Beautiful British racing green tiles and plum cupboards with lovely little leatherette handles that gives the kitchen a lovely modern yet quirky feel. This boat really is all about the little details . Ample worktop space and storage and room to sit and enjoy of an evening.

Engine was brand new in 2011 then residentially moored permanently so it has been well maintained but has not seen many miles incredibly
It has been cruising the cut for a year now since coming off it's mooring and has ran perfectly! The boat as a whole has been adapted perfectly for complete off grid living
This vessel is a rare find, the hull is in phenomenal condition. It's quality construction makes it a stand out and in it's own class with steel standards changing so vastly since.
Myth busting -Blue moon II is 60ft long perfect for navigating the cut, it's common chat amongst new boaters that 58ft is the maximum length to navigate the canal system. It only becomes tight if you vere off to enjoy the Leeds strand but even this can still be enjoyed taken diagonally in a lock at 60ft through that arm of the canal system
Blue moon II has been loved and adored by three owners now and is ready to be enjoyed and cruise onto new fabulous adventures with its new owners
Viewings will be carried out on Sundays where the boat is well situated in Milton Keynes
To arrange please get in contact between the hours of 9am -6pm Mon-Sun
Happy looking
