ROCK MOON is a Posillipo motor yacht of twenty two metres, a classic Italian flybridge yacht given a thorough refit in 2024 that has kept her feeling fresh from the salon to the cabins. She is a yacht for a family or a small group who want warm timber, real pace and the easy informality of a smaller yacht without a large crew. She carries eight guests across four cabins with a crew of three, a balance that keeps the days relaxed while still leaving everything run for the guests.
She is quick for her size, and that shapes the week. With a top end around thirty one knots she can cover ground when the plan calls for it, reaching a further bay for lunch or beating the weather back to a sheltered harbour, then settle to an easy cruise when there is nowhere in particular to be. For a group that likes to see a stretch of coast rather than sit in one spot, that pace turns a week into a proper run along the shore.
Her outdoor spaces are well judged. The flybridge up top carries seating, sunbathing and a helm under a shade, the natural place to gather on the move and for drinks as the day winds down, with an open view over the water on every side. Forward, a run of sun pads on the foredeck gives a quieter corner to lie out, and aft the main deck opens to a shaded dining setting close to the water, laid for long lunches and relaxed evenings alike.
Inside, she offers more interior space than her length suggests, and it is divided into genuinely separate rooms rather than one open area. The main salon is a warm, inviting lounge in honey timber with a sofa, a table and wide windows onto the sea. Forward of it sits a bright dinette in cream leather, a second interior space beside the lower helm, and a well fitted galley keeps the crew turning out proper meals through the day. The finish from the refit is calm and current, warm wood and soft neutral fabrics, a yacht that feels lived in rather than showy.
Accommodation sleeps eight across four cabins, built around a master with its own bathroom and good natural light. A VIP double, a twin and a further cabin complete the layout, each finished in the same warm honey timber, which makes her a practical choice for a family with children as readily as for two couples travelling together. The cabins are calm and well proportioned, each with its own bathroom, so the choice of room comes down to taste rather than rank.
A yacht of this size is at her best on a varied week of short hops, dropping the hook for a swim at lunch, moving a short way to a quiet cove for the night and tying up somewhere lively when the mood calls for it. The crew of three keep the days flowing without crowding the guests, and the open stern puts the tender and the water toys a step away whenever anyone fancies a swim.
She suits Italy and the western Mediterranean, cruising the harbours and coves of the Ligurian coast and beyond at a pace that suits the day. For a family or a small group who want Italian flair, real speed and three separate interior rooms in a genuinely manageable size, ROCK MOON is a warm, quick and welcoming choice.
