Accommodations

Entering the boat is done through the covered aft wheelhouse, protected by a full aft cover that can be removed. The headroom here is 2.02m. This space allows for a beautiful terrace that can be covered for more privacy or opened to enjoy the scenery. A table can easily be set up for dining with four people. The retractable helm seat optimizes space when not navigating. The helm offers a 360° view, and being located aft greatly facilitates navigation. Additionally, the bow thruster will make port maneuvers child's play. Moving into the bright and spacious salon, where eight people can comfortably sit. In this first area, two horizontal cabinets on the sides pivot to release two single beds with mattresses already in place. Here, the headroom is 2 meters. This room is open to the galley dinette, further enhancing the spacious feel. In this kitchen, the headroom is 1.86 meters. There is no microwave in this kitchen, but one can be easily installed. Indeed, there is space in the cupboard to the right of the kitchen to place one, and at that location, there is already a 220V outlet. The dinette converts into a double bed, with seat backs completing the seating to form a double mattress. In this large living space, there are three radiators. A large radiator under the 3-seater sofa, one to port, and one under the dinette seat efficiently heat this area in winter. The radiators are powered by a diesel boiler that provides central heating. The 450L diesel tank supplies the engine and the boiler. Moving towards the bow, to starboard, there's a pleasant shower-toilet area. Hot water is obtained through a Bulex Vetus water heater (45L/700W) and the engine while underway. The headroom under the shower is 1.86m. The toilet is electric, and this area also includes a sink with a mirror. Finally, all the way to the bow is the boat's forward cabin with two single beds to port and starboard. There is also a sink in this cabin with a mirror, eliminating the need to wait for the shower to brush teeth or apply makeup. The headroom here is 1.87 meters. The cabin's radiator has been removed to install a larger sink. With existing connections, it's easy to install a radiator or a towel warmer in this cabin. Our owners leave the washing machine, custom-made new curtains, and carpets in the boat, but take back the decorative items and non-built-in furniture.
