Accommodations
SEA & SEE features a classic two-stateroom, two-head layout with a full-width aft deck, designed for comfort and extended cruising. The interior is notably finished with extensive, high-quality teak paneling and joinery.
Her design prioritizes living space and privacy, offering two distinct accommodation areas:
- Aft Master Stateroom: This full-beam stateroom is the primary accommodation, featuring a centerline queen berth. It includes abundant storage with built-in drawers and cedar-lined hanging lockers. An ensuite head provides a private vanity and toilet to port, and a separate private shower to starboard, similar to a Grand Banks 42. The lighted vanity provides a dedicated, well-lit area for personal grooming and organization. Easily add a Washer/Dryer using connections available in the cabinet adjacent to the head.
- Forward Guest Stateroom: Located in the bow, this private stateroom features a centerline queen berth. It has its own storage and en-suite head with private vanity and toilet to port, and private shower room to starboard.
- Salon: The spacious salon features an AC powered sofa to starboard that sits three and sleeps two. Each seat is a power recliner with separate head and leg adjustments. A chair is to port and has a storage ottoman that fits underneath the chair. Storage cabinets and a flatscreen TV on the aft bulkhead that swings out for viewing complete the salon. A lower helm station is to starboard, offering excellent visibility and deck access doors to port and aft for easy access to the wide side deck and Sundeck.
- Galley and Dinette: The "galley-down" layout is located just forward and down a few steps from the salon. It is equipped for cruising with appliances such as a 3-burner stove, oven, refrigerator/freezer, and microwave, along with plenty of counter space and storage. A large U-shaped dinette and table is opposite the galley and converts to sleep two. The sole is teak and holly.
- Aft Deck/Sundeck: A key feature, the sundeck is a full-width space over the aft cabin, offering a large area for entertaining, relaxing, or sunbathing. It provides high rails and easy access to the flybridge via stairs.
- Flybridge: The extended flybridge serves as the primary exterior helm station and a significant social gathering space with ample seating with comfy cushions and storage.
Galley
The “galley-down” layout is located to starboard on the lower deck, offering separation from the main salon and featuring a full set of appliances suitable for extended cruising.
This arrangement ensures a spacious main salon above, while the galley itself is a dedicated and well-equipped workspace.
Features
- Location: Situated on the lower level, separate from the main salon. A dinette is located across from the galley.
- Appliances: The galley is well-equipped for liveaboard or long-distance cruising, often including:
- A three-burner electric stove with an oven.
- A good-sized Norcold upright refrigerator with freezer, AC/DC operation.
- A microwave oven.

- Hot and cold pressure water.
- Storage and Space: The design provides plenty of counter space for meal preparation and ample storage both above and below the counters for provisions and utensils.
