Walkthrough

One can board SWEET VIRGINIA from the swim platform to the aft deck or via side boarding. Once aboard the aft deck, one will find a spacious area with a built-in settee, teak table, and chairs. This area is the perfect area for entertaining, watching water sports, or for breakfast and lunch. From the aft deck, one can enter the main salon through a set of double glass doors.  

Once in the main salon, one sees the innovative asymmetrical design that offers additional volume to the main deck. There is an outboard lounging area to port and a table perfect for gaming, coffee, or breakfast. To starboard, one will find an L-shaped settee with coffee tables. The Salon offers large windows, white and airy décor, and light wooden flooring. There is a large TV on the forward bulkhead that is easy to see from anywhere in the salon.  

To port and forward, one will find a guest corridor with a day head. Continuing forward, one will find the Owner’s Stateroom. The Owner’s suite offers a king berth, and a large ensuite bath with stone sink and shower, toilet, and bidet. The owner’s area offers ample storage and a walk-in closet that is forward and down a couple of stairs.

Back in the corridor, two can go down a stairwell to the lower guest corridor, where one will find four guest staterooms, two VIP staterooms with queen berths and ensuite heads, as well as two guest staterooms with both ensuite heads. All are spacious and well-appointed with beautiful stonework. 

Back in the salon, one can go to starboard and forward to find the on-deck galley. The galley is well-equipped and set up to cook gourmet meals for guests. Galley has ample counter space, a refrigerator, cooktop, and oven. From the galley, one can go down a set of stairs to the crew area. 

Headed back aft from the galley, one will find a step up to a state-of-the-art pilothouse with all the nav and communication one could need, helm seat, seating to starboard, and lounging to port. Going aft in the PH, one can go up a set of steps to the flybridge. 

On the flybridge, one will find a fully integrated helm to starboard with raised seating and to port a larger raised seating area, a great place to sit underway or while at anchor. Further aft on the flybridge, there is a covered dining table for 8, a bar with BBQ, and a large U-Shaped settee. The hardtop offers an opening top, perfect for sun when open or shade when closed. From the aft part of the flybridge, one can go down a stairwell to join up with the aft deck again. From the aft deck, one can go down to the swim platform from either side. The swim platform is large, offering easy access to the water, tender or toys. 

The bow area is a must-see. This is a very spacious area that offers a U-Shaped settee with a table and forward bow sun pads. This is a perfect spot to sit as one enters their favorite harbor.
