The fourth, final and largest MOONBEAM designed and built by William Fife Junior for Charles Plumptre Johnson.

MOONBEAM, one of the finest Gaff Cutters of the 20th century, the Winner of the King’s Cup, in 1920 and 1923, is back.

First launched in 1914 and commissioned after the Great War, in 1920,she is perhaps best described by Uffa Fox : “No matter whether she is under way or at anchor, MOONBEAM is beautiful to look upon, and combining the speed of a racer with the comfort of a cruiser, is a vessel any sea-man would be proud to own.”

Charter Moonbeam during the upcoming America's Cup in Valencia.



Experience the thrill of racing one of the world’s great gaff cutter as did the winners of the prestigious King’s Cup in the 1920s.

Join our team on this Rolls Royce of yachts and be part of history once again over 80 years later in the forthcoming regattas.

Follow in the footsteps of newlyweds Prince Rainer of Monaco and Grace Kelly on their honeymoon in the 1950s.
Sail the boat whose bewitching beauty is enough to stop a sailor dead in their tracks; experience for yourself the splendor of her massive rig under full sail.

And her beauty is not only skin deep; her stylish interior has the look and feel of a gentlemen’s club. The waxed rosewood paneling, the Persian rugs, the antique lamps and leather-bound books, all combine to provide an old world ambience of Edwardian comfort, in stark and satisfying contrast to the elements outside.

With a celebrated birthplace, a spectacular racing record and a patrician history, Moonbeam is one of the few remaining survivors from the golden age of yachting.
To sail her is rare opportunity not to be missed for sailors and non sailors alike.
