It's head allows for a shower over a full bath for a luxurious soak when water is plentiful. Large walk in wardrobe on port or use this area as a second desk.

The twin bunk guest cabin can be used as an office with a mattress coming down over the desk when extra guests are aboard.
  • The huge flybridge seats 10-12 and has a second steering station. Helm is located for good views of the bow and the sure-footed Cat stability means it is still comfortable up top in the rough. Flybridge can be enclosed for all weather comfort.
