EXPERIENCE BELUGA
BELUGA is an action-packed, explorer-style motor yacht synonymous with adventure. Custom-built by Moonen in 2006 and refitted in 2024, BELUGA was designed as a go-anywhere yacht with a 4,000 nm range. Her robust, elegant style is complemented by a wide beam, which provides her with an unusually large volume for her length.
BELUGA’s interior layout accommodates up to 10-12 guests in five staterooms, including a master suite, two double cabins (each with a dividing wall that can create two single beds), two twin cabins, and two Pullman beds. Timeless styling, exquisite furnishings, and inviting lounge areas throughout her living spaces create an elegant and comfortable atmosphere. BELUGA features four impressive decks, offering privacy and a variety of dining and lounging options. Her expansive sundeck is equipped with a four-person Jacuzzi, while a secret observation spot on the monkey island, or 'Crow’s Nest,' provides the perfect vantage point for whale watching, reef spotting, or enjoying a champagne sunset.
BELUGA is based in Cairns, Australia, the perfect gateway to the UNESCO-listed cruising grounds of the Great Barrier Reef. She is particularly popular for mother-shipping charters during Australia's active marlin fishing season. In June and July, embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey aboard BELUGA as she explores the Northern Great Barrier Reef — one of the world’s few destinations where dwarf minke whales make their seasonal visit.
