Dutch yard Moonen Yachts has announced that its eighth Moonen 122 Martinique yacht, Lollipop, has been delivered to her American owners. The 37.4-metre new build will now spend her first season "exploring some of Europe’s most celebrated destinations", after which, she will be showcased at the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show.
The news comes after Lollipop "performed beyond expectations" during her North Sea trials last month. She hit the water in March at the yard's Den Bosch facilities as a "highly personalised interpretation" of one of Moonen's most popular models.
Long-standing Moonen collaborator René van der Velden is responsible for the design of the line's classic, masculine exterior, while naval architecture is owed to Diana Yacht Design, which opted for high-tensile steel to ensure the model's long-range cruising capabilities.
Hull eight's interiors were first unveiled at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show as the first from the series penned by Dutch studio Vripack. Shortly after, in October, the yacht was sold to an experienced American client and underwent several personalisations at their request. The most notable of which is her metallic hull colour, which blends white, light silver and subtle blue-grey undertones, paired with a bright white superstructure.
The owners also worked with Vripack to elevate outdoor living, with additions including a custom sundeck Jacuzzi with a "playful front panel" decorated in candy-inspired curved glass. This is complemented by a custom cocktail bar with a transparent countertop embedded with lollipops and candy and a front made from soft, pastel lighting tubes that emit a warm, "playful" glow at night.
The series, which began in 2018 with the World Superyacht Award-winning Brigadoon, is characterised by its broad sundeck, arranged with a sheltered dining area, bar, optional custom whirlpool and a sofa arrangement forward of the wheelhouse. Other highlights include an extended, 20-square-metre swim platform, al fresco dining on the main deck and quarters for up to seven crew.
Accommodation is across five cabins, comprising a full-beam owner's suite on the main deck (complete with forward-facing windows), two VIP guest cabins with high ceilings and two lower-deck guest cabins. Along with a fireplace in the skylounge – complete with a Frame TV above for cosy cinema nights – Vripack also previously unveiled its homely touch to the owner's cabin by tweaking the GA and flipping the position of the bed.
Powered by twin CAT engines, the new build offers a top speed of 17 knots, a cruising speed of 15 knots and a range of 3,500 nautical miles at 10 knots.

“We are delighted to deliver Lollipop to her owners after a successful sea trial programme,” said Nicky van Zon, managing director of Moonen Yachts. “She represents everything Moonen stands for — quality, reliability and understated elegance — and we are confident she will offer her owners an exceptional experience as they begin their first cruising season in Europe.”
The Martinique model has proved itself popular, with the seventh unit – named Ad Astra – recently delivered and the ninth currently under construction.
