Layout
The interior of “Aquatica” features gloss-finished anigre (light mahogany) paneling with burl accents throughout. Fabric themes are black and neutral tan for the main deck upholstery & accent pillows. The galley and heads have black granite with gold fleck countertops.

The master bed is a queen centerline with drawers. Dual, cedar-lined hanging lockers and drawers are to starboard. Through a foyer/landing (stacked washer/dryer to stbd)

Remarks
The Altima 55 offers incredible volume and feels quite large for her size. She is easy to handle and maneuver with a couple (note bow and stern thrusters) and rigged for extended cruising. Note especially the large walkaround decks, easy access to the air-conditioned hardtop flybridge, dual access to the flybridge (aft deck and pilothouse), spacious mid-master stateroom and the open galley arrangement.
Altima 55's are noted for their fine sea-keeping design, excellent layout and heavy construction!
"Aquatica" is a one-owner yacht with many customized features. She is easy to inspect anytime in Fort Lauderdale, Florida - aggressively priced and ready to cruise!
