craftsmanship and attention to detail are widely recognized. Moonen Yachts’ passion lies in delivering exceptional yachts, providing excellent support, and ensuring every detail is of the highest quality.

This representation is further bolstered by the involvement of two highly experienced IYC Sales Consultants, Head of Sales UK, Richard Gray, and Managing Partner California, Matthew Stone, who played key roles in facilitating this collaboration and will lead the sales efforts supported by IYC’s global salesforce. “We are extremely proud to announce a landmark strategic sales representation between IYC and Moonen Yachts, marking a pivotal moment in our companies’ histories.

Moonen Yachts is known for delivering only the highest-quality vessels; a testament to the manufacturer’s philosophy, generational workforce, and legacy. Matthew and Louise Baxter believe in their product and people and are not afraid to take calculated risks to ensure the company’s success,” added Stone.

Owners of Moonen Yachts, Matthew and Louise Baxter, also expressed enthusiasm for this collaboration: “IYC’s global reach, experience in the superyacht market, and knowledge and appreciation of the Moonen brand were critical elements underscoring the strategy to work together. As a Dutch builder of extremely high-quality semi-custom steel-hulled yachts with global navigational capacity it’s important for Moonen Yachts to be strongly represented in key global markets to reach discerning customers that understand the value, comfort, safety, and lifestyle that a Moonen Yacht provides. We believe IYC will do a great job for us and that we will work well together for the benefit of Moonen, IYC, and our customers.”
