On Deck

The size and finish of the cockpit area is particularly impressive with a seating area and shady overhang. The stern berthing controls are also situated here, which help with reversing into a berth. 

There are deep side decks leading to the seating area on the bow with sun pads. The foredeck also features plenty of practical storage.

The flybridge has a metallic silver hardtop and wonderful upholstered finish. He admires the glass panel that improves the view from the sun pad and the folding table in the bar area. The roof can be opened for added light and air, and the seating area comfortably accommodates half a dozen people.

Interior

The saloon has large windows that allow a lot of light into the boat, with easily accessible storage areas for glasses, crockery, and other items. The galley is centrally located with an adjacent dining area, which can comfortably sit eight people. There are high-quality Miele cooking appliances, large fridge freezers, and adishwasher. The lower helm's side access door impresses, as it allows the skipper immediate access out or the crew to move without disturbing guests. Next to the helm, there is a raised snug area.

In the guest areas, Nick is particularly taken by the size of the VIP guest cabin, its generous wardrobe space, and the ensuite. He commends the indirect lighting solutions and the large hull windows for their morning view. The additional guest cabins are well-sized with ensuite facilities.

The owner’s suite has its own staircase entrance and features large hull windows, generous storage spaces, dressing table and wardrobes. The ensuite has twin sinks, storage, illuminated mirrors, and rainfall shower.

Crew Accommodation

The crew area is accessed from the bathing platform and has a good size and air conditioning. There is a twin cabin with plenty of headroom, storage and ensuite. The laundry facilities are located here along with extra storage. 

Performance

The engine room has twin 1800 horsepower MAN V12 engines that give the boat a speed in the mid-30s. At planing speeds, the yacht has a range of 300-350 miles, but at displacement speeds, the range can extend to almost a thousand miles.
