And WATCH HERE for an extended virtual reality tour - including her cockpit and upper deck!: https://youtu.be/09IwtkaFlxc
It's not often that you get a chance to look at such a lovely boat that has been so well looked after - this boat has returned to the water recently following lots of lovely underwater work and she's shiny, shiny, shiny!
Her owner has simply looked after her very well and we think that he's done all the right things.
Her interior is really well laid out and has that
feel-good factor in spades - great head height and plenty of room, too.
She's crossed the Atlantic twice and her owner has really taken her places, so has proven her capability.
If you'd like to sample the legendary Moody marque and you'd like a solid feeling, luxury yacht to take you and your family on coastal or long distance cruises, then we recommend a look at her - fast!
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
