LITTLE PERLE (Moonen; 29,18M/95’) is a rare offering: a Dutch-built, ocean-going explorer yacht with transpacific and transatlantic range, available now in Sydney.
Delivered in 2008 and refitted in 2023 by Moonen Yachts with naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design, LITTLE PERLE combines proven offshore capability with timeless design. She is currently in AMSA commercial survey for up to 36 guests, with an upgrade to 45 underway, positioning her as a highly versatile platform for private use or charter operation.
With her full-displacement hull and shallow draft, LITTLE PERLE is perfectly suited to extended cruising in remote regions. She accommodates 9 guests across 4 staterooms, including a full-beam Owner’s Stateroom, and carries up to 5 crew.
Her interiors offer the warmth and volume of a sailing yacht, with high ceilings, rich wood finishes, and exceptional natural light. The main salon features full-height windows and opens directly onto the aft deck for seamless al fresco dining. Above, the flybridge is outfitted with a hot tub, bar, dining area, and a 1,000kg crane, ideal for launching larger tenders or chase boats.
With her Moonen pedigree, proven reliability, and luxury features, LITTLE PERLE is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a globally capable explorer yacht ready for both adventure and charter income.
