With this global sales representation, IYC is excited to capitalize on its expansive global network, industry-leading marketing expertise, and dynamic platform to drive sales. Through various activations, targeted yacht shows and comprehensive reach, IYC and Moonen will collaborate to amplify the visibility of the shipyard's fleet and attract discerning clients worldwide.

Moonen Yachts, a Dutch boutique shipyard, is dedicated to delivering exclusive and exceptional superyachts in the 111’ to 131’ (34m to 40m) size range. With a focus on upholding the finest tradition of Dutch yacht building, Moonen Yachts ensures an exclusive ownership experience by delivering only two yachts per year.

With over 40 years of expertise in yacht construction, they have established a reputation for building top-quality long-range yachts with steel hulls and aluminum superstructures. Having delivered over 80 yachts worldwide, including renowned classics like the Moonen 84 and Moonen 97, as well as the modern Moonen Martinique, their craftsmanship and attention to detail are widely recognized. Moonen Yachts' passion lies in delivering exceptional yachts, providing excellent support, and ensuring every detail is of the highest quality.

This representation is further bolstered by the involvement of two highly experienced IYC Sales Consultants, Head of Sales UK, Richard Gray, and Managing Partner California, Matthew Stone, who played key roles in facilitating this collaboration and will lead the sales efforts supported by IYC’s global salesforce. “We are extremely proud to announce a landmark strategic sales representation between IYC and Moonen Yachts, marking a pivotal moment in our companies' histories. This collaboration brings together the unparalleled expertise and sales support of IYC, one of the world's leading yacht brokerage houses, with Moonen Yachts’ renowned Dutch craftsmanship and pioneering yacht-building history. Together, we will enhance the sales efforts of the shipyard, ensuring that both clients and brokers receive exceptional support throughout every stage of their Moonen Yachts experience. We are honored to be part of this journey and look forward to supporting Matthew and Louise Baxter’s vision of propelling the shipyard into the future,” said Gray.

“We are thrilled to announce our global partnership with Moonen Yachts. This partnership represents a significant milestone for IYC, Moonen Yachts, Richard Gray, and myself, as it brings together our shared commitment to excellence, innovation, and client satisfaction. Moonen Yachts is known for delivering only the highest-quality vessels; a testament to the manufacturer's philosophy, generational workforce, and legacy. Matthew and Louise Baxter believe in their product and people and are not afraid to take calculated risks to ensure the company's success,” added Stone.

Owners of Moonen Yachts, Matthew and Louise Baxter, also expressed enthusiasm for this collaboration: “IYC’s global reach, experience in the superyacht market, and knowledge and appreciation of the Moonen brand were critical elements underscoring the strategy to work together. As a Dutch builder of extremely high-quality semi-custom steel-hulled yachts with global navigational capacity it’s important for Moonen Yachts to be strongly represented in key global markets to reach discerning customers that understand the value, comfort, safety, and lifestyle that a Moonen Yacht provides. We believe IYC will do a great job for us and that we will work well together for the benefit of Moonen, IYC, and our customers.”
