General Layout

The yacht features a large cockpit with a transom door to a swim platform, an enclosed pilot house with comfortable seating and an entertainment center, plus the sought-after starboard pilothouse helm door! Lower deck with two cabins, two head layout, galley, and lower salon. The Master is forward with an island queen berth and ensuite head with a separate stall shower. There is a guest cabin to port with athwartships twin berths, a hanging locker, and storage drawers. The guest head is opposite the guest cabin and features a stand-up shower, sink with vanity, and Vacu-Flush head system. The galley has solid-surface countertops with moldings, a twin under-counter Vitrifrigo refrigerator with an additional top-loading freezer. Princess 3-burner electric stove with oven and broiler, and Sharp Convection Microwave. Lots of counter surface and storage space, including bottle storage, and a very functional galley in a seaway. Three steps up from the lower deck is the pilot house area. To Starboard is the helm station with STIDD pedestal captain's seat, adjacent to Port is a second STIDD companion seat with a chart table. The salon area offers a large L-shaped settee with an electronically actuated High/Low Teak table, decorative chair, and entertainment center creating a fabulous indoor entertaining space. The salon and lower decks have a beautiful teak and holly sole, and the yacht is air-conditioned and heated to maintain comfort in varying climates. Year-round boating at its finest!

The large cockpit supports outdoor enjoyment for the whole crew with aft-facing double bench seats port and starboard. Access to the side and foredecks is easy, allowing crew to safely move about the entire boat, and waist-high safety rails and well-placed exterior stainless handrails give the crew an extra measure of safety going forward and aft. The transom door opens to the large Teak swim platform, where a Stainless Steel swim ladder aids in boarding from the water.
