The interior is spacious, with plenty of room for cruising with your family and friends. The woodwork of beautiful teak throughout the boat adds to the ambiance. The grain of the wood is matched throughout the boat. She has a teak and holly cabin sole. There is built-in storage everywhere! And there is plenty of light and ventilation with lots of opening hatches and ports.

A large stateroom is forward with a spacious V-berth, private access to the head and a large hanging locker and plenty of storage to make a longer cruise comfortable.

Next aft is the elegant salon with settees to port and starboard. Both settees also extend to form additional berths for guests. There is a large centerline drop-leaf table for entertaining. Individual storage cabinets are behind the port and starboard settees, with shelves for additional storage. There are overhead hatches with built-in screens with teak frames. At the front port corner of the salon, is a built-in large hanging locker.

The sit down, outward facing nav station has a huge working surface for all of your charts and reference materials. She has a swing out navigator's stool that locks in position. 

Across from the nav station is the galley. She has deep oversize double S.S. sinks on the centerline with hot and cold pressure water system and a dockside water system. There is a S.S. Shipmate 2 burner gas stove, gimbaled with oven, propane safety shut off, great counter space, plenty of storage for all of your galley equipment with dish lockers and utensils drawers. She has a huge top loading icebox.

The walk-through to the aft cabin is to starboard aft of the galley. The walkway has access to the engine space and a two very large hanging lockers outboard.

The master stateroom is an aft cabin designed with two large singles (or small doubles), one on each side of the cabin arranged in a large V configuration.
