The suite also features a private, centrally aligned bathroom with shower, sink, and heads. The shower is located in the midline of the boat, offering 6 foot 6 inches of headroom for space that is only to be expected on a much larger boat.

A spacious sundeck and a wide swim platform make the boat feel even more luxurious, not to mention the additional options of a cooler and a bottle holder.
