Accommodations

Originally equipped with "crew quarters" forward consisting of bunkroom, head with shower and galley with convertible dinette in the forepeak, that space has now been tastefully incorporated into the main vessel, opening up the main salon, dinette and galley. The main salon is in the center of the vessel and includes a custom L-shaped settee, cushions and decor. When exiting the salon aft, you can either go up to the helm and aft deck or down to the sleeping quarters.

As you move down to the sleeping area you will find the VIP guest stateroom to port and the guest head to starboard. If you truly have a crowd aboard you will find a settee across from the VIP guest which converts to a pullman berth. All the way aft is the captain's quarters with ensuite head and shower. Abundant storage is found throughout the sleeping accommodations.

The helm and aft deck combined create 268 square feet of lounging area. A hard top extends all the way to the aft (this is a rare factory option) and can either be enclosed with Isinglass windows or opened up to allow the breeze to flow through. Once cruising is done for the day, the custom bar hidden in the back of the helm station can be opened up and you will find sink, icemaker, glasses. With drinks served you can lounge in the custom mahogany furniture.
