Designed for comfortable family living, the yacht comes with four guest cabins (two VIP and two double) on the lower deck while the full-beam owner’s apartment with office and fold-out balcony.

With the transom door open, the beach club is expanded to an impressive 25 square metres. A large swimming pool is placed on the Portuguese deck forward of the bridge that can be filled with seawater while a second 4x2-metre pool on the sundeck complete with American bar setup, 50-inch TV and barbeque area makes for a more family setting.
