Starting forward on board QUICKSTEP, one finds a VIP stateroom and twin guest stateroom that share a very comfortable head with separate shower stall located on the port side of the hallway. The VIP has an insert to create a rather large berth plus a hanging locker and lots of storage. A large deck hatch complete with screens plus opening port lights provide good ventilation., The guest cabin and the head also have opening port lights for ventilation.
Ascending 3 steps, one is in the pilothouse/galley area of QUICKSTEP. The galley is to port. The helm is starboard and features a truly traditional wooden steering wheel that will make you feel like you are on the adventure of a lifetime.
The entire main deck is finished in satin varnished matched teak wood. This combined with the highly varnished teak parquet flooring found throughout QUICKSTEP creates an elegant look. The true surprise on this lovely sea going home is the fireplace located to port just aft of the galley.
Dual side doors make QUICKSTEP very easy to access and helps out with short handed docking as well.
The salon has seating with storage and an hi-low table located to starboard.
Continuing aft, one descends to the master suite. A queen island berth with a dedicated exit aft to the deck, hide away stairs, large hanging lockers, built in dresser, and opening port lights make this a private owner's sanctuary. The en suite head has a bath tub/shower combo.
As a broker, I hear quite often how our sea going chef's feel like mushrooms in the dark with a galley down. On board QUICKSTEP, one will not hear that from the chef as her galley is located forward on the port side. Tremendous views are available just to be savored like a fine wine. No one will hear about a lack of storage either. Originally, the GB49 was designed, with the idea of cruisers spending long periods of time on board therefore, an abundance of storage was built into her from the beginning plus ample counter space and everything within easy reach.
The engine room on board QUICKSTEP is located beneath the main salon. There is an entrance from below the galley stairs to the lower deck as well as thru several deck hatches. No crouching tigers on this yacht, the engine room has full standing head room. This area is quite large housing not only the standard mechanical equipment one expects on a well founded yacht, but also a work sink and a Kariba washing machine.
