The Moody 56 is a renowned blue-water cruising yacht built on a fiberglass hull, equally suited to Mediterranean anchorages and extended ocean passages. Powered by a single 134-horsepower Yammer diesel engine, this 55-foot yacht combines seaworthiness with comprehensive equipment for self-sufficient cruising.
Recent improvements include renewed standing rigging and replacement mast wiring in 2023, new in-mast furling gear installed in 2022, and all seacocks replaced in 2024. The cockpit teak was replaced in 2024. A Spectra watermaker underwent full overhaul in 2025, and the sail inventory was renewed between 2023 and 2024. The boat is equipped with lithium battery systems, a generator, air-conditioning, bow thruster, electric winches, electric davits, and Raymarine electronics. Systems maintenance has been ongoing and continuous throughout the boat's ownership.
The yacht has never been chartered and has remained in EU waters, with full documentation reflecting EU VAT payment. Built in 2004, this Moody represents a well-maintained and comprehensively upgraded example of its class.
