Communications and control are bolstered by Glendinning cockpit controls, two ICOM VHF radios at the flybridge stations, and two Dockmaster yacht controllers. Visual awareness is heightened via Garmin GC12 marine cameras and a FLIR night vision camera, with an ACR RCL1000 search light ready to pierce the dark. Comfort flourishes with two white Devine helm chairs on stainless pedestals, a port entertainment center, a Poly-Planer AM/FM CD sound system, and a Jennaire electric barbeque with wet bar, alongside a 3.1 cubic foot refrigerator, sink with hot and cold water, an inviting L-shaped bench seat, a bow bench seat, and a protective hatch cover.

A windlass completes this meticulously considered command deck.
