EXTERIOR

Guests arriving by tender will embark on the lower deck swim platform, which has plenty of room for sunbathing or spreading out with water toys. Two staircases lead up to the main deck aft, where there is a large plush sofa lining the stern and a raised table for alfresco dining and outdoor living. Walkways connect around the sides to the foredeck, where a broad sun pad covers the stern.

The flybridge is accessed via a stairway on the main deck aft and the layout places the tender on the stern, to be launched and retrieved using a Davit crane. Amidships, there is a wet bar with the helm station forward and a C-shaped seating area and elevated table opposite for alfresco dining in the shade.

INTERIOR

The lower deck hosts the guests and crew accommodation, the former comprised of a Master suite, a VIP stateroom, a double cabin (Pullman berth optional) and a twin cabin (Pullman berth optional). The engine room separates the guest accommodation from the crew accommodation, which consists of a bunk cabin and Captain’s cabin in the stern.

On the main deck, the helm station takes up the forward section of the layout, with the galley behind the helm station and offering an island breakfast bar with two stools. On a raised platform forward the L-shaped seating curves around the dining area, where guests receive excellent forward views.

Other optional layouts for the forward section of the main deck place a formal dining table opposite the galley, or instead change the whole main deck layout to place the galley aft followed by a curving table and matching starboard side sofa amidships, then a final forward-facing starboard side sofa with two drinks tables and an additional sofa on the opposite wall.

The aft salon makes a welcoming space enhanced by unique artwork and designed with a large aft-facing L-shaped sofa and armchairs around a coffee table, and a widescreen TV is placed opposite for entertainment.

Power will come from a pair of MAN 1,550 HP engines.
