Interior
Inside, he admires the classic galley aft layout with full-height fridge freezer, all-electric cooking, and soft-close storage spaces. Also appreciated is the sideboard area, designed for storing bottles and glasses, and the cocktail fridge. Nick likes the attention to detail in the design, such as the wooden curves and the integrated lighting.
The helm has a glass cockpit, multifunction display, and engine instrumentation, with seats adorned with diamond stitching, a lovely aesthetic touch. The yacht also features bow and stern thrusters, engine controls, and a joystick control.
In terms of accommodation, the yacht offers a VIP guest cabin with plenty of storage and ensuite access to the day heads, a third cabin with power-together single beds converting into a double bed, and the owner's cabin that spans the full beam of the boat. Nick highlights the big hull windows, quality woodwork, and strategic lighting in these spaces.
On Deck
Nick appreciates the practicality and sensibility of the yacht, referring to it as a "rather lovely flybridge boat". He demonstrates the Hi-Lo platform where a tender can be placed and lowered into the water, and points out the crew cabin. Also highlighted are the controls for the Hi-Lo platform and the passerelle, which extends out for easy access to the boat.
On the flybridge, Nick likes the wet bar with a barbecue, the seating area. The helm has multifunction displays and achain counter for anchoring. He also points out the refrigeration compartment next to the helm.
Nick also tours the crew cabin, stating that it is mostly used by owner-operators but can be used for long passages or to accommodate teenagers. The crew cabin is well fitted out with a single bed, sink unit, toilet, and shower.
