A V berth with filler offers sleeping accommodations for two while two additional pipe berths above allow for two additional single berths. There is a dining table on centerline, mirrored settees to port and starboard for seating at the table, galley to port and enclosed head to starboard. The fit and finish is true to form from the custom yard of John Williams and offered in true yacht finish.


On deck living offers a traditional hard top for the pilot house with open sides sometimes protected by optional Isinglass. Custom helm and navigators pedestal seating, settee to port and full width bench seating across the transom offer great operation or lounging spaces.
