The cockpit of the boat will charm you. It features U-shaped sofa, a dinning table and can be completely covered from the sun thanks to the retractable shade which can be extracted from the roof. The exterior cockpit together with the bow sunbathing deck is the ideal place to enjoy the sea views.

The living area of the boat can comfortably accommodate 8 guests. The entrance to the living area, the stairs which lead to the sleeping quarters and the corridor below deck all follow an imaginary straight line which goes from stern to bow without any visual obstacles in order to create continuity of space, ideally open environments and essentialness of line which all come together to guarantee the right privacy and independence whilst enhancing the livability.
