Gypsea Belle
Quick Walkthrough
The bi-fold doors open the upper lounge room out onto the back
deck. A Webber Q on the
upper back deck makes barbequing a pleasure and with the solid roof for cover, a shower of rain won’t
matter at all. The fly bridge controls and entertaining area are situated on the upper front deck meaning the captain is never isolated.
