The U-shaped galley is fully outfitted with Quartzite countertops, an oversized Blanco sink, four-burner gas stove/oven, microwave, and a full-size Summit refrigerator/freezer.
Aft, enjoy an L-shaped settee with hi-low table, custom stools, and wide-opening windows that flood the space with natural light. Large deck hatches provide easy engine room access. Double glass doors with screens open to a fully enclosed aft deck, complete with transom door and swim platform featuring safety rails and a drop-down swim ladder.
Accommodations include a guest stateroom with convertible bunks/office setup, a guest head with vanity and portlight, and a spacious forward owner's suite with walkaround queen berth, ensuite head, separate shower with built-in bench, overhead hatch, and generous storage.
