Moonglow is large enough to cruise with four people, yet adaptable enough to explore distant coves and sites by one or two people. She features 6'6" headroom, a full galley, 2 sleeping areas, and a stand-up shower. A dinghy is supplied for shore explorations.
Moonglow was built by Devlin Designing Boat Builders of Olympia, Washington. Sea Dog LLC is the only charter operation offering Devlin designed and built wooden boats.
