The multi-day tests in the North Sea took place in May 2026 under challenging conditions and served to validate all systems. The programme included endurance tests in which the Moonen Yachts team tested manoeuvrability, stability, noise and vibration levels across all operating parameters.
The 37-metre yacht showed performance values that exceeded expectations. Moonen has designed the Martinique-122 series for long-distance cruising and comfortable family life on board. "Lollipop" will be delivered in the coming weeks. Martinique number four.
Final work at Moonen Yachts
"This is always one of the most rewarding phases of a build project," says Ian Vermoen, Project Manager at Moonen Yachts. "To see the yacht perform so confidently during her endurance tests is a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of everyone involved. She has mastered the North Sea beautifully and is now fully prepared to begin her voyages."
Following the test runs, the final outfitting work and preparations are now underway before the shipyard in Den Bosch hands over "Lollipop" to her owners. Delivery is planned for the coming weeks, before the start of the summer season. The owners will spend the first season with their "Lollipop" in European waters.
