Description
Moon Shadow is a beautifully presented 60ft cruiser stern Narrowboat, built by Collingwood and professionally fitted out by Russell Narrowboats in 2022. She offers a contemporary solid oak interior, a practical reverse layout, and an impressive specification for both leisure cruising and full-time liveaboard use.
The accommodation begins aft with a well-appointed galley, leading into a spacious saloon featuring an L-shaped dinette and freestanding armchairs, creating a welcoming and sociable living space. A walk-through bathroom fitted with a Thetford cassette toilet follows, while the master cabin is positioned forward and benefits from direct access onto the bow well deck through attractive double-glazed doors.
Propulsion is provided by a Canaline 38hp four-cylinder diesel engine, paired with a PRM 120 gearbox and a shaft drive. Cabin heating is supplied by a diesel-fired Eberspächer central heating system, complemented by a Morso Squirrel multifuel stove in the saloon. Hot water is provided via the central heating system, engine calorifier, and a 240V immersion heater.
Available to view seven days a week at Pyrford Marina. To arrange a viewing, please contact the team on 01932 343275.
