Moonlight II yacht charter price: specs and rates

Moonlight II is a 91.4 m Neorion charter yacht listed for up to 36 guests in 18 cabins, with 36 crew. Rates are price on application, and the yacht is usually offered in the Mediterranean, including Croatia, France, Italy and Monaco.

The appeal is specific rather than generic: Grecian-inspired interiors; sundeck Jacuzzi — these are the details that shape a week aboard. This page sets out the published rate bands, the specification, what the rate includes and where the yacht charters, so the quote can be read against the boat rather than the brochure.

At 91.4 m, Moonlight II sits in the superyacht bracket, with 36 guests and 36 crew. The cabin plan is 1 Master, 1 VIP, 8 Double, 8 Twin, which is the detail to test against the group before comparing the headline rate.

Rates for this yacht are price on application. The operator quotes by week, season and itinerary, and the final figure depends on the APA, the cruising area and any delivery fee.

Moonlight II yacht charter price

The table below reproduces the published seasonal bands for Moonlight II. Rates are weekly, quoted in euros and US dollars, and described as plus expenses: the base fee covers the yacht and crew, while fuel, food, berthing and the APA sit on top.

Because the rate is on application, the per-person arithmetic has to wait for the operator’s quote. Ask for the weekly base, the APA percentage, the VAT treatment and any delivery fee in one document, then divide the all-in figure by the final guest count. That is the only comparison that holds against published bands on similar yachts, and it keeps an opaque quote from hiding behind a brochure.

The high-season figure is the one to budget from if the dates are fixed to July, August or a holiday week. Low-season and shoulder weeks can be materially cheaper on the same yacht. Treat every figure as a published guide: the operator’s current rate sheet, the chosen week and the cruising area decide the final quote.

What the rate includes and what is extra

The base rate is not the all-in price. A crewed charter normally adds an advance provisioning allowance of 20 to 35 percent of the base, covering fuel, food, berthing, water and the running costs of the itinerary. Local VAT or charter tax applies in many cruising areas, and the crew gratuity is typically 5 to 15 percent of the base.

Ask for the full stack in writing: base rate, APA percentage, VAT treatment, delivery or relocation fee if the yacht has to move, and the cancellation and damage-waiver terms. The yacht charter cost guide explains the arithmetic behind the base rate, the APA and the tip.

Moonlight II specs and accommodation

Moonlight II was built by Neorion in 2005 and refitted in 2020. The yacht measures 91.4 m (299’10) and carries 36 guests in 18 cabins with 36 crew.

Cabin configuration matters more than the headline guest number. 1 Master, 1 VIP, 8 Double, 8 Twin is the published plan; confirm that the mix suits the group before holding a week, especially where couples and children are sharing.

Onboard features and crew

Grecian-inspired interiors; Sundeck Jacuzzi — these are the two features that most change how a week is spent aboard. The rest of the feature list matters, but those are the ones to confirm are available for the dates and the itinerary you have in mind.

The published feature set for Moonlight II includes:

• Grecian-inspired interiors
• Sundeck Jacuzzi
• Helipad space
• Health and beauty centre
• Massage room
• Gentleman’s club

A crew of 36 supports the programme. On a yacht of this size the crew is part of the product: captain, chef, interior and deck team decide how the week actually feels, and the crew-to-guest ratio is a better guide than the brochure language.

Where Moonlight II charters

Summer cruising is usually based in the Mediterranean, including Croatia, France, Italy and Monaco. Winter availability and cruising areas are confirmed by the operator on request. The published regions are a guide to the yacht’s normal programme, not a promise for a specific week; the operator confirms the final area and any delivery fee.

The summer programme is built around the Mediterranean, including Croatia, France, Italy and Monaco. Winter availability and cruising areas are confirmed by the operator on request. A yacht that is already in the right region saves a delivery leg, and a yacht that has to reposition can add a delivery fee and sea days to the week.

If the itinerary is the priority, start from the destinations hub and match the region to the season before comparing yachts. A yacht that is ideal in the Mediterranean in July may not be the right choice for a Caribbean winter week.

Booking and comparable yachts

Peak weeks on a crewed yacht of this size are usually held six to twelve months ahead, while shoulder weeks can be available three to six months out. A signed charter agreement and the deposit secure the week; the preference sheet and final guest list follow later.

Booking Moonlight II follows the standard crewed-charter sequence: confirm the week and area, request the full rate sheet, agree the APA and contract terms, pay the deposit and complete the preference sheet. The charter guide walks through the paperwork.

A comparable yacht in this fleet is Limitless. Compare the published rate, guest count and cabin plan before deciding; the cheapest base rate is rarely the best all-in week once APA, VAT and gratuity are added.
