Ahead of this, a transverse wet bar butts up against a bank of helm seats and it\u2019s all orbited by a set of symmetrical side decks that lead forward to a second lounge in the bow.\r\n\r\nBack aft, an open transom helps connect you to the water and that connection is augmented by a drop-down hydraulic swim platform, plus a pair of folding terraces \u2013 one on either side of the central sunbed. It\u2019s clearly a sunny-weather, dayboat-centric, beach-club-style layout with ease of movement and open-air parties at its heart and in that regard, it ought to work well.\r\n\r\nBut there are some more surprising elements here too. There\u2019s a neat walkway between the split wet bar and the two pairs of helm seats that enables you to move fore and aft along a walkway at the heart of the social zone.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_139300\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"630\"]\"\" The bright port lounge looks aft to an open twin cabin[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe finer elements of detailing, like the subtle angles in the furniture and the stylish T-top that flares out above the cockpit dinette are also very pleasing. And while this is principally a day boat, it does a decent job for some relaxed weekending too.\r\n\r\nThe lower deck space is split between a forward owner\u2019s cabin and a twin guest cabin amidships. Between them, a lounge on the port side looks across to a starboard bathroom and a breakfast bar. There is only one bathroom and there are no windows, nor an access door in the mid cabin; and cooking has to be done up at the open-air wet bar, so it\u2019s by no means a genuine cruising machine. But long hull windows do a good job of brightening the lounge and the fit-out looks first-class.\r\n
