Quick Walkthrough
Fully equipped kitchen with twin fridges, microwave, 4-burner gas stove and oven. Everything you need to feed your crew.
Air conditioned lounge room and dining room area with plenty of seating. Great place to enjoy each other’s company, a lovely meal or kick back and watch something on the 42” plasma tv with sound bar.
Four separate bedrooms and two bathrooms gives plenty of privacy and you may bunk a few extras in the lounge room.
The upper deck is accessed from the rear deck via a set of stairs which is where you will find a 5-person heated spa and entertaining area.
Cook up a storm on the Beef Eater BBQ and no need to worry about carting everything upstairs, there is crockery, cutlery and utensils all located upstairs. Together with a double sink with hot and cold running water so the clean up process is nice and easy.
Plenty of seating to relax on the upper deck, watching the cook at the BBQ, enjoying a meal together or perhaps even cheering on your favourite team on the flat screen tv on the wall above the bar fridge.
Comfortable seat for the captain at the upper helm so they can still be involved in everything going on. Built in esky to ensure you always have a “cold one” on hand.
