury yachting reaches new heights with MOONSHOT: a vessel that seamlessly blends form and function. The yacht's main salon exemplifies the importance of designer collaborations in luxury vessels. Furnishings by Minotti, Royal Botania, and Roda elevate the space beyond functionality, Minotti, known for its contemporary elegance, contributes to the salon's sophisticated glow. Royal Botania, with its focus on outdoor luxury, creates the seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Simultaneously, Roda's expertise in blending indoor and outdoor living spaces adds versatility and a touch of nature-inspired luxury to the overall ambiance.
The yacht's expansive deck boasts a teak floor, plush seating, and a dining area creating the perfect ambiance for nights of relaxing or entertaining. A retractable sunshade provides protection from the elements when needed, allowing charter guests to make the most of al fresco living and take in the breathtaking coastal views that complete this idyllic outdoor space. MOONSHOT's cabin bedrooms are a serene retreat with soft greys and whites creating a calming atmosphere, while the bed invites relaxation. An en-suite bathroom, separated by a glass wall, features a marble countertop and a spacious shower.
MOONSHOT's climate control systems play a crucial role in guest comfort. Her tropical air-conditioning ensures a consistent, pleasant environment regardless of external conditions: a particularly useful feature during the Mediterranean summers that allows guests to retreat from the heat without sacrificing the views through the expansive windows.
Other features included to maximise the comfort for those on board are MOONSHOTs stabilisation features; zero speed electric fin stabilisers significantly reduce oscillation and motion, both while cruising and at anchor. This system doesn’t only contribute to guest comfort, but also reduces motion sickness, and improves safety during embarkation and water sports activities.
Additionally, security features like night vision cameras and CCTV will contribute to guest peace of mind, an often overlooked but essential aspect of a luxury charter experience. MOONSHOT can accommodate eight guests across four cabins, offering flexibility for all types of charter groups.
MOONSHOT's entertainment systems reflect the growing importance of technology in luxury yachting. The inclusion of Apple TV and mirrored TVs in the Master and VIP cabins allow guests to indulge in their favourite entertainment systems after a day at sea. The Starlink high-speed internet and a satellite phone ensure connectivity to the outside world from the most remote of locations; catering to both leisure and potential work needs of charter clients.
The yacht's water toys collection, including Fliteboards and a Williams jet tender, adds an active dimension to the charter experience. These features allow guests to engage with the marine environment directly, providing opportunities for both adrenaline-fueled activities and leisurely exploration of coastal areas. The yacht's professional and experienced crew is always on hand to ensure the smooth, safe delivery of these activities.
Through her design, technology and entertainment systems, MOONSHOT represents the evolving standards in luxury yacht charters. As part of Ahoy Club's fleet, she offers a charter experience that balances aesthetic appeal with practical comfort in the popular cruising grounds of the Mediterranean.
