Nautilus Yacht Management is proud to present to market this remarkable example of the celebrated Moody 47. Ideally suited to serious offshore cruising and live-aboard, this Bill Dixon design provides the ideal combination of seaworthiness, strength, and is yet able to move effortlessly in light airs.



Having represented the international cruising community for the past 14 years, we have come times and times again across the fabulous Moody Yachts (Moody & Sons. UK, not to be confused with the Moody (Hanse) Germany). Almost every Moody & Sons we have come across at our home base in the South Pacific had circumnavigated, some of them several times, and safely and comfortably transported entire families across thousands of miles, several decades, and if well maintained were perfectly fit to continue doing just this indefinitely.  



Margot is a truly wonderful example of this celebrated design, with all her systems updated to suit the demands of a modern cruising lifestyle and an impressive inventory.



Margot presents in fantastic condition and is ready to go, as a turn key opportunity for the next ocean adventurer.

A Word From The Owners: 



"We are a couple who bought our 1985 center cockpit Moody 47 in April 2023. She has been our home and a place of safety while we've explored the beautiful islands of French Polynesia. We love the center cockpit design to keep us safe while on passage, stout build, and gorgeous teak interior. The boat is well designed for single-handed sailing, with in-mast furling and hydraulic winches making it extremely easy to set sail. Reefing the sails can be done with the push of a button from the safety of the cockpit. She has two cabins and two heads. The forward cabin has three single beds and the aft has a queen bed. Margot has sailed through the Caribbean and Panama Canal, through Mexico and across the Pacific. She is a spacious and solid blue water cruiser that took very good care of us.



Because she took care of us, we also took care of her. As engineers, we have carefully maintained and upgraded many of her systems. Several upgrades have been done in the past 3 years, including a complete re-rig, new rudder, copper coat antifouling, new lithium batteries, new mattresses, new anchor chain, new plumbing, recertified life raft, Starlink installation, new watermaker membranes, and much more. All work and maintenance are fully documented and over 100k has been invested in her in the past 3 years. Her engine hours are low, she has a large amount of solar and wind power, new lithium battery bank, high-capacity water-maker, heaps of documented spare parts, and a reliable dinghy and outboard. We have prepared her well, and she is ready to set sail and travel thousands of miles to the most remote places in the Pacific, be it New Zealand or Japan.
