Cara Maria is one of those jaw-dropping beautiful boats that at the same time is comfortable and user-friendly. She has the trademark features that make Jongert so famous—the Dutch engine room, internally scuppered portholes, ingenious aft platform that becomes stairs or passerelle…as well as the features which distinguish as unique (See Remarks).
On deck forward there are double bow rollers, windlass and crew entry. On top of the coach roof is an area for sunning. Continuing aft to the entrance of the cockpit area, aft leads to a large, teak table surrounded by comfortable settees. Beyond this is the teak grated platform for tender; it acts as passerelle or stairs to the water.
Forward of the table to port is the pedestal steering. Center is the entrance, down a few steps to the pilot house/salon. Forward stairs lead to the lower salon, galley and crew quarters forward; aft is a long passageway with two staterooms to starboard and a stateroom and day head to port. The master stateroom is at the end of the passageway. From the upper salon another set of stairs starboard aft, spirals down to the landing for the day head, small stateroom and master stateroom.
