The main saloon, aft of the galley, features cherry wood panelling, a U-shaped bar with fridge, built in settees and a 42 inch LCD television screen.

To port and starboard are fixed windows and electric drop windows while fitted in the overheads are flush mounted lights and marinized stereo speakers.

Under power, she cruises at 10 knots powered by twin 400hp Caterpillar diesel engines.
