Which lower deck layout do you prefer?

Is there space for cooking on the aft deck or rear bridge area?

If the planned usage were charter, then would recommend 4 versus 3 stateroom floor plan.

For a 75 ft fast boat in the Med (Charter ?), I would go for the 4 Cabin version. The maximum a pantry/galley on fast boats is used here, is for snacks or breakfast. For dinner everybody makes reservations at the restaurants. Having said that, for the Med, the small galley would be fine but I do not know your circumstances in the Red Sea.

putting it like both members above me, i'd say it depends on your usage, 4 cabin layout would be great for charter or if you're traveling with some friends and you're eating out every night, if you're planning to travel with family etc maybe a nice kitchen is the best choice. But if traveling like that maybe you'll have to adjust the double beds to twin beds (for 2 children)

I would go with the 4 stateroom layout. If you have a BBQ Gril on the deck above you could get plenty of cooking done. The only thing that I see being a problem is refrigeration.

You could go for the 4 bedroom option and eliminate one of the bathrooms, have 2 bedrooms share one bathroom with access from the hallway.

Very good idea!

I personally would prefer the 3 cabin layout. It would lend itself better to a casual environment. That is unless you NEED the extra space

And as Pascal says, people like to hang around in kitchens more these days.

Are you looking at up-sizing again?

I know we all enjoyed your last thread following the build.

I like the 3 stateroom layout with the larger galley. Depending upon the configuration of the guests aboard, that side stateroom may be more useable with twin berths that could perhaps be convertible to a king, instead of the dedicated queen berth. Looks like an exciting project.

You need a bigger boat

It's tricky. If you are often cruising with friends, I would prefer the 4 bedroom layout. If I want to cook by myself I want a large galley. I think the large galley layout makes it not so cramped like another cabin on that side and a bit more "airier".

Which unit of measurement is used in the 3rd picture? Centimeter?

I like the 4 SR layout due to being able to accomodate more people. If you are looking for a great meal, there are so many places to pull in and break up the time between "being on" and "being off" the boat. I've noticed that the owners of Yachts in this size range tend to like to arrive at a marina / restaurant on the Yacht, then go in and eat / drink / socialize, then get back on the Yacht and head out. I enjoy this too as a Captain because it gives me a little time to "unwind" from the day and sit back and relax for a while. (Provided that the owners want me to join them for dinner).

Hi there,

If your use requires always having space for guests then more rooms it is, if not and you can accomodate the infrequent extra guests one way or the other, then for sure a bigger galley would be the better option, at least my personal preference.

You couldn't find anyway to have an open galley on the main deck? Unless you are gonna have a cook, an open kitchen is interactive and fun to be around, and it doubles as a cocktail bar for chilling out and having some nice summer drinks.

Wishing you all the best on your new project and thanks for sharing the experience of a new build with us all.

Cheers,

Alf

Yep I would have taken that layout as well... a new Fairline Targa 75 in December 2014 or are you cheating on Fairline?
