MOONDANCER, a beautifully maintained 2003 Aquador 25C, ideal for those seeking a versatile, compact cruiser with excellent handling and comfort. Designed by Espen Thorup, this vessel is perfectly suited for coastal cruising, weekend getaways, and exploring inland waterways like the Norfolk Broads, where she is currently located. With her stylish blue gelcoat topsides, freshly waxed and lacquered in 2024, and recent antifouling, Moondancer is not only visually stunning but ready for immediate adventures. Priced competitively at £52,500, she offers an attractive opportunity for discerning buyers.
Moondancer provides a comfortable layout with teak-laid deck panels on the forward, side, and aft decks, as well as the bathing platform, adding a touch of class. Her GRP hull is paired with a Volvo Penta KAD32 marine diesel engine, delivering 170hp. The engine has been well cared for, with a full service in 2022 and further work on the drive leg in 2024, ensuring she is in prime mechanical condition. With a 220-litre fuel capacity, this boat is perfectly equipped for extended cruising.
Inside, the accommodation is thoughtfully designed for up to four, featuring a forward cabin for two adults and additional sleeping space for children in the saloon. The bright, functional interior includes a heads compartment with a Jabsco marine toilet, sink, and shower. The wheelhouse offers comfortable swivel seating, perfect for relaxing while underway or at anchor. Modern electrical systems include 12V and 220V on-board voltage, and the Victron Blue Power charger ensures reliable energy management, complemented by shore power connectivity.
