2007 Doral Mediterra Boat in Severna Park, MD US

Attention to detail, and exciting European-like design elements are evident all over the boat. The 40 Doral Mediterra has been designed with the specific plan to utilize the performance potential a Volvo IPS system.

Functional, Stylish and Extra Room Aboard

Starting at the stern, the swim platform is large enough to hold a small dance, at least big enough to be activity central for the kids when moored or anchored out. Doral installs stainless steel step pads for sure footing in each side of the swim platform.

Stern lockers to either side of the center walkthrough offer storage and dedicated connections to water and power from dockside. Lockers in the platform deck can be removed for more access to the engine and drive system when needed. The concealed swim ladder has a huge cover in the center of the platform.

The Cockpit

Moving up to the aft cockpit you pass through double opening doors unlike anything we have ever seen on this size and type of boat. Once you step into the cockpit, the sole is one-level all the way to the companionway.

You can seat nearly the whole clan, office or dance party in the aft cockpit, which wraps from just behind the helm seating around to the wet bar. A dual level table can be used to serve drinks and snacks or dropped down, and with a filler cushion, become a sun worshipper?s alter. The cockpit wet bar on is completed with a grill for kabobs or burgers, sink, U-line cockpit icemaker and NorCold refrigerator/freezer.

There is a lot to like about this helm. Note the throttle/gear controls are correctly mounted on the horizontal, the horn button is red, the compass is lined up with hub of the steering wheel, there are two RayMarine nav screens.

On the Bridge Deck

The navigator?s station has a large acrylic chart holder with a matching acrylic cover over the glove box just below. Seating for the navigator/companion and the helm is ultra comfortable for the long rides and roomy for adding to the conversation at anchor.

The wheel is a tilt hydraulic mahogany and stainless with leather accents. Adding to the digital information on this model is the Volvo Penta engine management display and separate analog gauges for each engine. The large panel layout keeps the information clearly in view without cluttering up the dash.

To increase comfort in the cockpit, you have the full hardtop. Even more comfort? Add the cockpit air conditioning and reverse cycle heat and you have it all. The full view windshield has a large center walk-through and fully framed stainless steel frame.

Go Joystick

For the ultimate in docking and maneuvering pleasure, you certainly want to the Volvo IPS Joystick controller. It does make docking a joy! It?s an added option worth the money in fun for everyone on the boat ? including Mom and the kids. What better way to get them excited about your favorite sport?

Easy to Access Bow

The bow is huge and surrounded by sturdy oversized safety rails. If you want to please the sun worshipper?s onboard, there are loungers with multi-position backs and comfortable removable pads for the bow.

Meticulous Cabin with Details

Moving below, the companionway door is the first great feature. It has a green acrylic sliding door. Wood steps lead into the cabin and have rubber grips to ensure good footing. The galley is mounted on the port side and features elegant wood cabinetry with anthracite granite aspect counters, stainless steel sink, coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave convection oven and two burner cooktop.

Across from the galley is the semi-circular lounger with solid wood table and teak floor inserts. If you have several guests for overnight, you can drop the table down and use this as another berth. The DVD player and a handy 12 volt socket are in the aft wall for movie and portable entertainment. The matching wood cabinets house the stereo.

If you are tall you will appreciate the 6?10? headroom ? one of the highest in class.

The Mid-Cabin

The mid-cabin has three storage drawers for clothes and can have either a cedar lined closet. Overhead clearance is enough that you will not feel claustrophobic if you decide to sleep back here instead of the kids.

You have standing room on the starboard side. The ensuite head has a full fiberglass liner, shower with shower curtain, deluxe faucet and removable drain floor, vanity with sink and Vacu-flush toilet.

The Master Stateroom

The master stateroom has a port side makeup station with cabinet and mirror. Additional matching compartments are above the comfortable island queen bed. A LCD/TV is mounted on the starboard aft wall for your personal movie entertainment.

The forward cabin head has a fiberglass vanity with Karadon solid surface top, medicine cabinet, Vacu-flush toilet, deluxe faucet and separate shower with removable drain floor.

Engine Room

The value of IPS isn?t just in maneuverability and enhanced performance; it is also in the space it opens up in what usually becomes a cramped engine room when you add the creature comforts of hot water, air conditioning and a generator large enough to make long distance cruising truly comfortable. There certainly are no excuses for not getting around the engine to do pre-launch checks and light maintenance. Even a big guy like me found it easy to get to everything.
