The forward area is entirely dedicated to the owners stateroom, that offers a large cabin, two bathrooms, office area, and walk-in closets.
Four guest cabins, two twin cabins and two very comfortable double cabins, can be found on the lower deck, each with its own bathroom, along with accommodation for up to seven crew members.
A modern gym is placed between the crew and the guest area and is directly connected with the upper deck via a dedicated staircase.
As far as technical aspects concern, the yacht will be powered by three Diesel engines MTU 12 V2000 M94, giving 1432 kW each, coupled to three waterjets KAMEWA 56A3 through a ZF gearbox and double elastic coupling. It will allow the new 38 WJ to reach a 28 knot cruise speed and a 31 knot top speed.
