Love the layout. Love it! Regarding staying up on the fly, I probably wouldn't. At least not without a full face weather mask with shield for warmth and to protect my glasses. I don't even care for RIB rides because of all the bumping and thumping. I'm much happier chugging along in a slow wooden tender. Always looking for a comfortable and sheltered place to enjoy a cigar even while under way. Given that I'm coming from the Toronto area, I would start by doing the loop. The southern leg anyway. After that it's an open field. Alaska, North Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Vietnam Singapore, Australia, Fiji, Greece, Croatia, etc., etc., etc. As you can imagine, range would be a major factor as would a crew of three. Is there a version that has power and sail? Wondering when boat builders are going to start publishing hull drag coefficients. They can be quite significant in both wind and sail applications. Also looking for boat builders to look at Sharrow propellers to improve efficiencies.

Finally an explorer cat with decent engines and nice layout… thank you for showing this yacht. 😊

That's one beautiful cat and has a great range. Personally with the galley I'd have it down in a hull. I know a lot of people like it up in the salon but they forget that a down galley is more stable being at or even below the water line, very important in rough seas.

John, thanks for another great video review. I'm a huge fan of explorer-type catamarans mainly for their impressive interior volume. The outward-facing berths and beamy hulls are a nice feature. I would cruise this in the Bahamas or coastal in the Northeast (US/Canada) during warmer months. I would prefer a main deck galley. It offers a more social experience for all onboard. I'm looking forward to seeing more from Moon yachts in the future. Good luck to them and congratulations on a fine first launch!

From now on, all videos shot personally from aboard the boat need to be shot whilst sporting a tuxedo. Looking sharp!

Galley with the saloon I think and a day head. Not sure about the orange mural but love the British Racing Green 💚 colours. As with all catamarans, it's difficult to find basic faults and loads to be impressed by. Looking forward to the quadmaran.....

Very nice boat. I'd probably want the galley upstairs for convenience when on watch, but perhaps that could be dealt with by a smaller snack/coffee bar.

Wow, great video! You've really outdone yourself with this one, Mr. Bond!

I like the style Mr. Bond. Great tour, very nice cat

It's a beautiful apartment that you can go absolutely anywhere

Greetings from Northern California, which is currently in another “atmospheric river” as the meteorologists are calling our unusual rainy weather pattern. No I would not have stayed on the fly bridge in that wind, had enough of that in the US Navy. Loved the galley in the port hull, then the cook can rise triumphantly into the salon with the food. Those Cummins engines are used in a lot of long haul trucks in the states. Another interesting presentation, you are quite good at this you know.

its great to see you actually onboard a yacht. makes the tour a hudred times better. not sure i would of sat outside with you, that weather looked pretty cold. thank you for a great video and a great boat.

Great job! What a beauty, happy your living the dream my friend 🛥️😊

I really appreciate the inclusion of deck plans and alternative arrangements. I often get confused about where I am on a boat and how many state rooms there are when watching boat videos. Yacht Buoy's use of plans greatly assists in orientation and understanding. We need a longer time to read the diagrams so I recommend avoiding zooming and panning on plans, at least until after we have had time to view them. This is a good opportunity to explain the benefits of the design, easy access, flow, communal areas, helm location, machinery and work areas, etc. I don't understand why yacht builders don't aim at a 5000nm range to facilitate ocean crossing with reserves. If I go to sea, I go to sea to see the sea. Reviewers stand and walk around the yachts but rarely sit down. So many boats do not have windows one can see out of when seated. At night, in port, one may want to watch a video. Often the screen is not located where seated people can relax and watch the screen. One has to crane the neck. There is no way a lot of people can relax and watch the big race or match of the day. Instead we get to see the anchor locker, walk the side decks, and view day head. Even multi million dollar yachts have such faults by few reviewers will draw our attention to them. I like the phrase, "I would like to see..." I believe all ocean going vessels should have 1.2m or 4' safety rails with panels, rails, wires or netting to prevent fools falling overboard. A rail at waist height allows the upper body half one's weight, to bend over the rail and the motion of the sea may tip one over, especially if one has a tum' full o' rum. I would suggest you invest in a wide angle zoom lens, maybe 16 to 55mm for tight spaces. Do you use a portable vide light on your camera to illuminate dark spaces? I like the boat, like your lady, and the video is really great. Not criticisms, just suggestions. 👍👍👍

Amazing. Exactly the range i need and space. Tks and greetings from Zurich CH.

I love with this moon 60 power catarmaran

Another great video ❤

It's a very cool catamaran, I saw it in black and it fits very well, thanks

John, filming with a tux? Very classy! Looks like all of you had plenty of champagne to drink on your trip.

Looking like James Bond in that tux. You should send a demo reel for it. Order an airsoft Walther PPK or PPQ and do a 45 second Bond walk, turn and shoot. Then do a name, occupation, your military service and your desire to be in there. They are looking for the next Bond. Daniel Craig is out.

Galley down, What a beauty. Great video.

Another great video and a great yacht, cats are starting to take the market by storm, especially as explorer yachts.

Hi John, or should that be Bond, James Bond 🔫 A great effort by Moon yachts. Easy access all areas/stairs. Personally I think the galley is better down, I hate cooking aromas 😮 BRG hull looks sophisticated but the interior marble needs to be lighter, less black veins and same with sinks etc. However it's all academic as the lottery numbers haven't yet come up 😒 Finally what would it's passage making be if it was hybrid battery/motors or even full electric. That huge storage bin is ideal for a battery bank and converters as I personally would be at sail for extended times. I guess I have those traits from my RN late dad. His ashes were scattered in the Bridlington bay as his request by us bobbing up and down in a cobble boat. I need to catch up when you post the Spanish trip as that ship looks the real deal too, certainly no marina queen with that one 😎 Cheers DougT

Galley up in Salon!!!

