Nellie B – Quicksilver 855 Weekend by Origin Yachts

Accommodating five across two double cabins and a convertible saloon, she features a separate heads compartment with black Corian worktop, sink, and pull-out shower. The cockpit offers ample seating with a sliding rear bench and a convertible table-to-sun-pad design, augmented by a sliding sunroof and bow sun pad.
