Moonraker
About
Built at a world class shipyard, the Norship Ulstein shipyard in Norway certainly knows its business.
“Moonraker” was designed by notable architect Mulder Design from Netherlands, and Art-Line /Juan Carlos Espinosa – both of international fame and recognition.
Due to the popularity of this design, a total of 4 of these Norship yacht models were produced, also including “Sun Ark”, “Daloli” and “Impulsive”.
Ordered originally by Mr. John Stalupi of international yachting fame, “Moonraker” was built as a yacht first and then set out to achieve a world speed record for a superyacht. She was equipped with the engines she has now (MTU 16V396) with a gas turbine engine added (no longer on board). In June, 1992 she became with worlds fastest mega yacht with a speed of 66.7 knots. In 2004 another Mulder design motor yacht “World is Not Enough” (owned also by Mr. Stalupi) broke the “Moonraker” record by reaching a top speed of 67 knots.
It would be difficult to estmate the value of “Moonraker” in terms of her history and heritage as she is one of the most recognized yachts in the world. The internet is full of images of her unique profile and her story.
Clients for the charter business certainly attach a value to this intangible aspect of the yacht and for this reason, “Moonraker” enjoys a rather brisk charter demand.
“Moonraker” is very seriously for sale. Offers encouraged!
