Accommodations 


The Caliber 40 stands out in its size class with unparalleled accommodations. The sleeping quarters are genuinely spacious and private staterooms, unlike the typical cramped V-berth. The forward master cabin features a comfortable offset double berth with abundant storage, including drawers, shelves, a book rack, and two large cedar-lined hanging lockers, along with a shelved locker. This cabin boasts a private, sizable head with a separate shower enclosed by a plexiglass door, creating a luxurious and livable space for extended trips.

The aft stateroom mirrors this comfort and convenience, offering a double berth, a large cedar-lined hanging locker, and private access to the aft head.

The main salon is bright and elegantly appointed with teak. The generous headroom and wide beam create a spacious "living room" ideal for entertaining. Two settees provide ample seating, with one converting to a double berth, bringing the total sleeping capacity to seven. Both settees offer storage underneath and behind, complemented by teak cabinets above. A twin-leaf dining table folds neatly against the bulkhead to maximize space. The aft head's dual entrances from the aft cabin and the salon provide easy access without disturbing other occupants.

Both heads are fully equipped with pressurized hot and cold water and showers. The navigation station is located port, aft of the galley, and includes a chart table with a hinged lid and storage, a chart light, an electronics cabinet, a breaker panel, and a navigation seat with storage. The interior features a teak and holly floor throughout and multiple handrails.
