Moon Shadow Yacht Description
-
Heated Jacuzzi on the flybridge:
Relax in luxury with panoramic views; perfect for romance and sunset cocktails with sea breezes. -
Waydoo Flyer One eFoil:
The hottest water toy for guests seeking thrilling exploration and fun gliding above the waves. -
Seabob underwater scooters:
Premium Seabobs for exhilarating underwater adventures—ideal for family fun and active guests.
Heated flybridge jacuzzi. E-foil. Seabob. Beach-club stern. This is not your starter cat.
MOON SHADOW is a 2023 Moon 60 sailing catamaran engineered around guest experience rather than brochure jargon. The upper deck is the main event: a large flybridge with 360° views, deep lounge seating, a full wet bar, and a heated jacuzzi (note: at-anchor pleasure zone, not an underway wave pool). If your idea of “on deck” is more spa than deckchair, this boat is calibrated for you.
Below that, the stern folds out into a practical hydraulic swim platform that doubles as a mini beach club. From there you launch the serious toys: Waydoo Flyer One eFoil, Seabob, towable tube, wakeboard, paddleboards, floating dock, plus a fast 60hp tender. This is a charter where “let’s go for a swim” quietly escalates into a full aquatic hardware demo.
Inside, MOON SHADOW sleeps 10 guests in 5 queen cabins, including two larger VIP suites, all with en-suite bathrooms. The layout is unapologetically adult-friendly: no bunks, no compromises, just equal-comfort cabins so no one draws the short straw. The salon connects cleanly to foredeck and aft cockpit for straightforward circulation and actual usable space rather than ornamental square footage.
Powering all of this is a full-spec tech and comfort stack: Starlink internet, full air conditioning, watermaker, indoor AV, BBQ. The three-person professional crew, including a trained yacht chef with an aggressively capable menu, rounds it out. In short: if you want a modern, 65ft-ish cat that behaves like a boutique micro-resort—with a hot tub on the roof and toys that actually get used—MOON SHADOW is the sensible, high-signal choice.

Reviews
The boat was impeccably clean and the rooms were a good size / very comfortable. With ten friends who are a bit picky there was risk that someone would be stressed but amazingly everyone felt relaxed, well cared for, and had fun in the week. The logistics from the yacht vacay co were easy to follow, everything was on time, the itinerary was great and we looked so swaggy pulling in to each port.
The boat came with tons of things to do. My favorite was the efoil. As a snowboarder i understood the basic mechanics but was still thrilled by the feeling of flying - that was wild. We used the lily pad DAILY (even with swarms of jelly fish - captain CJ helped there). We also used the hot tub and the tv which were nice luxuries in the middle of the sea.
Iona the chef was next level!! She made the best key lime pie I’ve ever had and went over to top for my birthday with carrot cake and chocolate soufflés oh my gosh take me back! She even nailed the snacks having taken my note with an endless supply of my guilty pleasure - Doritos. Thank you Iona!! We loved your cooking.
Tilly the first mate was always kind and ensured no glass went empty (we had pain killers from morning to night!) she took care of all our needs and was helpful for troubleshooting if anything went wrong. She even showed a ton of grace in dealing with my last minute requests at 10pm right before she went off shift!
CJ - let’s gooo! Such a great captain. I felt confident and secure with him at the helm. He was always professional and had great ideas. He also has great stories that entertained us endlessly — ask him about his trip from Capetown to the Seychelles!
All in a fantastic charter that I hope to do again. Thank you so much! #moonshadow
Thank you for another unforgettable week!
For some of us, it was our second trip —
and once again, you absolutely blew us away.
Captain Lene — you are unbelievable.
So calm, capable, and inspiring.
We’re proud of you and grateful for your leadership.
Chef Christina- every single meal was incredible! You spoiled us with your talent.
First Mate H — thank you for staying with us!
You’ll always be our fish whisperer,
dinghy driver, and a true friend.
From map time to island adventures,
toasts, laughter, and sunsets —
you created magic we’ll never forget.
We love you all so much,
and this won’t be the last time!
Thank you Moon Shadow for the memories and thank you Christina, Lene and H!!! We will be following you and hope to see you again. Xo Mindy and Lloyd, New York
We were a group of ten and never felt crowded. Plenty of water activity and the toys to go with. We loved Moon Shadow under power, and truly enjoyed her under sail!!!!
Our trip to the BVI on the Moon Shadow yacht was an unforgettable experience that will stay with us forever. The crew truly went above and beyond to make our time on board special. A special shoutout to Richard for his delicious culinary creations, Lené who navigated the waters with expertise as the best captain, and Herman who was always there to assist as the best deckhand. Their dedication and professionalism made our experience truly exceptional. Thank you to the entire crew for making our trip one to remember!
