EXTERIOR

Above deck, the aft section is fitted with the helm station with room along the stern to access the ladder down to the water. The cockpit placed amidships leads up from the interior salon and offers guests a comfortable place to rest in the sunshine and enjoy the views while lounging or dining on the port and starboard C-shaped sofas with a raised table between them. Between the cockpit and the helm station there are two sunpads – one to port and one starboard – for unwinding in the sunshine.

The foredeck is fitted with numerous windows to illuminate the interior while also ensuring that there is plenty of space for additional sunbathing, observation and outdoor exercise.

INTERIOR

Below deck, the four guest cabins and galley are placed aft of the amidships salon and forward crew quarters fitted with a second, dedicated navigation centre and office as well as a workshop leading through to a sizeable sail and rope locker.
In light wind conditions, a single Volvo Penta D-4 engine with a 2,500-litre fuel tank and a bow thruster provides cruising power.
