Overview
WILLOW, a 27m (89ft) motor yacht built by Moonen in 2006, offers accommodation for 8 to 10 guests across four spacious en suite staterooms. In 2017, she was extended from 84' to 89' and received a complete main deck interior redesign by Laura Pomponi. Her highly efficient round bilge steel hull ensures low fuel consumption at cruising speed, granting her transatlantic capability, as demonstrated by her recent voyage from France to New Zealand via Bermuda, California, and Hawaii.
With extraordinarily low noise and vibration levels, WILLOW provides a comfortable experience for extended cruises. Notably, she features an extended swim platform, ideal for fishing, and a spacious sundeck covering nearly three-quarters of the vessel's length. This is a great opportunity to purchase WILLOW and cruise New Zealand and the Pacific before heading back to her new home port.

Main Deck
Entering from the aft deck, you pass through a glass sliding door, which has a large glass panel on the opposite side. Upon entering, the port side features a large U-shaped settee, while the starboard side houses a storage cabinet with a drop-down TV from the ceiling. Further forward on the starboard side is the dining area with table seating for eight, including built-in seating outboard and four chairs inboard. The port side features a bar with three stools, which also works well for breakfast service. Forward of the bar is the galley, which can be closed off via a pocket door.
Moving forward from the dining area are the stairs to the lower guest cabins and a dayhead located to port. Continuing further forward is the pilot house, which can be closed off from the guest area with two large pocket doors. The main deck area of WILLOW is fitted with very large windows, bringing in an abundance of natural light and offering amazing views.
Pilot House
The pilot house provides excellent visibility through a five-panel windshield. There are doors on both the port and starboard sides leading to the main deck. At the centre and to the starboard side are two Recaro chairs. The floors are finished with teak and holly. The galley can also be entered via the pilot house.
Galley
Located on the port side between the pilot house and saloon bar, the galley features teak and holly flooring. This is a full-service galley, suitable for use by a professional chef or guests. It is thoroughly equipped for formal or informal dining. Pocket doors on both ends of the galley allow the area to be closed off from the pilot house and main saloon.
Crew Quarters
The crew quarters are entered either via the swim platform or from the starboard side of the aft main deck. To the starboard side is the Captain’s cabin, which includes a single berth.
