Vessel Walkthrough

Main Salon: The salon features warm wood paneling and large windows with soft blinds, creating a cozy yet bright atmosphere. It’s furnished with a reclining chair, a cushioned settee, and a lounge chair, all arranged on a modern ocean-themed rug. Forward, there’s a TV and entertainment center, plus built‑in cabinets for storage. Overhead LED lights provide efficient illumination, combining classic nautical style with modern comfort.

Galley: This galley is well‑equipped and thoughtfully arranged, with cream cabinetry accented by warm wood trim and a parquet floor. It offers a double stainless‑steel sink, a four‑burner electric stove, a black fridge, and a built‑in microwave. A small porthole window provides natural light, while generous counter space and overhead cabinets make meal prep convenient. Large dinette table with ample seating.

Master Stateroom: This stateroom exudes warmth and elegance, surrounded by rich wood paneling and gleaming parquet floors. The queen‑sized berth sits centerline, framed by mirrored panels that reflect ambient light and add a sense of depth.

Built‑in nightstands on each side offer integrated storage and are topped with classic reading lamps, perfect for evening relaxation. The surrounding cabinetry provides ample drawer space and countertop surfaces, ensuring plenty of room for personal items without clutter. The overall design balances practicality with a refined nautical aesthetic, making this cabin a welcoming retreat at the end of the day.

Master Head: This head compartment is thoughtfully designed for comfort and utility. It features an enclosed shower with a teak grate floor, sliding door, handheld shower wand, and a corner shelf for toiletries. Adjacent, the vanity offers a molded sink with a durable solid‑surface countertop, mirrored cabinetry, and built‑in holders for soap and personal items. A marine toilet completes the layout, with additional storage and towel hooks ensuring everything has its place.

VIP Stateroom: This forward cabin continues the yacht’s warm wood aesthetic with richly finished panels and parquet flooring. Along one side runs a built‑in berth platform beneath an oval porthole and an overhead hatch, allowing plenty of natural light and ventilation. Opposite, a corner desk area features a reading lamp and multiple drawers, with additional built‑in storage lining the bulkhead. This versatile space can serve as an extra sleeping berth, an office nook, or secure storage for gear and personal items.

VIP Head: This additional head carries forward the yacht’s cohesive design with cream surfaces and warm wood trim. It features a marine toilet neatly enclosed beneath a lift-up lid, a molded sink with a single-lever faucet, and an ample vanity with integrated storage. Built-in soap holders and a mirrored medicine cabinet add convenience. A portlight window with curtain supplies natural light and ventilation, while the teak grate floor provides secure footing and efficient drainage.

Aft Deck: The aft deck serves as a versatile entertaining and relaxation space, fully enclosed with clear canvas panels and roll‑up bamboo shades that offer panoramic views of the water. Under the hardtop, wicker lounge chairs and a decorative area rug create a comfortable setting for enjoying the scenery.

A built‑in wet bar along the forward bulkhead features a stainless sink, black cabinetry for storage, and nautical instrumentation, including a clock and barometer, along with a ship’s bell for a classic touch. White fiberglass steps lead up to the cockpit and side decks, while large windows let in abundant natural light. This sheltered aft deck provides a serene spot for socializing or taking in the view, rain or shine.

Flybridge: A padded helm bench accommodates the captain and a companion, while cushioned lounge seating runs along both sides of the bridge, ensuring guests can ride comfortably and enjoy the scenery. The molded deck features built‑in storage beneath the seating, keeping gear tidy and within reach. This thoughtfully designed fly bridge combines functionality and comfort, making it an inviting space for cruising and entertaining.

Helm and Electronics: The helm is outfitted with a comprehensive suite of navigation and safety electronics designed for confident cruising. Dual Garmin chartplotters—GPSmap 180 and GPSmap 541s—offer detailed navigation data and charting, while a Uniden VHF radio provides dependable ship‑to‑shore communication. Trim tab controls allow you to fine‑tune the vessel’s running attitude, and a Robertson autopilot can take over steering duties for relaxed passages. Safety is enhanced by a Fireboy engine fire suppression system and a Rule bilge water alarm, both ready to alert and act if needed. Stereo controls round out the helm’s amenities, so you can enjoy music while underway. Together, these systems create a well‑equipped, user‑friendly command center that ensures safe, efficient, and enjoyable operation.
