Step into the expansive saloon through dual weathertight aluminum doors, which feature a retractable screen to bridge the gap between the interior and the teak aft deck. The starboard side is anchored by a generous U-shaped settee with hidden storage and a versatile cherry hi-lo table—sturdily secured for offshore travel and capable of seating eight for dinner.
To port, a pair of reclining chairs offers a quiet retreat near the forward bookcase and bar. The space is exceptionally bright, featuring five large opening windows with custom valances that provide superb cross-ventilation. For quiet evenings, a 48" Samsung UHD Smart TV rises on a lift behind the settee, complemented by Apple TV and a Blu-ray player.
Located forward on the starboard side, the galley seamlessly integrates with the saloon while remaining distinct, separated by a custom granite counter and backsplash. This 52' boasts a more open feel than any in its class; by removing traditional overhead cabinetry, the line of sight is completely unobstructed. Storage capacity is increased through a clever redesign. Four Sub-Zero drawer units replace bulky upright units, creating deep drop-down storage and additional preparation surfaces.
To port, a massive cabinetry suite offers a comprehensive pantry, drawers, and a dedicated buffet counter. A welded aluminum Dutch door provides direct access to the side deck for easy provisioning, all set against beautiful, warm cherry and ash flooring.

The forward master stateroom is a bright, tranquil retreat centered around a custom island king berth. Six points of ventilation—four large stainless-steel opening portlights and two overhead hatches with Oceanair Skyscreens—ensure the space feels expansive and airy. For added comfort, dual fans provide a gentle breeze.
Storage is exceptionally well planned, featuring deep drawers beneath the berth and a cavernous area accessed via a pneumatic mattress lift. The suite is completed by two deep hanging lockers and a seven-drawer dresser beautifully accented with custom LED lighting.
The private ensuite head, located aft to port of the master stateroom, is an excellent example of functionality aboard. It features a spacious stall shower with a glass door and integrated molded seat, complemented by a granite-topped vanity with premium Grohe fixtures.
The space is equipped with a full-size Dometic porcelain freshwater toilet and ample storage, including two mirrored medicine cabinets and a dedicated linen locker. Two large opening stainless-steel portlights—one above the vanity and one in the shower—ensure the room is always bathed in natural light and perfectly ventilated.
Located to starboard and aft of the master, the guest stateroom features a rare, custom walk-around queen bed. This thoughtful layout is ideal for hosting guests or serving as a preferred midships berth for the owners during heavier sea states. The room is exceptionally functional, offering large drawers beneath the bed and additional cavernous storage accessed via a pneumatic lift. Two oversized opening portlights flood the space with natural light and provide excellent ventilation, making this cabin feel as inviting as a master stateroom.
