When you enter the cabin area, to your right is a head compartment with a sink/shower, toilet, and porthole. The faucet in the sink pulls out and can be used as a shower with a drain below- a great use of space! Continuing on in the cabin's area you will see a well-equipped kitchen with a sink, microwave, stove top, toaster, coffee pot, and refrigerator. Opposite the kitchen is a dinette for you to enjoy family meals - and can be made into a sleeping area when needed. Forward in the cabin is the V-berth with a cushion for sleeping or lounging with a table. The double berth in the aft cabin has a privacy drape. Plenty of storage compartments in the cabin's area- cabinets in the bathroom and kitchen, and storage compartments below the seats. The skylight and windows draw in natural light and make the space feel large.
When you're ready to swim, the extended swim platform makes for a quick entry into the water and the swim ladder access located at the stern of the boat makes getting back in the boat easy! The bow can accommodate a princess pad or other options that turn this area of the boat into a perfect spot for soaking in the sun!
Get a break from the sun on a hot day with the full enclosure / blue extended bimini top. The enclosure/isinglass has sections that roll up in the front and in the back.