We planned an amazing catamaran trip around the BVI with yacht vacations. John DeWurst assisted with the planning and coordinating, he was extremely responsive to all questions regarding planning and prep of the trip, payment, etc. Eight of us traveled on the amazing Moon Shadow with the best crew Captain Lene, First mate Herman (H) and chef Christina. The yacht is a 65ft catamaran with amenities you only see at a 5 star hotel. We had every water toy you could imagine, we had a great itinerary and everything was smooth and seamless. Captain Lene kept us safe, H kept us entertained and full of espresso, lattes and drinks while Christina left us speechless with her beautiful tablescapes and delicious meals and snacks! The food was better than any I’ve ever had in the Caribbean. This was a trip of a lifetime. The yacht and the crew are the best you can find. They took care of us every step of the way. We would do it all over and there’s nothing we would change! Truly amazing, this is the company you want to use, this is the yacht you want to be on and this is the crew you want to have!! Stellar!
We just returned from a one week charter on the MOON Shadow. Our amazing crew Captain Lene, First Mate H, and Chef Christina went above and beyond with every detail to create an unforgettable experience for our week. The boat is spectacular - from the top deck with sweeping views while sailing to the dining table overlooking the water. Each space was comfortable, spotless, and simply delightful. We were treated like royalty with gourmet meals paired with craft cocktails each day. We sailed to gorgeous places and always, first and foremost, felt safe. Our trip was customized and curated to exceed all expectations. We cannot express enough gratitude to our crew for taking moments and making memories. A true bucket list trip with dear friends.
For our family of 9, including 7 adult “children,” Moon Shadow was the best vacation we’ve ever enjoyed! The water activities offered hours of laughter and competition! The crew (thanks to Captain Lene and Deck Hand H) were not only capable, but endlessly accommodating! Our food (thank you, Chef Richard) was both beautiful and delicious, every meal topped the one before!! The boat was immaculate, stunning and spacious! The views were breathtaking, both on the boat and during shore excursions. The shore excursions were tailored to our desires…shopping, beach football, searching for the perfect island cocktail. The name “Moon Shadow” will forever bring a smile to our faces!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND, with no reservations!!
Our trip was 3 years in the making to get schedules to coordinate amongst our 4 couples. It was well worth the wait! We had such an unforgettable experience our feet haven’t touched the ground yet.
The Moon Shadow was a beautifully appointed yacht with all the amenities we needed and wanted. Captain Lene’, First Mate, H and our chef Sue took absolute tremendous care of us and did so with kindness and fun.
We spent 8 days aboard the vessel and our itinerary was mostly known but Lene’ made adjustments as needed (such as delaying a stop on one island to avoid the cruise ship crowd) and communicated with us daily, all the while making it clear that this was our trip.
It was a trip of a lifetime and a true vacation for the spirit, body and mind.
We are already thinking of planning our next charter!
Moon Shadow: Thank you for 6 wonderful days in paradise! You were a great crew and planned the perfect trip! It was a week for us to remember for a lifetime. May you have fair winds and following seas. Thank you Lené, H and Richard.

I cannot write high enough praise for the Moon Shadow and its crew, Captain Lene, Deckhand H, and Chef Richard. The experience was fabulous from the time we arrived in the islands and the service was white glove. Each excursion the crew planned was exactly what our group was looking for and their insider knowledge of the island made everything a breeze. The food was absolutely top-notch and you're lucky to be getting Chef Richard because he easily could be the head chef at a Michelin Star restaurant. If you are looking for the perfect getaway in the BVI, stop looking because you've found it aboard the Moon Shadow.
We spent a week on Moon Shadow - 3 couples who have been friends since college.
Lené (El Captain), H-Man and Richard -
Thank you for everything! I had no idea what to expect on a trip like this… Everything was amazing- The food, the views and your expertise was unmatched. I will never be able to step on another boat again! This was a bucket list trip and you guys crushed it! No stress and Happy days!!
A week on Moon Shadow was more that expected. Having been on a BVI charter previously, this was next level. The boat was great but the crew was exceptional. Lené, Richard + H man made aspect of the trip special. Never once did they take the easy -way. Always above and beyond to make our experience amazing. Lené, thank you for the best Captain-ing we have experienced. Never a moment of stres as you bought us to the BEST spots at the BEST times. H we were never without a water toy, best mooring balls, cold beer, champagne refills or fishing rods. Richard what amazing food and far better jokes. Your food made our experience luxury. We will be back!
Jill (Cooper) and Andrew
Wow Moon Shadow! What an amazing week. Every aspect of our trip was perfectly planned and executed. Lené as Captain made us feel safe and comfortable at all times. H-man was always on spot with Mike’s-Island, E-foil, toys, drinks, music and laughs making sure we were #1!!! Richard- every meal was incredible as were the jokes! We have all been friends for 20+ years and you provided an epic trip for us all. Thank you and we hope to see you again soon!
Jill (Cheese) and Adam.
Captain Lené set the tone for our trip with her confident and friendly demeanor. She sailed us to all of the top spots in the BVI. The "no stress" approach of her deck hand, H, added a layer of tranquility, making every moment aboard relaxing.
Richard, our chef, was a culinary master who turned each meal into a delectable masterpiece. I would not miss a meal if I were you!
The Moon Shadow is a beautifully appointed floating haven. From luxurious amenities to practical conveniences, the yacht provides a perfect blend of comfort and style. The inclusion of water toys adds another level of fun to water activities.
What made our voyage truly special, however, was not just the incredible yacht or the breathtaking locations. It was the crew – Lené, H, and Richard – who went above and beyond their roles, becoming not just service providers but new friends we hope to see again.
