WALKTHROUGH
Flybridge/Sundeck:
There is a centerline staircase down to the pilothouse. To port is an icemaker and a sink in the bar and to starboard there is a BBQ grill and a refrigerator. On either side higher up there are flybridge stations, each with both displays and controls.
Two manual sliding glass doors have access either side to the covered sky deck with fore and aft facing settees around two teak coffee tables, also with loose furniture. There is gym equipment to the starboard side, access down to the main deck on port side and a large circular hot tub on the centerline further aft. Four chaise lounges are further aft.
Pilothouse:
The raised pilothouse has two “Recaro” (STIDD chairs) type chairs, a GMDSS station to port, chart table to starboard and a desk, also to starboard. Stairs go down to the main deck, there is an L shaped settee to port and centerline access to the flybridge aft.
Main Deck:
There are excellent storage lockers outside forward.
The owner’s bathroom is further aft with mirror image “his and her” bathrooms with a central shower. The owner’s stateroom has a super king-sized bed on the centerline, entertainment center forward and a full walk-in wardrobe behind.
Further aft, under the pilothouse floor is an enormous technical space. On the port side is access down to the crew quarters near a pantry with coffee maker, sink and dishwasher and trash compactor.
The dining salon is open to the main salon and forward with table and ten chairs around.
One of the delightful features of this series of Palmer Johnsons are the port and starboard balconies that open out to the sea on deck, either side of the dining room. Access is through two pantograph doors forward. These balconies are large enough for seating with umbrellas.
The main salon has excellent seating aft in an L shape and there is a stand-up bar to starboard with wine cooler and refrigerator. There are two ways out to the aft deck from the main dining salon; a standard glass door and an electric sliding double glass door out to the aft deck, with a walk-up bar to starboard and storage lockers opposite, underneath the staircase up to the sundeck.
A circular dining table for eight has chairs around and there are easy chairs around a coffee table and bench seating outside on the aft deck. There are massive sun pads behind the seating and port and starboard staircases down to the swim platform and tender garage.
Lower deck:
There are two crew cabins forward with upper and lower berths, each with their own bathroom and each with their own dry shower. There are two more crew cabins further aft, one on the starboard side is furnished with upper and lower berths and en suite, and the one on the port side is the dedicated engineer’s cabin, with a desk and bathroom. The captain’s cabin is further aft to port with a nice sized bathroom and a desk.
The laundry is opposite the captain’s cabin and the main galley is aft, opposite the crew mess. There is an extensive walk-in refrigerator space aft of the galley.
The staircase from the main deck enters the guest area forward. There is a day bathroom at the foot of the stairs.
There are two twin bedded staterooms, each with the ability to slide the beds together for a king bed and each with Pullman berths. Each has an en suite bathroom with shower. Further aft there are two queen staterooms, each with en suites with showers. These bathrooms insulate the stateroom area from the engine room which is further aft.
The tender garage is further aft of the engine room with HI-FOG equipment, diving compressor and Novurania tender, 2 Sea-Doos and 2 Seabobs. A massive swim platform serves this toy set up area.
