Accommodations

The golden teak wood used throughout the interior gives you a warmth and richness that you'll always enjoy on the water. The three staterooms will hold your guests and family in comfort with air conditioning or heat from the three CRUISE AIR units. Natural light and fresh air can cross ventilate from the five opening deck hatches and six opening port lights. Both heads have good sized shower stalls and Vacuflush toilets.

Salon

This salon has a steering station for those who prefer to get out of the elements or stay warmer below. Full navigation displays, engine gauges, VHF radio, windshield wiper controls, autopilot, thruster controls,can be found on the starboard side. The main electrical panel is located aft of this steering station.

The rest of the salon features an L-shaped sofa and table along with two barrel chairs. A compete audio/visual component rack is housed in  a cabinet on the port side and the 43" Panasonic TV pops-up in the starboard side cabinetry. Plenty of natural light from the tinted glass windows.

Under the forward part of the salon is a compartment we call the pump room. It contains the clothes washer & dryer, 30 gal hot water heater, fresh water pumps, and nav electronics boxes. Access to this compartment comes via the hinged stair case lifting-up. An air assisted ram lifts the staircase.

Galley and Dinette

This galley down arrangement is equipped with a Sub Zero refrigerator and two freezer drawers. The GE electric cook top,Microwave oven, and Fisher Paykel dishwasher complement the other appliances. A twin stainless steel sink with GROHE faucet in under-set in the Midnight granite counter top. Storage is no problem with and abundance of cabinets and drawers.

Cockpit

This teakwood deck cockpit is the center point for all activities during the good weather. With a bench seat along the aft section and a couple folding chairs, you have all the comforts available. Stereo speakers in the overhead and a gate to the swimstep and dingy elevator. It's where it all happens.   Two large and one small deck hatch gets you into the engine room with good access. One of the four engine control stations is next to the salon door. From here you can back into the slip like a pro.
