Cockpit consists of triple helm seat, longitudinal bench seat/half-berth and spacious U-shaped settee situated in the aft part. Sun bed is obtained by adjusting height of the double table (fans of exposing to UV-beams will also find their place on the bow comprising two sun pads). Convertible bimini top is situated inside the aluminium radar arch, while wet bar with optional ice maker excellently serves for refreshment. Available is also optional hydraulic swim platform which lifting and lowering utterly facilitates manipulation with the scooter/auxiliary boat. Wealthy interior offers two cabins of which the aft one serves as a second saloon during daytime. Main saloon has two-height adjustable curved table. Galley is quite appropriately equipped for the few-day sojourns on an anchor in desolate bays.

Cruising speed amounts to 23 knots with fuel consumption of 91 litres per hour and cruising range of around 200 nautical miles.
