Both heads aft and forward have separate stall showers, great storage for an extended cruise, an economical and comfortable yacht, for both local and long range cruising.Serious thought was put into the use of space while ensuring abundant storage.

Entering the main saloon from the cockpit, one steps through double stainless steel doors into a bright expansive main saloon with large windows to port and starboard and large windows facing out into the cockpit.  The windows have custom treatments and complement the new carpet, new recliner and built in settee that is located on the starboard side of the saloon. The windows were set low into the hull so as  to allow great visibility while seated in the main saloon. The settee and matching barrel chair are covered with a luxurious material in warm cream tones. 

Because NEXT CHAPTER has a very open layout, there is also an abundance of natural light that comes in through the large forward windows and side windows of the pilothouse.  The high gloss birds eye maple interior is just so warm and inviting.

To port in the main saloon there is a tremendously comfortable custom bulit 12v electric recliner that would be at home in any shore side mansion. An adjacent barrel chair is well placed so as to be a part of the conversation or to lounge and watch the newly upgraded TV and Bose surround theater located forward in the saloon.  The designer of the NEXT CHAPTER took into consideration that one might wish to display small items of art and there are built-in display ledges that run the length of both sides of the main saloon as well as a set of book shelves located forward and to port.

Looking forward on the centerline, one can go up into the pilothouse via 3 stairs into the pilothouse or at the top of the 3 stairs make a port turn and proceed up the open wooden staircase to the flybridge. Located below the 3 stairs that access the pilothouse one will find an interior entrance into the engine room and pump room space.

Looking forward and to starboard while standing in the main saloon one will find a very private entrance down into the master ensuite which is located amidship, giving one a very stable quiet place of refuge.

The same light color high gloss maple wood is used to lighten the interior along with four port lights and custom programable LED lighting. For entertainment there is a 34’ flat screen TV with the Apple TV system and a DVD Blu Ray player. 

Entering  into the ensuite head, one finds a decent sized shower stall, Corian countertops, good storage mirrored medicine cabinet and a new state of the art Tecma head.
