Vessel Walk-Through

The interior of this 35' Luhrs Alura is highlighted by two separate sleeping areas. The forward sleeping area doubles as a convertible dinette/settee. During the day the cabin feels very open and spacious due to this configuration. The dinette is readily converted to a generous double bed. The mid-cabin master stateroom also boasts a generous double bed.

The galley is located on the starboard side and is fully equipped for preparing gourmet meals. The private enclosed bathroom is opposite to port followed by entry to the mid cabin stateroom. The cabin boasts an impressive 6' 3" headroom, teak & holly cabin sole with loose laid carpeting for protection, and Corian counters.

The cockpit helm area is three steps up from the cabin area. The captain's helm is on the starboard side and is properly equipped with navigational instruments.

The cockpit is a fisherman's delight. The cockpit is large and deep-well and comes with built-in fish boxes and a tackle center. The engine compartment is accessed through two large opening hatches via the split level design of the cockpit/helm area.
