Showcased by Damen Yachting at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show

A Masterpiece of Design and Innovation

MOONSTONE is a 60-metre (197 ft) Amels 200, embodying the evolution of the Amels Limited Editions series. Based on the pioneering Amels 188—the world’s first Tier III-compliant superyacht—MOONSTONE refines the original design with increased volume, enhanced technical innovations, and bespoke customisations.

Her Tim Heywood-designed exterior is an elegant evolution of the Amels 188, featuring fluid lines and intricate detailing that capture and reflect light beautifully. Beneath the surface, she integrates hybrid electrical power technology, advanced naval architecture, and a proven technical platform suited for long-range adventures.

The custom interiors by Luxury Projects balance classic craftsmanship with modern innovation, incorporating bespoke lighting, artistic displays, and unique material selections to create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere.

Among the Owner’s customisations is the addition of a WASSP system, enabling real-time 3D seafloor mapping via a multibeam sonar, enhancing navigation and exploration capabilities.
