Accommodations

The refined three-stateroom, two-head layout comfortably sleeps six guests in complete privacy, while a premium Flexsteel convertible sofa in the salon easily accommodates two additional overnight guests. Throughout the entire vessel, cleverly integrated lockers and compartments keep extended voyages highly organized and completely clutter-free.

At the heart of the yacht's appeal is the commanding raised pilothouse, which provides the captain with panoramic 360-degree visibility, a centerline helm, and a sweeping wraparound dinette. For effortless docking and locking, a dedicated starboard door offers instant access to the side deck, located just steps away from the fully equipped, U-shaped gourmet galley.

Massive windows flood the main salon with natural light and offer sweeping waterfront vistas from every angle. This light-filled entertaining space features premium finishes, including an L-shaped ultra-leather sofa, a leather swivel rocker with a matching ottoman, and two elegant bar stools. A beautiful adjustable-height cherry plank table with folding leaves transitions effortlessly from a low-profile cocktail table to a spacious formal dining setup.

Outside, the intelligent cockpit features Meridian’s brilliant "flip-up" staircase, which lifts effortlessly to reveal a direct walk-in entryway to the engine room while providing safe, easy passage to the upper deck. Three spacious lazarette hatches grant quick access to the generator and running gear, while the portside transom door leads to an oversized extended swim platform equipped with a high-end Presto Marine hydraulic davit.

The theme of uncompromised space reaches its pinnacle on the expansive flybridge, where a centerline helm features matching captain and companion chairs. This upper-deck oasis is fully equipped for hosting, boasting a wet bar with an integrated refrigerator and icemaker, alongside a massive L-shaped settee and dining table. Enclosed beneath a premium bimini top with full canvas and Eisenglass curtains, this exceptional flybridge ensures total comfort and sophisticated entertaining in any weather condition.
