AFT DECK from the swim platform, curved stairs rise to the aft deck.  The streamlined transom contains a passerelle and full docking station controls. When these are not in use all that is visible is the curved transom enhanced by an aquarium style live tank amidships. A wood table is surrounded by armchairs and a functional service bar includes a gas grill and ample storage. To starboard a curved teak stairway ascends to the upper deck.  Thick Plexiglas doors provide protection from the wind when closed and access to the side decks.


AFT FOYER features a magnificent floor inlay of two eagles by stone artist Jeff Homchick illuminated from above by a cast glass skylight.


DAY HEAD is across the foyer to starboard featuring an underlit glass bowl sink and quartzite accents.


SALON foyer features a magnificent marble floor inlaid with two eagles created from fossilized wood. The Salon is spacious. Forward of the bar is the lounge with a hidden HD surround sound entertainment center. The Powder room features an underlit glass bowl sink and quartzite accents. A glass masterpiece is displayed on a built-in buffet which, with leather wall panels, defines the perimeter of the hexagonal Dining Room with its own sound system.


WHEELHOUSE, an elegant stairway leads around a fluted rectangular column up to the pilot house which has a streamlined and uncluttered dashboard with hidden access to most components offering a clear 180° view. There are two Stidd leather helm seats at the navigation station and behind that, a leather elevated settee with table for guest observation.


SKY SUITE aft of the pilothouse provides another comfortable retreat with deep windows to embrace the view with remote controlled Hunter Douglas blinds. This area has a custom couch (which converts to a Queen bed).  There is a full bathroom on the port side with shower. On starboard side is a full wet bar with refrigerator, wine cooler and ice maker. From the aft end of the lounge you exit a door to the Boat Deck and up stairs to the flybridge.

The tender is stored on the Boat Deck. Tender and chocks can be removed and replaced with a teak 10 person dining table and teak chairs. There are also chaise lounges and a large GE chest freezer. There are spiral stairs up to the flybridge.


FLYBRIDGE offers ample seating in either sun or shade. Two tables with wraparound seating are out of the sun, all the way aft is a sunny seating area with wicker chairs. On port and starboard sides forward are flip up wing stations which are completely hidden when not in use. Built into the back of the port side bench seating is a wet bar with refrigeration and ice maker.


GALLEY the very practical on­deck galley with its central island and stools is used for casual dining.  Three large windows illuminate this efficient, well ventilated area, which has an ample pantry and expansive worktops as well as an abundance of large pullout drawers. Automatic door connects the galley to the dining area. Here you will also find the port side main deck crew entrance.


VIP SUITE on­deck has a King berth with pullout drawers beneath wrapped in calf hide. The bed also has a nightstand with built­in lamp on either side. Large windows provide a magnificent view. There is plenty of storage in two hanging lockers and two chests of drawers. The bath is jade green marble with a cylindrical shower full of natural light provided through a skylight. The bath also offers twin vanities, separate toilet compartment and heat on the floor.


MASTER AND GUEST CABINS are found by descending the curved stairway to the lower deck where the diamond shaped foyer is dramatic and the cabins angle off at 45­degrees. The two Guest cabins are aft and the Master forward. The unique arrangement of berths diagonally in these cabins creates a greater feeling of space. 


GUEST CABINS one has a Queen berth, the other is a convertible with 3 beds, each room has corner settees, en-suite bathrooms with floors heaters and showers, two hanging closets and chests of drawers.


MASTER SUITE is full beam with lounge area, desk, King sized bed, vanity two bathrooms, fore and aft to port, one with shower and one with Roman tub. Each head has floor heaters.
