Interior Arrangements

Galley

Entering the boat via the central stern doors leads into a bright and airy cabin space. The walk-through galley is fitted to a high standard, boasting Corian work surfaces and bespoke cabinetry. Appliances include a surface-mounted 3-burner gas hob, a built-in Thetford gas grill and oven, an eye-level Russell Hobbs 240V microwave, a 240V 3kg Zanussi washing machine, and a 12V Shoreline fridge. An undermount sink with a brass single-lever mixer tap completes this stylish and practical space.

Dinette

A Pullman’s style dinette comfortably seats four around the table, with forward and aft-facing seats. This area easily converts into an additional double berth, with further storage beneath the seating. Port and starboard hatches flood the area with natural light and provide excellent ventilation when open.

Saloon

Midships, the saloon offers a comfortable L-shaped sofa bed, providing two extra berths if required. A Bubble stove on a tiled hearth sits to starboard, opposite a storage cupboard. An under-gunwale built-in TV cabinet houses a 32” TV, adding to the home-from-home feel.

Bathroom

The walk-through bathroom maximises space with a good-sized shower enclosure, a modern Cinderella incinerator toilet, and a vanity unit with a ceramic hand basin.

Master Cabin

The relaxing and practical master cabin features a fixed double bed extending up to 4ft 6in, with an overhead cupboard and LED reading spotlights. A good-sized wardrobe with shelving and hanging space, along with an additional storage cupboard, provide ample room for belongings. The cabin also has direct access onto the bow well deck.
