Accommodation/ Layout

Standing dockside, this elegant Picnic Boat is simply breathtaking. The recently painted Flag Blue hull, handcrafted teak and varnished handrails, and cap rails, along with the swept aft transom, exude elegance. The new 480 HP Volvo engine is mated with a new Hamilton jet drive, allowing incredible shallow-draft capability. Boarding the vessel is made easy with the wide gunwale and a two-step ladder to the cockpit. Swimmers can enjoy a custom swim platform with raised transom steps and a custom removable handrail. Crew and passengers will feel secure in the cockpit with high gunwales and enjoy a 360º view of their voyage. An aft bimini top extending off the hardtop provides shade on the hottest days. The forward helm deck area consists of a starboard helm with a large array of electronics, Volvo engine controls, and auxiliary equipment. This setup gives the captain confidence to undertake journeys to far-off destinations. Other helm features include a Stidd chair, joystick controls, an overhead bomar hatch for ventilation, and a weather-protected hardtop with an unobstructed 360º view. To port, there is a forward- and aft-facing bench seat with marine-grade custom cushions. Numerous storage cabinets with vented teak accent doors are also provided. A beautiful teak door with a bifold top forward of the helm invites the crew into the cozy cabin, which features a varnished mahogany interior. Immediately to port is the compact galley, which includes a stainless steel sink, gas stovetop, lapstrake overhead, abundant storage, and a cold plate refrigerator. Across to starboard is the enclosed head, which includes a VacuFlush toilet, mahogany countertop with a molded sink, storage, and a pull-out shower nozzle on the faucet. A porthole provides ample light, and there is a GFI outlet. The V-berth forward features a teak horizontal beadboard finish with beautiful blue cushions and numerous accent pillows. The floor is teak and holly. Additional highlights include an anchor locker, stereo speakers, a deck hatch, portholes, and a hanging locker.
