Accommodations

Step inside and the salon greets you with a thoughtful blend of technology and tactile comfort: a grounded 110V outlet and dedicated 110V lighting are paired with warm 12V courtesy and overhead lights, all governed by an AC/DC system control. Underfoot, carpet softens the designer package’s curated finishes, while a digital tank monitoring system and dual-zone air conditioning with intuitive digital controls keep life aboard effortless. Rich interior wood sets the tone around a solid-cherry hi-low table, an Ultra Leather pull-out berth, and an Ultra Leather lounge seat. To port, dual chairs with a companion table invite conversation, while a U-shaped dinette situated up at the galley level anchors the social heart of the boat. Practicality is equally celebrated with utility room access and an Uline ice maker to keep refreshments perfectly chilled. The entertainment center elevates downtime with Bose Surround Sound for AM/FM and a five-disc CD/DVD changer, synchronized to a flat screen television for cinematic evenings on the hook.

The galley is designed for culinary confidence at sea, with two 110V GFI outlets, 12V courtesy and overhead lights, and an AC/DC Norcold refrigerator/freezer that keeps provisions in peak form. Belle Ironwood natural hardwood flooring underlines cherry cabinetry, a convection/microwave, and a deep double sink, all framed by Karadon custom solid-surface countertops and a lighted corner cabinet. A recessed three-burner electric cooktop completes this chef’s-ready workspace.

Forward, the master stateroom is a serene retreat offering two 110V grounded outlets, 12V courtesy lights, and five 12V overhead lights, complemented by 12V reading lights and a 12V receptacle with a phone jack. Stowage is generous and refined with two cedar-lined illuminated wardrobe closets and cherry cabinetry, while one overhead deck hatch ushers in natural light and breeze. Designer fabrics frame a queen island berth, and a flat screen TV stands ready for private viewing. Ensuite to port, the master head is intelligently appointed with a 110V grounded outlet, 12V courtesy lights, five 12V overhead lights, and forced-air ventilation. A mirrored medicine cabinet and molded enclosed shower stall meet the VacuFlush head system and a vanity cabinet to keep the space pristine and practical.

A guest day head to starboard mirrors the same uncompromising approach with a 110V grounded outlet, 12V courtesy and overhead lighting, forced-air ventilation, a mirrored medicine cabinet, a molded shower, a VacuFlush head system, and a vanity cabinet, making quick freshen-ups both easy and elegant.

Midship, the VIP guest stateroom impresses with a 110V grounded outlet, a dedicated 110V light, 12V courtesy lights, 12V overhead lights, and 12V reader lights. A built-in bureau, three cedar-lined illuminated wardrobe lockers, cherry cabinetry, designer fabrics, and a convenient desk deliver residential comfort at sea. Four bonded hullside windows bathe the island berth and vanity in natural light, while a flat screen TV completes the suite.

Electronics and helm details

At the helm, confident command begins with two Raymarine e125 HybridTouch displays integrating GPS, charts, and radar, augmented by a Raymarine 4kw HD open array radar for crisp situational awareness. Clear communications arrive via the Raymarine RAY240 VHF Command Mic, while depth is tracked by a Raymarine ST60+ display. Precision navigation is second nature with a Mercury autopilot and a Mercury VesselView 7” digital engine readout display, complemented by VDO instrumentation gauges. Maneuvering is effortless with Zeus joystick control and Mercury/Cummins DTS electronic engine controls, all arranged around a molded dash with a dedicated dash panel and a starboard switch panel. An Integrated Vessel Control (IVC) suite ties systems together, while a Ritchie flush-mounted compass and a tilt wheel keep traditional ergonomics at your fingertips. A supportive captain’s chair completes the picture for long passages in complete comfort.

Flybridge

The flybridge is a true all-season sky lounge, secured by full air conditioning with heat and illuminated by 12V courtesy lights and refined overhead lighting. Two passenger companion bench seats keep guests in the conversation, with beverage holders close at hand. A hardtop with full enclosure creates a quiet, protected environment, enriched by ample bridge stowage and a proper companionway door. Entertaining flows easily around durable Karadon counter tops and an aft L-shaped lounge seat with table, framed by a Venturi windshield and stainless steel grab rails for confident movement underway. Refreshments are always within reach thanks to a Dometic refrigerator and a sink with faucet, ensuring the upper deck is as practical as it is inviting.

Hull and deck

Built on hand-laid fiberglass with thermal and acoustical hull insulation, the exterior inspires confidence from first glance. Dockside duties are streamlined by two 10-inch mooring cleats and six 12-inch mooring cleats, while the integrated transom platform and Quick windlass make arriving and anchoring effortless. The deck is finished with Diamond non-skid, bonded hullside windows, and bonded, tinted windows, plus a hatch on the fore deck and opening salon windows to flood the interior with light and air. A stainless-steel anchor roller and concealed anchor line locker keep the bow tidy, as do stainless-steel framed opening portlights and welded stainless-steel deck rails. Details like a resilient rub rail, through-hull fittings, and underwater exhaust speak to real-world durability. This vessel meets or exceeds all applicable U.S. Coast Guard safety standards and carries NMMA certification for additional peace of mind.

Windshield and canvas considerations are equally robust, with black mesh windshield covers and a bonded tempered safety glass windshield. Along the gunwale walkway, stainless steel handrails add security underfoot. In the cockpit, 12V courtesy lighting, an engine room access hatch, freshwater washdown, and a hot-and-cold shower serve every need. A locking sliding glass door, molded steps to the side decks, a molded staircase, a self-bailing cockpit, and a shore water connection underscore practical design, while a transom door and transom seat make every harbor arrival a pleasure. At the swim platform, a Weaver davit system stands ready for tenders and toys.

Mechanical and engine details

Engineered for quiet strength, the machinery spaces feature 12V overhead lighting, an access ladder, and comprehensive acoustical and thermal insulation around a structural engine mounting system. Reliability is built in with bilge pumps, Integrated Vessel Control (IVC), a pressurized water system, and a water heater. Safety and serviceability are elevated by fuel shutoff solenoids, a high engine temperature and low engine oil pressure audio alarm, internal sea strainers, Racor fuel filters, and a Halon system.

Within the salon, a dedicated utility/storage room adds genuine yacht practicality with 12V overhead lighting, access steps, and a hinged hatch. A stainless steel grab rail, ample storage, and port and starboard folding systems access doors make routine checks simple, while house battery access, a Halon system, and VacuFlush systems access ensure that essential services are always within reach.