I’m a new viewer and subscriber. I love the videos. Only one request which is to include the price. Thank you and keep up the great work! Love your descriptive dialogues.

Nice cat. I looked over the layouts and I am not crazy about the layouts though. The jamb a lot of rooms in there instead of offering a few really spacious rooms. For that kind of money I would want an enclosed fly bridge though. The main advantage of this one is the fuel capacity. As far as layout I would rather have an Aquila with a full beam master.

Great video and a fantastic cat

Great video!

Very good video. Positive. 1.good quealty equipment. 2. Good plans for living. Negative. 1. If is wind and waves water cam bridge. Its cost work and clean water use. 2. Back hydrologic platform is nice but side platform is not this keep water and hold ship. Extra Cost disel This is my comment.

John, if I could ever afford any. I would want the galley in the salon area so you're not dealing with stairs to carry plates up to your guests.

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

Awesome mate that is a really nice yacht..

GOOD JOB .

Galley on upper deck will give me a 6th cab. completely remove the helm and have a bigger galley. probably protect the flybridge with retractable windshields, will provide the best flybridge helm.

Hello!! What is the height? For bridge clearance. Thanks. Love watching your videos

It would really nice to do more thorough walk thru

On my short list.

John, as an Explorer is the Moon 60 equipped, or can it be equipped, with a water treatment plant for extended passages?

Interior design is modern but dark. Materials choices look high end. Monohulls have an advantage with full beam cabins but this boat has made the most of the narrow cat hulls. Machinery spaces and storage/stowage are super. Would prefer galley aft in main saloon. Assume the 'exploring' is the warm water variety (exploring the Carib?) as she doesnt look to be configured for cold weather and big seas. Very impressive range.

Nice Cat. It would look better in the Caribbean, with a different color hull of course. London water and weather is so dreary. I get depressed just looking at it. Good presentation. Thank you!

Gally up😊

Lovely! I would take her to Thailand to change out the current crew for a new younger crew..........

Seems very similar to sunreef boats. Interesting to have options.

3,000 nm ?? Wow

Nice

No harm up on the bridge. What are the specs length beam standing depth and running depth. Also overall height. Can there be a Helo on board. Oh and weight? Thank you for sharing. she's a beauty!

For me, it's GALLY UP!! but I can see how this would work. Now how far can you go on a tank at cruise speed??? and can you close in the fly?

I would have stayed. That's the reason you get a yacht like that. You want to feel the Oceans fury and know you are safe and can power through. Tempting the fates, but having the cards stacked in your favor

I'd take this to Tasmania

nice video....what are the hulls made of?

needs W I D E view of all areas

HELLO-What -material is the--consnruction -MOON 60 ??? Thank you !

Big Boy and Girl Toys LOL

I wanna buy that catamaran!!!

Would it have longer range if you ran one engine at a time?

🎉

007 James Bouy Bond!

Wow, this is the first time I've been able to see your face. You're incredibly handsome. You'd probably get more viewers if you showed your face while describing the yachts you show.

i like the boat but the galley is small with almost no counter space.

Price ?

Big HP to make 20knots? The SA built cats run much more economicly it seems, the Leopard 53pc 370 hp and the Two Oceans 84 330HP

Hi, good evening!!! What license I need to be on myself to pay that catamaran

Change the power to "zero-point" & 2 x 300hp electric motors (2237KW) for a 20 to 25knot top speed and able to carry from Cairns to any of the SW pacific Ocean island nations such as Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa and Kiribati end so on (islands where the original CATAMARAN voyagers settled and no need to worry about diesel fuel supplies)

Can it cross the Atlantic Ocean?

✊️🤝👍

Love this vessel but don't like that you can see the subwoofers. Should have gone with KARRAY.

Beautiful Cat. A few things I would change. 1st I would have built in drop down canvas concealed in the fly bridge top for protection from the elements. 2nd I would have the galley down but extend it to include the crew area. This would give you more space for a breakfast nook and a better place for washer and dryer. I think this would make a good owner / operator set up. A big wish item would be heated seats at the FB helm for those cool mornings cruising the Northeast US coast. Would love to see more underway. Keep up the good work.

Vestis virum facit!

Is it aluminium?

So much attention to luxury and yet no dayhead on the main deck.

Now replace the motors with 30kw electric motors,same amount of fuel, 2 small generators. For a max speed of 23.3 knots and a range of 4000nm @ 9kn!

Looks like a nice boat but I was a bit disappointed by their highly uninformative website. Other than pictures there is no real information. What is the material? Aluminium or composite? What is the polish yards experience previously? What are the building standards? For a newcomer, atleast I heavent heard of them, they could provide a bit more substantial information. And to your questions: definitely galley up because everyone wants to hang around in the kitchen. And yes I would have been on the flybridge, atleast five minutes.

How did you get James Bond to be your cameraman?

Very nice cat, personally I think the galley is too small, and I couldn’t live with the colour, great on a sports car, but not on a cat

Nice one. Also would be nice to leave the music away so one can hear the noises when the PC is in motion. Thank you.

A bit too much marble for me, I prefer wood

No I bloody wouldn't have stayed up there

why would you want to sail down that horrible thames river? nice cat though

Sorry but that looks terrible in the water. Not enough buoyancy in the bow.

Look at the terrible bolts on the radar, and caulking as he enters the steps onboard, no grain aliment on cupboard left of the coffee machine, sticky tape labels in the engine room, sowing lines in the lower helm, all over the place. Sorry but this is very far from luxurious, it a mess.
