The hull will be painted in marine paint used on commercial ships. This will allow easy repairs and will therefore make it easier to moor in commercial or smaller fishing ports while exploring the globe.

There are two en-suite guest cabins mid ship on lower deck, an Owner’s state room with an office and his and hers en-suite forward on main deck.

The saloon opens to the main tender deck. The dining area interacts directly with the galley for a more familiar home setup. On Bridge deck the panoramic upper saloon leads to an outdoor lounge area aft, while the Bridge forward gives clear views to the outsides and interacts directly with the foredeck.
