New Moorings to Add 54.5 Flagship

As part of a $21m capital investment in fleet additions through next year, The Moorings recently announced plans to add a new flagship, the five-cabin Moorings 54.5, to its extensive range of luxury charter yachts. Available in 2010, the all-new 54.5 will be the fleet's largest monohull, representing an ongoing trend at The Moorings towards larger, roomier yachts. Lex Raas, President & CEO of The Moorings commented, "Our market research indicates that today's charter enthusiast is seeking larger yachts with more creature comforts. The 54.5 has four double staterooms plus a crew's quarters. Packed with features aimed at making sailing easier and more fun, the 54.5 boasts a generator, air-conditioning, electric winches, bow thruster, electric toilets, and an inverter.
