Accommodations

Exterior: On the aft deck, there is a great terrace covered by a bimini (August 2021) where you can easily dine with six people and enjoy barbecues and sunbathing. Descending from this platform, you access the engine room via a hatch. At the bow, there is a bench for two people and a dis-mountable umbrella. There is also a hatch here providing access to a storage space. Interior: Entering the boat through 2 side doors, you access a cozy wheelhouse/salon area. Indeed, you can dine with 4 to 6 people while accompanying the pilot during navigation. This helm area is very convenient for navigation as it offers a 360° view through its numerous windows. You can also ventilate this space without letting mosquitoes in, thanks to the mosquito screens installed on the doors. The wheelhouse and the open kitchen are illuminated by flat panel lights that provide shadow-free lighting, ideal for reading! The headroom in this helm area is 1.90 m. Moving towards the stern, four steps lead us to the salon and its open kitchen! There's an Ariston 4-burner gas stove and grill (new in 03/2023), extractor hood, BEKO fridge-freezer (new in 07/2018): everything you need to prepare meals while engaging with your guests. In this area, there's a mobile 2600W air conditioning unit, energy class A, to keep you cool in the summer. You'll be equally comfortable in the winter with the Mistral S2 oil boiler (new in 09/2018) and the boat's 7 radiators. Finally, in this salon, the cherry on the cake is the home cinema with a video projector, retractable screen, 5 speakers, and a subwoofer for immersive cinema experiences. In this salon/kitchen, the headroom is 2.05 m. It's also in this salon that the 8 lithium service batteries of the boat (400 Ah each for an impressive total of 3200 Ah!) are cleverly concealed. To recharge the batteries, there are 8 solar panels (including 2 removable ones) for a total charge of 2250 W, as well as the Leroy-Somer 22 KVA generator! Add to that the two huge red diesel tanks (total of 1100 L): true energy autonomy is achieved. As proof, our owners have been living with this boat for 5 years along the Midi Canal without being connected! For water, there's a canal water filtration system with 6 filters + UV lamp at the tank entrance. Separately a reverse osmosis unit makes available ultra purified water to the kitchen. Filtered water and reverse osmosis treated water are available at the kitchen sink. All other taps are fed with filtered and UV-sterilized water. There is a measurement tool for water purity in the wheelhouse. Thus, our owners have been drinking this water without any issues for 5 years. Now, let's head towards the front of the boat, passing through the wheelhouse area (a layout that reminds me of Luxemotors boats) and descending four steps. To starboard, you'll find the boat's shower with a thermostat (new in 08/2021), sink, mirror, and as always, practical mosquito screens. Hot water is provided by a 60 L Sigmar Termoinox 1.2 KW tank (new in 07/2021). In this separate shower, the headroom is 2.02 m. To port, there's the first cabin with a desk and its double bed measuring 90 x 130 cm; the headroom here is 2.08 m. Next, to the starboard, a separate toilet with a headroom of 2.03 m, and opposite, the washing machine with a concealed safe above. Finally, the owner's cabin with its own toilet to starboard: here, the headroom is 2.04 m. The double bed measures 1.90 x 1.70 m and can be separated into two single beds. There's also plenty of storage space in this main cabin, as you can see in the photos and videos.
