Vessel Walkthrough and Details

BLUE MOON can be boarded from either side through her port or starboard gates or through her aft gate leading to her swim platform. A custom solar arch provides support for the bimini shade in the cockpit, where you will find wraparound seating with teak at the helm. Electronics and a large folding table are both found on binnacle at the helm. The cockpit deck is finished in teak and a bimini covers the companionway. On deck the fiberglass is in above average condition as BLUE MOON was a freshwater boat for 17 years.

Coming down the companionway will lead to the main salon with seating and navigation station to starboard. Well-equipped, walkthrough galley to port where all of her wood finishes shine. Starboard side and aft of the companionway, a door leads to walk-in storage.

An oversized quarter berth is located aft and to port. Entering this stateroom and to centerline, there is a large wooden sliding door opening over the engine space, and lighting for easy engine access. Extra storage is found under the quarter berth.
