The interior living space is surprisingly spacious. We have full central heating on board so passengers should always be cosy even in the coldest of winters and further electric heating is also available throughout the boatel if required. Any level of catering can be accomplished in the superbly equipped black gloss galley kitchen. The two beautifully dressed double cabins are compact but offer the ultimate in luxury and comfort. Please bear in mind that living on board any vessel is unlike being land bound in a flat or apartment. Floor space is tight within the cabin areas so our advice would be to travel light and avoid hard case luggage for storage purposes. There is no floor space within the cabins for a cot but we have a portable cot available which can be set up in the lounge and used in conjunction with our baby monitor. Recessed child sized bunk beds are located in the stern measuring 2' 6" x 5' 4" (suitable for 10 years and under). There is a double sofa bed in the lounge to can accommodate larger groups.
