The flush mounted side door provides maximum aisle width and a large doorway while the door is an integral part of the design. The side door also gives the opportunity to steer the boat or add standing room on the outside. The polyurethane bonded windows in the superstructure gives, besides a modern look, an unusually high stability and very quiet salon. The driving position has been further developed and the dashboard can be equipped with two 12 inch chart plotters side by side.

    The boat offers a large aft deck which is on the same level as the swim platform and the salon. The saloon has large flat surfaces and is perceived as light, spacious and modern but cozy thanks to the combination of materials of pillows or cushions. The extensive woodwork in saloon and cockpit gives a great feeling of craftsmanship and quality. Inside, the boat offers lovely quality and feel in terms of space and materials.
