Main Deck
Entering the main salon from the double opening automatic doors from the aft deck, there is a convenience bar to port and a stairway leading down to lower guest deck to starboard. Moving forward into the very spacious salon there are opposing settees/couches to port and starboard with twin coffee tables and matching settee end tables. There is additional separate chair seating around the settees that compliment this beautiful conversation area. Large salon windows throughout the salon makes this area feel wonderfully light and spacious. Moving forward and to port is the dining room with large table and seating for ten.

Ample storage with large cabinets and drawers is outboard to port along with a separate buffet just forward of the dining table. Across from the dining room and to starboard is the entry to the foyer along with the central staircase allowing easy access to all three deck levels. Forward of the dining table on the port side is the large chef’s galley with a separate food preparation island. On the starboard side, forward of the entry foyer, is the separate owner's stateroom lounge with comfortable seating and entertainment. Moving forward you then enter the spacious, full beam owners' suite, furnished with abundant storage, seating, hanging locker closets along with large separate his and hers bathrooms.

Forward to port is the fully equipped u-shaped refreshment bar and large 80-inch television. Moving forward along the starboard side you gain access to the pilothouse, the main control center for steering and navigation. This area is equipped with twin helm chairs along with additional guest seating and table. A day head is located aft.
