Layout and Accommodations
Vessel features three guest cabins forward and one crew quarters aft. Nice hard top over upper helm also could be used as a sleeping arrangement.
A fiberglass swim platform is molded into the hull all the way aft and stairs in both sides of the transom lead forward and up to the aft-deck from here. there is also a weather tight hatch/door in the transom that leads into the captain's quarters and to the engine-room. The teak soled aft-deck has a built-in settee with a large oblong varnished wood table pedestal mounted and two (2) occasional chairs seat six (6) persons comfortably. The aft-deck has a stairway which leads up to the fly-bridge/boat-deck and as well, has wide and safe side-decks which lead forward to the bow. One may enter the plushly carpeted Saloon from the aft-deck through sliding stainless steel/tempered glass doors. The whole of the yacht's interior was masterfully crafted using makore (African cherrywood) and burled wood inlays and accents. The interior is finished in high-gloss and the effect is classy and elegant throughout.
A very comfortable "L" shaped leather settee/sofa with lots of storage lockers built in under is to port and has a hand-built coffee table of Makore' with burled wood inlays out in front. All the way forward in the salon is a fireplace (electric) with a large new flat screen Samsung TV installed over. A wet-bar with beverage cooler, and cabinets for glassware and bottle storage is across to the starboard side with 2 leather swiveling occasional chairs just aft. A concealed stairway all the way aft on the starboard side provides interior access to the captain's stateroom, engine-room and laundry facilities.
Forward and up three (3) steps from the saloon, the fully equipped galley is to the port side. A stairway is across to the starboard side which leads up to the fly-bridge. Forward of the galley is a large dinette which easily accommodates 6 for dining and there is a wide "pass-thru" from the galley to this dinette. The pilothouse lower helm station are all the way forward, on the centerline and features two an electrically controlled Pompanette power helm chairs. Weather tight side doors on both port and starboard sides lead out to the side decks. A wide and gently sloping stairway leads forward and down from the pilothouse to a decorated foyer on the owner's and guest's accommodations deck.
The Owner's stateroom is aft on this level and features a king-size bed, head with dual sinks and a huge stall shower. This stateroom spans the full width of the hull's beam measurement and has great amounts of storage for clothing in three (3) cedar-lined large hanging lockers, a large chest of drawers and in large, deep drawers built in underneath the bed. Side-tables and lamps are built-in on either side of the mirrored headboard. There is also a desk/vanity with high backed chair in this stateroom. Forward of the master's stateroom and outboard of the companionway to portside is a Guest's stateroom featuring over/under single bunk berths. This stateroom has a hanging locker, dual reading lamps, drawers for clothing storage, flat screen TV and a private entrance to the guest's/day head complete with stall shower. Forward of the shared guest's head is the VIP guest stateroom with queen bed, reading lamps, flat-screen and DVD BlueRay player with private en-suite head with shower and cedar-lined hanging lockers and plenty of drawers for clothing storage. The Crews private stateroom is all the way aft in the vessel and separated from the owner's/guest's staterooms. Access is from a starboard side aft stairway that leads to the engine room and utility area. It features the captain's stateroom area with a good size single berth, TV, hanging locker and drawers for clothing storage. The crew area benefits from a split head arrangement with head on the port side aft and separate shower stall on the starboard. Access is also possible from the swim platform stern transom door. The 110V clothing washer and 220V dryer are also in this area as is access to the walk-in engine room.
The Upper helm area maybe accessed either via a gently sloping stairway leading up from the pilothouse or from the staircase up from the aft-deck. All the way forward on this deck and offset to port slightly is the upper helm station a Lebroc helmsmans seat with bench seating for three (3) companions. An "L" shaped dinette that accommodates six (6) for dining follow aft of the helm and has a wet bar with refrigerator/ice maker built in across to the starboard side. Following aft are two (2) wide cushioned lounges with adjustable backrests and aftermost is the RIB Tender with davit hoist. The fly-bridge on the 680 pilothouse model is a large area and perfectly well-suited for entertaining. Of note this benefits from climate controlled air-conditioning or heat. It has its dedicated unit. Its a great deck and area for relaxing and for those who like to entertain outside. A hard-top has brand new Stamoid canvas with EZ2CY full window enclosures with custom sliding track curtains which encloses the entire upper helm area from the lounges to just forward of the helm station.
The foredeck features a cushioned sunning/lounging pad with drink holders and a cocktail table.
