CIAO

Rene Van Der Velden's exterior design for this 2007 Moonen creates a profile that balances muscular presence with refined proportions across her 28.93-meter length. CIAO's beam of 6.8 meters gives her a confident stance on the water, while her lines flow with the kind of purposeful elegance that makes other vessels seem overdone by comparison. The interplay between her substantial form and carefully considered details becomes apparent as you move around her on deck—Art-Line's interior vision visible through generous windows that punctuate her white hull like perfectly framed glimpses of the comfort within. Her 158-ton displacement speaks to the solid, reassuring feel underfoot as you explore spaces designed for eight guests and maintained by a crew of two. Stolk Marimecs' naval architecture ensures she moves through the water with the kind of steady confidence that transforms daily cruising into something approaching meditation, while her proportions create intimate outdoor spaces that feel both private and connected to the surrounding seascape. Every angle reveals Van Der Velden's understanding of how a yacht should present herself—not demanding attention but earning it through honest, well-executed design.
