BELUGA is an explorer-style motor yacht, custom-built by Moonen in 2006 and last refitted in 2018. She was built as a go-anywhere yacht with 4,000 nm range, a robust elegant style, a wide beam, and therefore unusually large volume for her length.

Timeless styling, beautiful furnishings and sumptuous seating feature throughout her living areas to create an elegant and comfortable atmosphere.
BELUGA operates with her own custom-built 40ft Assegai chaseboat: MINKE is fully equipped for all types of fishing, scuba and snorkelling adventures in the most fantastic locations. BELUGA comprises of four impressive decks, providing privacy and numerous dining and lounging options. Her expansive sundeck features a 4-person Jacuzzi, whilst a secret spot is hidden up the monkey island or “Grand Crow’s Nest”… the ideal place for whale watching, reef spotting, or enjoying a champagne sunset!
