From the lower deck swim platform guests have access to the main deck aft, where there is a corner sofa to port and starboard, plus a coffee table and two armchairs on both sides. Side walkways lead around to the foredeck, where there is a loveseat for guests to unwind in privacy.

The upper deck is designed for outdoor living with plenty of plush seating curving around the sides and three corner tables for casual meals and drinks alfresco. The upper deck aft is used for storing the tender, which is launched and retrieved safely using a Davit crane.

On the sundeck there is even more seating along the stern for the group to relax outdoors in the elements, and a Jacuzzi provides a place to unwind together at the end of a busy day.
