Enter the sundeck from main decks via port or starboard doors. The sundeck has seating with tables plus a wet bar and is a great location for breakfast or cocktails while taking in the view. Steps up on the portside access the flybridge, with the main companionway sliding door located between the flybridge access and the wet bar. Down the companionway, we enter the salon, furnished with two club chairs, a small settee and a coffee table, with the telescoping 44" TV to port. The extra beam increases the interior volume and accentuates the spacious feeling. Large wraparound windows, all with screens and blinds.

Down steps to the dinette on the port side and the well equipped galley across to starboard. Forward is the guest stateroom with a queen bed and good storage in drawers and lockers. The guest head compartment comprises a separate stall shower, washbasin and vacuflush head. 

Back through the salon and down steps on the portside is the master spacious stateroom, with a centerline bed, and picture windows looking over the water at the head of the bed. His 'n' hers closet lockers have automatic lights, and there is abundant additional storage. The head compartment is ensuite on the starboard side, comprising a large separate shower stall with seat, a washbasin with vanity and a new Raritan Marine Elegance fresh-water toilet with built in macerator.

The flybridge has new bench cushions with seating for around six in addition to the helmsman. The molded fiberglass stairway is enclosed and safe. The full enclosure was added by the current owner and with the enclosed sundeck offer great alternatives when the weather is less than optimal, in the slip or on a mooring at the Island.

Gorgeous hand crafted teak cabinetry and joinery and a teak and holly sole add luster and warmth to the general welcoming feeling throughout the boat.
