The forward owner’s suite is the height of luxury, with soft, curving dimensions and a sedate interplay of natural timber and blue and white ombre walls. The large bed is positioned against a large timber-framed hull window, opposite an enormous wall-mountain television, perfect for unwinding after a long day. A long floating vanity unit spans the wall, allowing maximum space for personal items, reading material, or simply objets d’art.
The lower deck offers a range of accommodation options for guests and crew. The most luxurious berth is a full-beam VIP suite located amidships with a spacious en suite bathroom. Two identical double guest cabins can be found aft, to port and starboard, each with their own private head. A well-appointed crew area can be found forward, with two cabins, each with an en-suite, another en suite cabin for the captain, and a large social area with a dinette.
The upper deck is a true showstopper, sure to impress even the fussiest of guests. Aft, you’ll find plenty of sunloungers. Nearby, you’ll also find a sofa, dining table, and stunning wet bar for when the sun is over the yardarm. From here, you only have to walk a few paces to reach the impeccable skylounge, which features a more formal, oval dining table that seats up to 8.
A little further on and you’ll reach the outstanding helmstation. This space features an adjustable settee-style helm seat with a wraparound windscreen for superb visibility. Four multi-function displays and other top-spec navigation electronics make this spot a captain’s dream.
The upper foredeck provides yet another place to relax, chat, and unwind, with two small lounge sofas serviced by two café-style tables, perfect for looking out at the expansive ocean as the sun dips below the horizon.
