An evolution of its predecessor – also called Moonrise, delivered in 2020 – the new Moonrise superyacht has emerged from the Feadship facility in Makkum, the Netherlands. The 101-metre Moonrise incorporates numerous technological enhancements as well as many design refinements.
Both yachts also share design traits, such as sleek exterior lines, a vertical bow and grey and white paintwork. The exterior lines of both yachts were conceived by Studio De Voogt and Rémi Tessier provided the interior designs.

No domes
The most obvious exterior change – and a first for Feadship – is the complete absence of the domes typically found on superyachts. The previous vessel had five domes housing VSAT and TVRO antennas, but the new version has Starlink satellite receivers seamlessly integrated into the yacht’s superstructure. This not only improves communication and streaming capabilities, but also preserves the yacht’s sleek aesthetic.
The mast is also taller, the sun deck more expansive, and the exterior decks and swim platform have been extended. The yacht features an owner’s deck and a private cinema on the bridge deck.

More comfort
The naval architecture has been optimised to ensure comfort whether underway or at anchor. Special attention was paid to minimising noise levels, with the design of the propellers and appendages reducing both underwater noise and interior sound levels. This achievement was made possible by the first known innovative fully resilient-mounted anchor winch foundation, featuring optimised chain routing.
Moonrise is currently undergoing further outfitting and will proceed with sea trials before being delivered to its owner.
