Yacht Description
Explorer layout, real comfort. BELUGA is a 34.7m (113ft) Moonen motor yacht built in 2006 and refit in 2024, set up for guests who want a capable platform without giving up the niceties. She sleeps 10 guests in 5 cabins, with the option to consider 12 overnight subject to configuration and approval.
Deck life is the point. A sundeck jacuzzi, multiple alfresco dining areas, and a BBQ mean the group can stay outside and stay together. Short version: you will eat well in the open air.
Water time, sorted. BELUGA comes with a 40ft custom-built chase boat equipped for fishing, scuba, and snorkeling, plus two tenders including a 14ft/4.3m Swift Mirage RIB. Add in toys like Yamaha VX 110 WaveRunner, wakeboard, water skis, inflatable towables, paddleboards, and Seabobs, and the daily schedule basically writes itself.
Stays steady, stays connected. Stabilizers at anchor (and underway) help keep things calm when you stop, and Wi‑Fi is on board for the inevitable “just one quick check-in.” Air conditioning throughout keeps the inside genuinely usable, even when everyone has been in the sun too long.

Charter Reviews
The yacht is amazing and she offers the ultimate getaway for every type of guests.
I was amazed at the volume she has for a 34m yacht.
Her layout is perfect for the guests and the crew to guest ratio is on point.
I would definitely recommend BELUGA with confidence to our clients
A special mention also goes to Tom, who was the dive guy: he was worth every penny for his assistance with everyone in the water/snorkelling, especially the children, for whom he created an ideal first-time snorkelling experience… teaching them facts about the sea, guiding them and generally working hard to make all water experiences fun and unintimidating.
Brittany and Ruby did a fabulous job of keeping the cabins immaculate the second we left them, and they too, were very accomodating to all our needs. The Mexican night, complete with props, sparklers and fun things for the kids, was a highlight, and something the kids really loved.
Tell us the week you have in mind.
We respond within four hours during business hours, with yacht options matched to your guests, dates, and destination.
