On Deck

The yacht comes with a bathing platform that can lift a tender and sit it onto the platform. There's a boarding ladder for access from the sea and a shower tucked away near the platform. Nick walks us through the safety locker which houses manual bilge pumps and fuel shut-offs for both engines and the generator.

The flybridge has a helm with twin seats, a bar area with a grill and a fridge, and a large seating area. There's also a bimini top for shade and lights for night time.

Interior

The saloon is well appointed, with ample seating and a folding table. Pointed out is a rail on the deckhead for stability when moving around the boat.

The helm position is shown with two seats and a dash equipped with battery switches, a multi-function display, and an autopilot. The helm also has air conditioning controls and an opening window for ventilation.

The yacht features a galley-down layout, with a separate area for food preparation. The galley is equipped with a four-burner ceramic hob, a fridge, and a combination microwave. It also has ample storage, including under the floor.

The VIP cabin has a good amount of storage and an en-suite bathroom. The yacht also has a third cabin with bunk beds. The master cabin, located at the back of the yacht, spans the full beam of the boat and has its own separate en-suite. Nick notes that such a design was rare in 2007.

Crew Accommodation

The yacht also has a small crew cabin with a bed and a toilet, which Nick suggests could be used as extra storage or a private space for a teenager.

Performance

In the engine room, there are two Volvo Penta D9 engines, each with 575 horsepower. The yacht has a 32-knot top speed with cruising speed in the mid-20s providing a range of around 250 miles. The engine room also houses a generator, a hot water system, and charging systems for the batteries.

In Summary

Throughout the tour, Nick draws attention to the yacht's attention to detail, usability, and social areas, expressing his appreciation for these features.
