Accommodations

Aft Deck & Boarding

Boarding is from the integrated swim platform and molded reverse-transom steps - a practical arrangement for dockside access, swimming, and managing lines. A hot-and-cold transom shower is positioned at the entry. The aft deck is protected by an integrated fiberglass hardtop and full enclosure, creating a comfortable outdoor room in changing weather. A wet bar with U-Line refrigerator/ice maker, cockpit table, boarding lights, and cockpit lighting support entertaining and everyday use.

Flybridge & Helm

The flybridge provides generous guest seating and a well-equipped helm with a leather-covered wheel, SeaStar hydraulic steering, engine synchronizer, Volvo instrumentation, trim-tab controls, windlass control, remote spotlight control, high-water alarm, Fireboy discharge indicator, and separate start/stop controls for each engine. The elevated position provides excellent sightlines for docking and cruising.

Galley

The U-shaped galley is designed for extended use, with generous counter area and cabinetry. Nova Kool 6.8-cubic-foot refrigerator/freezer, Frigidaire convection microwave, Euro/Kera Gourmet three-burner electric range, and double-bowl polished stainless-steel sink.

Forward Guest Stateroom & Head

The forward guest stateroom provides a private double berth, opening overhead hatch, ventilation, and dedicated storage. Its location at the opposite end of the yacht from the owner's suite creates meaningful privacy for family or guests. A second VacuFlush head with shower serves the forward accommodation and salon.

Aft Owner's Suite

The aft owner's suite is the defining advantage of this layout. Set apart from the forward cabin and day spaces, it offers a double berth, storage, climate control, and a private ensuite head with tub/shower - an uncommon level of comfort in this size range.
