A concealed Princess 2 burner cooktop and a GE convection microwave oven place true culinary capability at your fingertips, while Subzero drawer style refrigeration keeps provisions perfectly organized and close at hand.

Practicality meets professionalism with the ship’s main electrical panel positioned within easy reach, and port and starboard drawer credenzas that turn every inch into useful stowage without disturbing the galley’s clean, contemporary lines.

Accommodations

The master stateroom is a serene private retreat anchored by a queen berth with generous storage below, flanked by a cedar lined hanging locker that pampers wardrobe pieces and additional drawer storage integrated beneath the berth. The timeless Teak and Holly sole grounds the space with yacht pedigree, while outboard shelf storage and crisp LED lighting keep the suite orderly, airy, and inviting. Guests are welcomed in a smartly configured stateroom offering twin upper and lower berths, a comfortable bench seat with storage below, and a cedar lined hanging locker for longer passages. Thoughtful shelf storage areas forward of both berths, dedicated reading lights, an overhead hatch with shade, the same Teak and Holly sole, and efficient LED lighting create a bright, restful haven.

The Teak and Holly sole continues the yacht’s signature look, joined to port by a double mirrored door vanity with an abundance of shelf storage, and an overhead hatch for natural ventilation.

Tackle room

A dedicated, walk-in tackle room keeps every mission organized, with an abundance of tackle and rod storage thoughtfully arrayed for quick access. Two banks of shelf storage line the space for labeled boxes and spares, the Teak and Holly sole stands up beautifully to long seasons of use, and bright LED lighting and full air conditioning ensure the room remains cool, visible, and ready the instant the bite turns on.

Helm deck

Commanding views begin at a centerline helm crowned by a teak helm pod, with single lever controls and power steering delivering fingertip authority. The captain settles into a Stidd helm chair, while a custom 2 person bench to port offers interior storage and a reversible back to face the action. To starboard, a chart/storage locker keeps navigation tools tidy, and molded in Miya Epoch US#9R teaser reels stand by overhead. Aft of the main helm, generous L-shaped seating with storage gathers the crew around a teak, adjustable hi/lo table, opposite a starboard wet bar with additional molded-in stowage and drawers below. Entertainment and visibility are elevated by a Sony 32" flush mounted TV and molded-in overhead lighting, while a handrail below the hardtop adds security underway.

Purpose built for action, the cockpit features inviting mezzanine seating overlooking a transom livewell, with a transom door and flipup gate making water entry and diving effortless. Port and starboard in deck fishboxes swallow the day’s catch, while port and starboard DC outlets under the gunnel power accessories where you need them most. A dedicated tackle center with rigging station streamlines preparation, fresh and salt water washdown keeps decks spotless, and JL audio stereo speakers carry the soundtrack aft. An additional rocket launcher aft of the hardtop expands rod capacity, and indirect under gunnel lighting sets the perfect after-hours glow.

Fishing equipment

Ready for tournament days, the Palm Beach Towers full tuna tower provides ultimate visibility, with molded in Miya Epoch US #9R teaser reels at the ready. Rupp triple spreader outriggers and a Rupp center rigger lay out a perfect spread, while a transom live baitwell and transom door keep the cockpit efficient and safe. A Bluewater fighting chair with rocket launcher anchors the action, supported by port and starboard in deck fish boxes and port and starboard under gunnel DC outlets to power the chase from first light to last bite.
