Step onto the side deck by way of the oversized fold down boarding ladder and gates. The side decks are wide and offer excellent maneuverability fore and aft. The cockpit is large and has plenty of seating with Blue Sunbrella cushions and protection by the Sunbrella blue bimini, dodger and connector. Storage lazarettes are under the seats and the helm offers a panoramic view of the surroundings. At the helm is a beautiful stainless-steel pedestal and destroyer steering wheel and all controls, gauges and electronics are within easy reach. The companionway has a thick drop in door and the lower edge folds down out of the way. A few steps down and you enter the large and comfortable main cabin. Immediately in front of you is the engine compartment that is protected and covered by the double sink and stainless-steel counter a galley cabinet. The cabinet will fold up from fore to aft and reveals complete 360-degree access to the engine compartment.

The L-Shaped galley is along the port side with plenty of space for food preparation and storage. The large, top-loading, refrigeration and freezer compartments are aft. The onboard chef will find the galley inviting and a pleasant place for food preparation. Across from the galley and aft is the quarter-berth. The berth is large and has outboard storage and drawers under the berth forward. Forward is a cabinet for storage and a hanging wet locker. Forward and to starboard is the navigation station with access to the electrical panel and a top-opening desk. The salon is massive and has plenty of outboard storage with cabinets, shelves and opens areas. The centered dinette table leaves fold neatly out of the way and when extended can easily seat 8. Along the port side is a L-Shaped settee with storage behind the back cushions and to starboard is a long settee with storage behind the back cushions. Forward and to starboard is a cabinet or storage and a liquor locker in the upper cabinet. Across and to port is the head with teak grates on the floor, ample countertop spaces and a hand-held shower compartment. The head has a privacy door.

All the way forward is the stateroom with a V-Berth that has a single large mattress. Outboard are storage cabinets and opens spaces. The walls are covered with beautiful wood slats. There are drawers aft of the berth and a small settee to starboard and a hanging locker and cabinet with storage.
