Guests are accommodated in four cabins, with a master suite, a double cabin, and two double/twin convertible cabins. A double sofa bed can be converted in the main saloon to provide a further two berths if required.
Main Salon
As you enter the salon from the aft deck you’ll find the bar to your left and the main salon seating area to your right. Featuring a large L-shaped sofa and additional seating this is a comfortable area to sit and relax before adjourning to your cabin (which are all on the main deck).
Accommodations
All accommodations are directly off the main salon on the bridge deck. A unique feature which allows for ocean views from the cabins, all of which feature en-suite heads. Separated into port and starboard cabins, a center hallway separates the port side VIP cabins and on the starboard side Master and guest cabins for a total of four cabins accommodating 8 guests.

Flybridge
The flybridge can be entered up integrated ladders but is typically accessed via the stairs at the forward end of the main salon. The stairway leads right into the main sitting area which easily accommodates 20 or more people. This area can be set up for alfresco dining or can be enjoyed as a large outdoor lounge by lowering the center table and using the cushions to fill the entire area. This is an entertainment area that features custom awnings to keep you protected from the sun during the day and allows for stargazing at night. Just aft of the sitting area are the two main helm stations and sail control centers where the captain can use the hydraulic sail management systems. For the adventurous type, there is a diving board on the aft end.

Storage
Moving forward you will enter the storage areas and workshop with an impressive inventory of spares and tools. All dive gear and equipment is stored in this area.
Aft Deck
