The hull was extended by 48” and sports a wide swim platform. A custom davit is mounted on the transom and holds the 12’ tender. Board via the walk-through in the transom. The cockpit extends the full width of the boat and sports three large lazarettes and access to systems and storage.
Stepping up the ladder, you access the large deck aft of the fully enclosed flybridge with a custom hard top. At the helm, the captain’s chair is surrounded by bench seating for guests, there is also access to the lower helm via a door and stairs.
From the cockpit, you can step through a door into the main saloon. To starboard is an L shaped settee with fold out height-adjustable table. The settee can make into a double bed. To port is that rarest of all things on a boat: space.
Forward of that is the C-shaped galley. It is open to the saloon for easy conversation. There is a built in TV and a couple of stools that pull up to the bar side of the galley counter. The fridge is freezer-down, there is a trash compactor, an oven beside that, and an overhead microwave. Opposite that is a sink-and-a-half with ample food preparation countertop space. There are overhead cupboards with plenty of storage in this highly workable galley to make any chef happy (and their guests even happier!).
Four steps up from this galley/saloon space is the pilothouse and main helm station. This bright and comfortable space features wrap-around windows, a sound system, and bench seating for guests surrounding the moveable captain’s chair. There is a sliding door to the starboard for easy access to the deck. From here, you can walk to the lounge-worthy foredeck or hop onto a dock. While docking, these make for excellent line of sight and easy communication with the crew.
Stepping down from the galley/saloon area you access the staterooms. A hallway runs midships down the centreline to the main stateroom forward. Immediately to port is a guest cabin with a double bed. Immediately to the starboard is the guest head with an electric toilet, shower, and basin.
Moving forward to port, there is a set of single bunks next to a large hanging closet.
Forward of this is the main stateroom with a centreline queen-sized bed that can be accessed from both sides. There are two generous hanging lockers, ample storage, and access to an ensuite with a bathtub (yes, a bathtub!), shower, electric, toilet, and basin. There is a door between the second guest cabin and the main stateroom so the owner might use the extraordinarily large hanging locker or the settee, essentially making the stateroom into a suite.
Throughout the boat is new carpeting with cherry paneling and trim. The overall feeling is that of spacious comfort.
