A built-in L-shaped dinette comfortably seats four around a removable table, when not in use the table neatly stows under the gunwale when not in use creating an ideal dining or social space. This area also converts into an additional double berth when required, with useful storage located beneath the seating. A corner TV cabinet is positioned to starboard, opposite a multifuel stove which provides warmth and a cosy ambience throughout the cabin. Additional storage compartment is located beneath the stove.
