The main saloon is full beam and furnished with cream coloured sofas and chairs along with a games table, entertainment centre and bar. Adjacent is a full service galley with marble countertops, a glass table and bench seating upholstered in white leather, making it an ideal spot for casual snacks.

The aft deck caters to lovers of the outdoors, offering built in seating and a teak table with matching chairs, and a stairway leads up to the flybridge. The flybridge comes with more built in seating, three helm seats, a table with chairs, a bar, fridge, ice maker and comfortable sun loungers.
