On board tour:
Access to the boat is very easy from the quay, with convenient parking nearby. The wide and comfortable side deck leads to the aft cockpit, a welcoming outdoor space featuring a built-in sofa that hugs the stern and includes generous storage underneath. A table and several chairs complete this convivial area, all nicely shaded by a bimini top.
Step inside through double wooden sliding doors into the wheelhouse, where a spacious and recently reupholstered sofa awaits to starboard, a large storage unit to port, and a well-equipped central helm station. The space is bright and luxurious, with elegant wood finishes, large windows, and solid parquet flooring throughout.
Just a few steps down to port, you enter the main living area, flooded with natural light. To starboard, at the foot of the stairs, is the first bathroom with electric toilet, cleverly laid out and in immaculate condition. Further to port, the modern galley features all the comforts of home: dishwasher, fridge, extractor hood, induction hob, and sink. Opposite the galley, a comfortable dining area is perfect for meals or enjoying a film on the large flat-screen TV.
Forward to starboard is the first cabin, tastefully designed and bright. Opposite, a small corridor leads to the second cabin on the right, cosy and equipped with storage space.
At the very end lies the master cabin, a real highlight of the boat. It features a large central bed, a sitting area with sofa, a desk, plenty of storage, and private access to a spacious en-suite bathroom with large shower – a true haven for comfortable liveaboard living.
