Accommodations

As you step below, the first door to port opens to a private head with a vanity and sink. Forward of the head is a separate, dedicated stall shower. The galley is positioned to starboard and features ample storage, including both above- and below-counter drawers and lockers, as well as a stainless-steel sink. The large forward V-berth offers comfortable bunks and drawer storage for two. All lighting and outlets are both 110V and 12V. The interior is beautifully trimmed in teak hardwood, and all soft goods are tastefully finished to complement the Classic Carolina style.
