To port the saloon boasts a u-shaped leather settee around an adjustable dining table perfect for enjoying a meal with friends and family.

The well-appointed galley to starboard across from the saloon features updated appliances tucked away and abundant storage, ensuring that meal preparation becomes a pleasure rather than a chore. With wide counters, the galley has all the expected amenities, including under bench Isotherm fridge, a Bosch oven, Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer and even a Zip filtered water tap!

The layout of the dash is well organised to accommodate the Garmin electronics that are concealed with leather-upholstered protection, complete with protective covers for the Garmin screens ensuring the captain has all the necessary tools for safe and efficient navigation to hand. The electronics suite includes dual Garmin 12" MFD, Garmin VHF, dual Yanmar displays, Autopilot, Side-Power bow & stern thruster control, Muir windlass controller and compass. A door beside the helm station gives the skipper easy access to the side decks when required.

Whilst gentle cruisers along smooth river systems are the ideal environment to enjoy the sheer magnificence of this vessel, it is also a very capable offshore cruiser with all of the essentials for extended stays at your favourite island with two cabins offering accommodation for five.
