Overview

Moonstone of Marlow is a 12 Ton Hillyard designed and built by Hillyard in Littlehampton, 1968. A very popular centre cockpit layout, giving excellent accommodation both forward, and in the spacious rear cabin. She is one of the last timber boats built by Hillyard.

Moonstone of Marlow has been lovingly owned by her current owner since 2009. Before his ownership she was treated to a substantial re-fit, and since then she has been maintained religiously.

Buying through a broker: when EUROYACHTS (LARGS) LIMITED sells a used boat as broker for its owner, the contract of sale is between you and the owner, and buying from a private owner gives you fewer statutory rights than buying from a business.
