Entrance from the tug deck is down a ladder style stair and in to the saloon, which houses an L shaped dinette style seating. In the corner is a diesel fuelled Bubble Stove set on a hearth of grey tiles, there are a number of fitted cupboards and shelves throughout the boat giving huge amounts of storage.

In the engine room is the washing machine and separate tumble dryer.
This good sized bathroom is made to look even larger by the use of large mirrored doors and mirrored wall panels, the large shower has a tiled splashback in black and a glazed door, with a thermostatic mixer bar. Opposite is a modern wall hung bowl and a jabsco macerator toilet. All accessed by a sliding door.
This cross bedroom again has a good amount of storge with storage above with useful reading lights but also a downward facing television screen, either side of the bed has pull out drawers to make use of every available space. And to give completely independent access to the toilet there is a cleverly concealed toilet compartment hiding behind what appears to be a wardrobe door. This can also be used by anyone using the boatmans cabin.
Hidden behind a door in the corridor is a second Jabsco macerator toilet
