Additional information

From the first step on deck, the layout reveals a yacht designed for convivial days on the water and effortless movement fore and aft. The forward cockpit seating welcomes eight guests in real comfort and swiftly converts into two expansive sunbeds for indulgent lounging. The helm station sits to starboard with deeply cushioned seating for two, mirrored to port by passenger seating aligned with the helm for two more. A portside settee with a folding table invites relaxed dining, while a versatile seating module transforms into a sunbed oriented either forward or aft to match the mood. Additional seating to port and starboard runs along the outboard sides and faces forward, creating a generous social arena under way or at anchor.

Practicality is built in everywhere. The entire aft deck is self-draining with additional forward scuppers to keep the decks dry, and robust side boarding doors to port and starboard, engineered with heavy‑duty hardware, ensure secure embarkation. A gate opens to the large aft swim platform for easy access to the water, and an opening windscreen paired with a lower door provides an intuitive, weather‑sheltered pass‑through to the forward seating. Above, an integrated Targa arch and hardtop frame the space with poise, punctuated by two opening deck hatches, while an optional electric sunroof floods the cockpit with sky at the touch of a switch.

The starboard‑side galley is a study in refined utility, anchored by a Corian countertop and supported by an 80 L (2.8 cu ft) fridge/freezer, integrated storage compartments, a wash basin, and conveniently placed AC power sockets. Throughout the interior, wood furniture in plywood with a light wood composite laminate finish sets a warm, contemporary tone. Synthetic wear‑resistant flooring delivers a natural look with low maintenance, while upholstered side and ceiling panels elevate acoustic comfort. Storage shelves, lockers, and drawers are thoughtfully distributed, blinds are fitted to every window, and illumination comes from LED overhead and reading lights, with AC power sockets placed throughout for seamless living aboard.

Stowage and service access are comprehensive and cleverly hidden. An insulated cooler with an integrated drain is built into the port seating; storage lockers sit beneath all aft seating; forward hull lockers are accessed from under the forward seats; and an additional locker lies beneath the forward seating floor area. Large aft hatches grant straightforward equipment access, the anchor locker benefits from a separate chain locker, and the swim platform hatch offers optional ladder access for confident reboarding. All large hatches are assisted by gas lifts for fingertip operation, and every cabin is protected by a carbon monoxide alarm.

Underpinning it all is robust construction and premium deck hardware. Railings and handholds are crafted in AISI 316 stainless steel, complemented by a custom PVC rub rail with a 316 stainless insert for full‑perimeter protection. A tempered glass windscreen with a custom aluminum frame is cleared by two variable‑speed wipers, while the bow is equipped with a 316 stainless steel anchor platform and roller. Ten pop‑up mooring cleats in polished 316 stainless steel are through‑bolted for absolute security, and 316 stainless steel deck fill plates serve water, fuel, and waste systems. Safety and visibility are assured with an emergency ladder and LED navigation lights for port, starboard, anchor, and running duties. Convenience features include integrated side boarding gates with robust stainless hardware and LED drink holders—four in the forward cockpit and six in the salon area—alongside a 30 A shore power connection. Ambient LED overhead lighting enriches the hardtop, settee, and galley areas, and an audio system with speakers in the forward seating and cabins brings the soundtrack to every space.

Accommodation is bright, quiet, and restorative. Each cabin offers double V‑berths topped with memory foam mattresses and framed by wood furniture with a composite laminate finish. Large hull windows flood the spaces with natural light and fresh air, augmented by deck hatches above the cabins for additional airflow and brightness. Privacy and shade are ensured by blinds on all windows, and peace of mind comes from carbon monoxide alarms in every cabin. LED reading lights and overhead lighting complete a serene, energy‑efficient ambience.

The electrical system is designed for authority and simplicity. A master 12 V control panel sits at the heart of operations, with remote battery master switches positioned at the companionway. An engine parallel control and shore power management system adds confidence offshore and convenience in port. Power reserves are delivered by two dedicated engine start batteries, AGM 200 Ah each, and one house battery, AGM 200 Ah, with an optional second house battery for extended autonomy. A 120/3000 VA inverter/charger manages seamless AC conversion and charging, supported by volt and amp meters, a digital tank monitoring system for water and waste, a galvanic isolator system, and a reverse polarity indicator. Entertainment is orchestrated by a multi‑zone master unit, so every area can enjoy its own perfect mood.

Fuel and engine‑bay systems emphasize safety, range, and control. Fully independent manual fuel shut‑off valves safeguard maintenance and emergencies, while aluminum fuel tanks totaling 1,350 L (356 US gallons) with a gauge deliver substantial cruising autonomy. Tank vents and natural ventilation are complemented by forced ventilation governed from the helm station for proactive airflow management. Filtration is entrusted to Mercury fuel filters, and the engine space is protected by an automatic fire suppression system with alarm monitoring at the helm, plus a fuel tank area alarm system integrated at the helm for instant awareness.
