Even below deck there is a generous amount of natural light and air through (fixed and opening) windows, portlights and deck hatches. The use of Bamboo hardwood soles, white laminate, Cherry and Maple finishes keep the interior spaces feeling open and airy.

All the way forward (just aft of the collision bulkhead) is the large guest head and shower. Aft of that, the forward guest cabin offers two generously sized single berths with privacy curtains and plenty of storage space for: guest gear, extra bedding, books and personal affects).   A portable stainless steel ladder provides emergency escape from the forward stateroom via the overhead hatch.

Aft of the guest cabin, through an easily handled watertight door is the spacious galley and dinning area. Well laid-out with modern equipment, attractive Corian counters and plenty of functional storage, this galley will please the most discriminating cruising chef.

A passageway leading aft from the galley, on the port side, has equipment storage areas, washer/dryer and electrical management panels outboard, and a door to the engine room on the inboard side. The passageway continues to the spacious and bright owner's stateroom with ensuite head and shower. Finely crafted Maple cabinetry offers a fresh, clean and bright atmosphere. Centerline queen bed with electric bed-lifter gives easy access to voluminous extra storage. 22” TV on forward bulkhead is ideal entertainment, as well as to monitor your ship’s navigation displays. Additional computer/nav-station on the port side completes this cabin as an inviting area for work, navigation, rest or relaxation.

Steps up from the Galley/Dinning area lead up to the Pilothouse situated on the main deck. This is a serious “go to sea” pilothouse with function and comfort for crew and guests in mind. The helm is to starboard with a door to the side deck, a commercial quality Hansen folding chair from Denmark, and a navigation electronics suite that leaves the skipper wanting only the next interesting destination. A raised U-shaped seating area is to port and offers an additional dinning/conversation area that’s ideal when underway.

A sliding weatherproof door leads aft to the raised cockpit with yet another comfortable seating area and table. The table slides all the way up for stowage and makes this area perfect for taking in the scenery and good weather, and is fully enclosed with canvas and clear curtains when the weather is less than ideal.
