LAYOUT OVERVIEW
The oversized aft cockpit on El Legado provides a versatile space ideal for all kinds of water activities - from fishing and diving to canoeing and snorkeling. A BBQ, complete with countertop and sink, is built into the cockpit, allowing you to prepare and enjoy meals outdoors under the sun or stars.
The aft deck features spacious built-in seating with ample storage underneath, centered around a beautiful custom high-gloss teak table with decorative inlays and two fold-down leaves, accompanied by four teak chairs. To port, stainless steel stairs with teak treads lead to the flybridge, while wing doors on both sides protect the cockpit from wind and rough weather.
Entry to the salon is through a custom electrically operated Freeman door, upgraded in August 2013 with enhanced safety features. The main salon is bright and open, thanks to extensive windows that run the full length of the space, including panoramic forward windows in the country-style galley. The salon offers comfortable seating and a variety of entertainment options.
The galley is surrounded by windows on three sides, creating a light-filled U-shaped space equipped with all necessary appliances, generous storage, and amenities to prepare full meals. A long counter/bar with refrigeration below extends to starboard.
Forward of the galley is the lower helm station, with a large dinette and teak table to port, featuring storage below the settees. To starboard, a side deck access door provides ventilation and easy movement to the side decks and bow. The helm is fully equipped with updated electronics for safe and reliable navigation.
Below the main deck, accessed via teak and holly steps, are the accommodations. The full-beam master stateroom is amidships, boasting a king-size centerline berth, ample amenities, and an en-suite head. The VIP stateroom offers a queen-size island berth with an en-suite head. The third stateroom is custom-designed to convert easily between a double berth and an office. The crew cabin/extra berth is forward of the engine room with direct access from the port side deck.
The expansive flybridge is accessible from both interior and exterior stairs. It features sofas to port and starboard with teak-topped tables just aft of the helm station, two captain's chairs, and plentiful storage with Davit Crane.
