Finely crafted woodwork creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by natural light streaming through portholes and hatches. Thoughtful details, such as built-in bookshelves, enhance both comfort and functionality. The yacht features two companionways--one leading directly into the salon and another to the port side aft cabin.

Seraphim is constructed of fiberglass, although the deck and cabins are completely covered in high-quality wood, giving it a timeless look. The mast is also crafted from hight quality pine wood, and it has aged exceptionally well. Even though production of the Reliant series officially ended in 1968, Seraphim has been classified as an Offshore model, retaining all the key features of the earlier boats, except for its ballast being encapsulated in the fiberglass keel. The Relient/Offshore series is known for its robust construction, classic lines, and seaworthiness.

Seraphim showcases the renowned Reliant interior layout, featuring three fully independent sections: an aft cabin, a saloon, and a V-berth. At the bow, the V-berth includes two berths and a wardrobe. Midships, the saloon features a table that converts into a double bed, perfect for accommodating additional guests. Opposite the saloon is the galley, equipped with a three-burner gimbaled stove with an oven and a refrigerator. It also includes two sinks and thoughtfully designed storage for cutlery. Moving aft, the head is located to port, with the aft cabin offering additional sleeping space with two berths. Saraphim can comfortably accommodate up to six people.
