The Skylounge bar, located aft, also sports the same lustrous marble countertop with wood trim noted above. A small, countersunk sink glistens in bronze. Stoke it any way you please; the space is yours to decide upon. A raised wood ledge resides behind the sink, backing up to the sofa. It doubles as a backsplash, but would be best finished in a less absorbent material.

Plus, an unspoken benefit, not to be the overlooked or forgotten but readily accessible. Yes, in a quiet corner, hardly noticed until you need it; a-a-h-h, m-mm-hmm that every-ready, indispensable accessory, a 'partially' private head. As the old adage says; There are few if any secrets among good friends. Or... a Throne with a View! That said, the dayhead may have electrostatic windows which makes them go opaque when a switch is thrown.

Though slightly dizzying from this aerobatic presentation, the stairway down is cleverly thought out and even entertaining to use. Its wooden banister is inlaid with a braided leather wrap that adds a warm, southwestern flair.

The staircase's free-floating, plushly carpeted steps arrive at the main deck. Free floating steps are difficult to build, but they don't block the view as much as built-in steps. The following picture will better emphasize this...

An open side view reveals the strongly modern, yet fully sea-going flair of the yacht’s interior design. The free floating steps minimize outward view disruption. A giant rug mural dominates the room with its record-size leaping blue marlin. Mounted on a purpose-built pedestal and ever ready for entertainment is the 54” TV/DVD movie screen; located low to keep views high when not in use, but elevates as needed for viewing pleasure. Above, a trio of speakers set the surround sound stage.

A wide scan of the entire salon presents multiple deep cushioned seating all the way to the aft deck’s sliding glass doors. Beautiful ash-mahogany woodwork and a full view of the illustrious classic leaping giant marlin make this a continually startling welcome.

This photo displays the full area arrangement, looking forward. Artistic, elegantly appointed fabrics, cushioning and expert use of contrasting woods make this on openly inviting space. Of special note is the air conditioning vents that double as an art form, tracing an outline of strategic spaces to flow cool air directly over hot anglers, where ever they might gather. They run throughout the ceiling like a mouse maze.

At the forward end of the salon, the galley bar and robust, wooden swivel chairs demand notice. The bar top favors the same granite found throughout other surfaces, except the prep area countertops have raised, fiddle-like edges in case the mag-lifts can't offset the swells.

Spread out, excellent space utilization shows the care the designers took with endlessly complicated detail. A huge, walk-around, centered, counter/prep space. Copious cabinetry for massive storage. Beautifully finished ash/mahogany woodwork and trim. Truly, space utilization at its best.

The galley aft viewpoint displays not only a marvellous, creative prep/cooking space, but also, at the side portion of this photo, previews the dining table as an attractive quick snack area.

Booth style, diner seating dominates the starboard beam with a view of marina life outside, or an etched glass view of marine life inside, just forward. The granite-topped dining table easily welcomes eight to ten for fresh caught fish. Above, a moonlike lighting fixture softly illuminates but doesn’t overpower the design scheme. In setting an ambiance, lighting plays a big role. Notice the recessed lighting emanating from under the booth seats?

The designers’ artistic sense roars into view here in their treatment of a simple staircase; as it leaps into an expression of beauty. Now this former “cabbage patch plain” presentation becomes an artistic statement of mauve-tinted russet/fawn; a pleasure to the eye as well as the soles.

The most admired and sought-after quarry is never far from the angler’s mind. This is his obsession-come-to-life. And so, he is reminded of this hallowed charm each time he or she confronts it in his dining room; and now also on entry to their stateroom – with this deep-etched portrait of the most wanted prey.

The softness of her design’s color scheme continues, matching in all aspects and textures, creating a restful atmosphere in the Master Stateroom. Overhead recessed lighting brightens the room with a soft glow. A 49” TV/DVD is ready and waiting at the foot of the bed.

An alternate portrait of the Master Stateroom emphasizes the designer’s expressive talent for space and bodily comfort. All the yacht’s warm and inviting design elements are reverberated here.
