Saloon

• The saloon has two settees, port and starboard. The wooden table folds up against the wall to conceal a liquor cabinet. Yes, the liquor goes with the boat! If you don’t want it, the broker will most certainly take care of that for you, it’s all part of the fine service that Calibre Yachts provides. The table folds down and unhinges to create a wide table that could accommodate 4 comfortably and 6 in a squeeze.
• Both settees fold down into double berths.
• The new Dickenson propane heater shows a flame when lit. It’s just beautiful on a cold winter night at anchor…
• Of course, there is storage behind and under the settees, in the sole, above the settees, just everywhere!

Quarter Berth (sorta…)

• To create a comfortable seat for the navigation table, a swinging backrest was built in, thus dividing the quarter berth into a seat for the nav table, and behind the backrest is the “garage.” There is no foam, but it could easily be converted back to a berth. That said, everyone loves a garage! Your call.
