The large pilothouse, originally designed for inclement weather, has quickly become the center of activity aboard Cabochon. It is light and airy with excellent visibility all around. To port is a U-shaped settee and teak table that seats six, great for informal meals, cocktails or just planning the day’s activities. To starboard and forward is the navigation area with throttle and autopilot control, complete with all electronics, nav table and helmsman’s seat. Aft of the nav area is a wet bar and coffee machine.

Entered from the pilothouse down full-sized easy-access stairs and hallway, the master stateroom aft has 1 king and 1 queen sized berth, port and starboard, a makeup area, two cedar-lined hanging lockers, plenty of storage space and his and hers bathrooms. Port head features a bathtub while the starboard head features an enclosed shower. Opening portholes for ventilation and deck prisms for additional natural light. LCD TV with HD satellite and Sonos system. Aft, a centerline vestibule leads to a private aft cockpit.

Forward of the master stateroom and separated by a passageway are two guest staterooms, each with en-suite head and stall shower. Both guest staterooms have two twin beds, plus fold-away Pullman berths for children. Both cabins have fillers for the twin beds which convert them to single queens. Both cabins have cedar-lined hanging lockers, plenty of storage space, two opening portholes for ventilation and deck prisms for additional natural light.

The full-beam salon is open to the pilothouse salon, so that the pilothouse windows reach over 50 percent of the salon. Two hatches provide abundant natural light in the salon. To starboard there is a dining area for eight. To port is an L-shaped couch with coffee table and a 40” LCD TV with HD satellite, DVD and Sonos system. In addition to ample dry storage, there is a built-in wine rack, refrigerator and ice maker.

Forward of the main salon, a sliding teak door, as well as a watertight MCA door, lead to a large, U-shaped galley and crew mess. The fully-equipped galley has a large hatch for light and/or fresh air while at anchor, so the running of AC is often an elective. There are multiple freezer compartments to support “around-the-world” adventuring.

Two double crew cabins are located forward of the galley. Each cabin has its own sink and toilet and shares a centrally located shower. The crew mess is equipped with its own entertainment center, including LCD TV with HD satellite and Sonos system. The Miele washer and dryer are located beside the crew mess for easy access.
