The aft is furnished with a curving sofa and elevated dining table, while the foredeck has a broad sunpad where guests can rest and enjoy uninterrupted views. The flybridge hosts a Williams Turbojet 385 tender along the aft with a Davit crane for easy launch and retrieval. The amidships section has another seating area with a table for drinks or casual alfresco dining, and the forward area is fitted with the outdoor helm station with an additional seat for a co-pilot.

INTERIOR

The interiors styled by Guido de Groot use Pennsylvania walnut and Zebrano wood with a neutral colour scheme. Blending contemporary and classic elements, free-standing side tables, neo-classical lamps and framed artwork adds a homely appeal.

The lower deck hosts the guest and crew accommodation, while on the main deck the formal dining area is placed to starboard behind the helm station. The aft lounge is placed to port and is furnished with a C-shaped sofa around a coffee table with a cabinet opposite. Spotlights on the ceiling provide an abundance of light after sundown, and wall sconces and table lamps enhance the ambiance.
