EXTERIOR

The main deck aft is a spacious area that comes furnished with three sofas and two armchairs around a coffee table. Two stairways lead down to the swim platform, and a starboard stairway connects to the upper deck aft above. Side walkways go past the main salon to stairs up to the foredeck.

The upper deck aft is a shaded environment designed for alfresco dining around the large circular table, and outdoor relaxation on the sofas lining the stern. The foredeck provides a C-shaped sofa-sunbed for enjoying the sunshine and the views, and farther down the bow the tender and water toys are stored to make room in the lower deck stern for a beach club.

On the sundeck, the massive forward Jacuzzi is placed between two equally large sunbeds, and a wet bar is amidships to port for refreshments throughout the day. Forward and aft corner sofas on the starboard side make a casual place for drinks under the shade of the hardtop, and there is a day head so that guests never have to leave the sundeck. One last sofa and sunbed is integrated into the stern section for unwinding in the open air.

INTERIOR

The lower deck hosts the crew accommodation, mess and laundry facilities forward, while the guest accommodation is amidships followed by the engine room and then the beach club with gym equipment in the stern.

On the main deck the Master suite is forward, behind which is the galley to port and the main foyer to starboard. The main salon behind includes the formal dining area, an elegant modern setting seating the group in an intimate environment. After a meal, the group can settle into the lounge where three sofas are placed around a cluster of coffee tables on the port side or settle into one of the two armchairs under the starboard windows for a game of chess or close conversation over drinks.

On the upper deck the bridge controls are forward, and there is a sofa in the port corner for guests to watch the changing views. The Captain’s cabin, galley, foyer and day head are amidships, and the aft section is dedicated to the sky lounge.

The beautiful skylounge is ideal as a casual daytime relaxation area and for entertaining at night, combining warm tones with plush white furnishings. The wet bar is forward with two sofas and an armchair on the port side facing in around a coffee table, while a widescreen TV pops up from the cabinetry to starboard.

The engines give a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 11 knots, with a transatlantic range.
