The Layout
There are three cabins (bedrooms) and three heads (bathrooms). Brandon and Ashley have the starboard hull to themselves, which includes an office and laundry area.
Gabriel has the port forward cabin, and Isaiah and Abel share the port aft cabin.
The galley (kitchen) is a little cramped at times, but there’s plenty of room for our family of five to lounge around on the setee (couch) in the salon (living room). There’s also a ton of room outside, including a large cockpit (outdoor living/dining area) and the kids’ favorite place – a huge trampoline on the front of the boat.
