The bright and airy saloon is entered through two weather tight welded aluminum doors with windows from the fully covered aft deck.  To starboard is a large L-shaped settee with custom Ultraleather fabric and a teak fold out dining/coffee table with hi-low base. To port are two comfortable Ekornes leather recliners with matching foot stools and a high/low side table.  There are large opening windows to port and starboard and an opening window in the aft bulkhead all with screens, teak valances and curtains.  The saloon is prewired for sound.  The teak and spruce flooring adds a modern yet nautical touch. 

For access to the engine room there are multiple hatches in the saloon floor.  Day to day access for the engine room though is through the lift up stairs to the stateroom companionway.  This AE upgrade was a welcome improvement to provide more comfortable and convenient access to the engine room.  The stairs are fitted with a deadlight so the captain can glance into the engine room while underway to check on things without lifting the stairs. 

The open faced U-shaped galley is forward of the saloon on the starboard side.  It's ergonomic arrangement makes it a pleasure to use and is fit for a professional chef. There is ample storage in multiple cabinets and drawers.   There is a screened opening port above the stove providing extra light and excellent ventilation while cooking.  The AE model upgrades have enlarged the space to provide for the professional Viking stove as well as the huge 19 cu ft refrigerator.

Four screened opening ports and an opening hatch above the bed provide natural light and ventilation. There is an additional large storage compartment under the bed accessed with a hydraulic lift.  There is a Furuno RD33 display mounted beside the bed for quick position check and anchor alarms.   

The head is on the port side opposite the guest stateroom/office.  There is a large molded shower stall with seat and bi-fold aluminum and glass door.  There is a Dometic Masterflush freshwater toilet, mirrored medicine cabinet, linen locker and Corian topped vanity. 

On the port side of the companionway there are stacked Asko front loading household size washer and dryer behind teak louvered doors.

To starboard is the guest stateroom/office.  The Ultraleather settee converts to a double bed and a pullman berth provides additional berthing space.  There is a desk with drawer and book shelves as well as ample drawer and locker storage.  Two screened opening ports provide natural light and ventilation for a very open and airy feeling.   

The raised pilothouse provides great sight lines and is only a few short steps up from the saloon on normal riser stairs, complete with banister.  There are built -in storage compartments in the steps as well as a book shelf over the steps.  Welded aluminum Dutch doors to port and starboard can be dogged-down  to create a watertight seal. The Ultraleather settee/ watch berth converts to a double bed for extra guests.  A teak high-low table provides the perfect work space for a lap top and who wouldn't want an office with a view?  The Ultraleather LeBroc helm chair w/ fold up bolster and foot rest affords the captain total comfort under way while also minimizing the footprint.  There are multiple cabinets, drawers and compartments providing plenty of storage.
