EXTERIOR

The main deck aft hosts a swimming pool on the stern, and under the shade there is space for an alfresco dining table or lounge facilities.

Two stairways lead down the stern to the lower deck swim platform, which is deep enough for sunbathing and lounging beside the water.

From the main deck aft guests have access to the upper deck aft, which has a sun-exposed stern section for guests to relax with drinks and the views. The sundeck overhang provides plenty of shade for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining. The foredeck is dedicated to the Owner and has a Jacuzzi, seating and sunpads.

The sundeck aft functions as a helipad, and can also be laid out with seating or sun loungers for guests to enjoy the sunshine along with the views.
