Accommodations and Layout
Beginning forward is the open front deck with port and starboard boarding gates, carpeted deck and access to Focsle storage.
Moving aft and through a sliding glass door is the salon with a lower helm station to starboard, a dining table just aft and a sofa to port. Further aft is the full galley with residential appliances and bar/counter top with two bar stools. Directly to starboard are the stairs to the fly bridge with the upright refrigerator freezer underneath.
Moving down the companionway towards the sleeping accommodations to port is the first guest cabin with a queen berth and drawer and hanging storage. Next aft and to starboard is the guest head with a separate stall shower. Next aft, to port and down three steps are two guest staterooms, both with queen berths.
From the companionway aft is the master suite with a queen berth to port, plenty of drawer and hanging storage and a private head with a tub and shower. Through a sliding door aft is the large covered aft deck with port and starboard board gates, carpeted deck, step down to the swim platform and curved stairs to the massive fly bridge.
The tasteful décor is new and classy in light grays, black and white colors. Gray carpet through out with a slate gray walk from the front door to the back door of the boat. The 3” white bead board paneling and head liner and plenty of large opening windows create a very open and airy feel. Beige sofa, black Corian galley counter tops and white roll down shades complete the décor.
