Aft Deck & Cockpit

Where the boat opens up.

The aft deck can transform from a defined space into part of a larger living environment. Sliding galley doors disappear almost entirely from view, seamlessly connecting the saloon and cockpit into one expansive social space. Like the on-deck owner’s suite, the space can adapt to the moment, while the suite’s independent entrance remains fully accessible regardless of the saloon door position.

A place for every moment

Where comfort meets control

The twin aft helms place key sailing controls at the operator’s fingertips, delivering a more direct, engaging connection to the boat and the conditions around it. From either helm, the smart glass can be instantly cleared to provide unobstructed visibility, ensuring safety and 360-degree sight lines from anywhere on deck level.

Adventure without compromise

Featuring a hot and cold shower with an Elna shower pole, creating a practical transition space between life on the water and life aboard. Integrated within the aft deck storage, a dedicated Scanstrut inflation system allows wing sails, paddle boards, and other recreational equipment to be quickly inflated and deflated for effortless deployment and stowage.
