The galley is arranged to provide a practical and functional space for preparing meals whilst underway or at anchor.

The cabin benefits from generous sleeping accommodation with an Air-Flow Marine + Sprung Core Mattress (New 2026 from Ship Shape Bedding), ample storage and good natural light and ventilation. Its separation from the forward accommodation gives the vessel a practical two-cabin arrangement, making her particularly well suited to family cruising and longer periods aboard.
