• Many cooling options: The navigation table on the port side can be equipped with a wine cooler, a freezer or an additional fridge.

The portside cabin in the stern has two layout versions, one with the bed in the direction of the bow and one to the stern. Both aft cabins are large and illuminated by ample of natural light.
