First UK Moody DS48 handover

First Moody DS48 handover in the UK

One of the most talked about new model launches of 2024 is the new Moody DS48, which is also nominated to pick up the coveted European Yacht of the Year award when it is announced in early 2025. 

We were lucky enough in the UK to have one of the first models built and to say it has been impressing far and wide would be an understatement, including the extended cross channel test carried out by Yachting Monthly earlier this year.

In November we spent 4 days carrying out an extended familiarisation process with the new owner of the first UK based DS48 covering everything from the systems onboard as well as redundancy and troubleshooting to help ensure maximum enjoyment.

Now all work is complete, we wish them many happy adventures for the future.
