Interior Arrangements

Master Cabin

Accessed from the traditional-style stern, the master cabin features a comfortable fixed double berth, with useful storage provided by an aft wardrobe and chest of drawers. The cabin also houses the Kabola diesel-powered stove, complete with a back boiler supplying the boat’s central heating system.

Bathroom

A surprisingly spacious walk-through bathroom is fitted with a pump-out toilet, hand basin and full-size bath with an overhead shower, offering excellent onboard facilities.

Guest Twin Cabin

A particularly appealing feature of Santana is her second cabin, conveniently located midships. This versatile guest accommodation benefits from two single berths, with storage provided by both aft and forward wardrobes and additional compartments. The port-side cupboard also houses a 12V freezer, making this an excellent space for accommodating family or visiting guests.

Galley

The practical walk-through galley is well equipped with a freestanding four-burner gas hob, grill and oven, alongside a stainless-steel kitchen sink with drainer. Further appliances include a high-level 240V microwave, 12V fridge with ice box and a Candy 4kg washing machine, conveniently positioned opposite. Generous cupboards and drawers provide plenty of storage for kitchen essentials.

Saloon

Situated forward, the open-plan saloon offers direct access to the bow well deck. The spacious layout offers plenty of flexibility for freestanding furniture, with ample room for armchairs or a sofa bed. A diesel-powered Old Dutch stove is positioned to starboard, providing additional warmth and character, while a corner storage unit with television space is situated opposite. A convenient fold-away dining table provides seating for two and can be neatly stowed when not in use. Further practical storage is available through under-gunnel shelving.
