The Mahogany wood and craftsmanship is excellent throughout this beautiful vessel. Further, the natural light and ventilation are outstanding. The forward cabin has a large V-berth that will sleep two comfortably, two hanging lockers and several small storage bins and lockers above and below the berth. Coming aft, the main cabin is lined by cabinets and shelves, a dining table that can seat 6, and sleeping accommodations for two. Next on the starboard side is the U-shaped galley. To the port side is a large head with a full stand-up shower with curtain. The aft cabin access is from the cockpit through a forward-facing hatch and down three steps. Between the aft-cabin berths is an extending chart table and storage unit that pulls out from the aft bulkhead that can be used as a chart table or as an office desk for the liveaboard. Outboard and forward are storage cabinets and storage shelves. There are port and starboard aft hanging lockers and storage cabinets under the berths. Most important, the cabin offers a private space, a rare and valuable bonus on a boat of this size. Tuck the table away, and the cabin can serve as a separate lounge or as sleeping quarters for visitors.
L-shaped galley located to starboard at the base of the companionway steps. The galley will please even the most discriminating chef. There is excellent storage and food preparation areas for preparing gourmet meals at the dock or under way

The Vilm 117 offers exceptional comfort and performance. Built in Lauterbach on the Baltic island of Rügen, the Vilm 117 is beautifully crafted and has a level of excellence usually found only on custom boats. The builder has promoted the boat as a 90/90 motorsailer meaning that the boat offers 90 percent of the performance of both a motorsailer and sailboat. Her designer, Georg Nissen, believes in keeping the virtues of a full blown racing design separate from that which is meant to safely "around the capes". In their performance tests, Cruising World had high praise for many of the features and details of the boat, including her excellent stability in a seaway, the quietness of her engine, performance under sail and the well thought out layout that beckons "blue water".
" The Vilm 117 is a superb mid-sized blue water cruiser. She is fast, comfortable, and extremely seaworthy and is built to withstand the rough conditions of the North Sea. The Vilm 116 is approved for category A (open ocean) and is suitable for circumnavigation but offers shallow draft for coastwise exploration. All materials, fittings, and equipment meet or exceed CE as well as German Lloyd's specifications, the most stringent boat building standards in the world."
