In the mid-1990s the owner chartered a Feadship yacht called MI GAEA which he bought soon after and renamed BLUE MOON – he then commissioned the second Blue Moon – launched in 2000 which was the largest aluminium Feadship ever built at the time. The third Blue Moon was commissioned in 2002 with a brief for a sleeker yacht with more accommodation. The owner also wanted more functions and be comfortable in colder climates to enable the exploration of more remote sailing areas. BLUE MOONS profile has a flared bow combined with contemporary touches such as the semi-circular extensions with glass bulwarks on the sun and bridge deck aft.
