MOONLIGHT

Moon 60 was conceived for one purpose: covering distance in comfort. She cruises Greek waters — the Cyclades, the Saronic, the Ionian, wherever the wind and your week take you — with the kind of interior that reads modern rather than fashionable, and holds up to close inspection. Her accommodation is unusually generous for a yacht of this type: five double cabins, each with its own en-suite facilities, sleeping ten guests. No hierarchy of good and less-good cabins, no compromise berth tucked into a corner — five equivalent spaces, which makes her a natural fit for two or three families travelling together, or a group of friends who would rather not draw lots for the best room. The layout has clearly been thought through rather than simply drawn. Space is distributed across all decks, so the yacht absorbs ten people without ever feeling crowded — there is room to gather, and just as importantly, room to disappear with a book while everyone else is talking. Under sail she is a proper cruising platform, and that is where she makes the most sense: mornings underway, afternoons at anchor in water clear enough to see the chain, evenings on deck as the light goes off the islands. The crew handle the passage planning, the anchorages and the rhythm of the day, adjusting the itinerary to the weather and to what you actually feel like doing — which, in the Greek islands, changes more often than any printed programme allows.
