Luxury Canal Boat Holidays - Moonshadow

 

Introducing Moonshadow

text

Moonshadow has arrived and is about to begin the process of being fitted out. At the moment, as you can see from the photos, she is just an empty shell with only an engine. This sailaway will soon be transformed into our most luxurious boat yet.

The layout of Moonshadow will be very similar to Moondance, which includes two bathrooms (one boasting a fabulous Jacuzzi Whirlpool bath), a popular feature well received by our guests.

Booking Moonshadow

You can follow the progress of the fitout of Moonshadow by visiting this page from time to time as we will be uploading pictures of the work progress. We thought it might be interesting for those of you that have booked or for anyone interested in how our boats are built.
