Saloon
As you step through the wide, automatic stainless-steel sliding doors from the aft deck, you’re welcomed into the main salon, a space designed for openness, natural light, and effortless social flow.
Framed by panoramic windows, the salon feels more like a penthouse suite than a traditional yacht interior. A newly upholstered U-shaped settee to starboard invites casual gatherings or relaxed evenings underway, while a second settee to port expands the conversation space and makes the salon ideal for entertaining. The salon furniture—custom-designed by Evan K. Marshall—blends comfort and craftsmanship, with concealed drawers beneath the sofas that offer discreet, intelligent storage without compromising aesthetics.
An integrated entertainment center with a concealed 50” flatscreen TV, immersive audio system, and generous cabinetry adds practical luxury without disrupting the clean, modern aesthetic. Finishes throughout blend satin wood tones with subtle titanium accents, striking a balance of warmth and sophistication. Multiple conveniently located outlets throughout the salon make it easy to stay connected and powered up—whether working remotely, charging phones, or keeping tablets ready for the next passage.
The open-plan layout flows seamlessly into the galley-up design, allowing the chef to remain part of the action while enjoying expansive views ahead. With no bulkheads to interrupt the line of sight, the entire salon is bright, spacious, and socially connected.
Forward of the galley, a fully equipped lower helm station offers excellent visibility and control in all conditions. Just beyond, a forward-facing dinette and lounge create an elevated nook for dining, reading, or simply taking in the journey ahead in comfort. To port, a watertight door—accented in leather and polished stainless hardware—leads directly to the side deck and forward exterior seating, blending function and aesthetics in one seamless detail.
Access to the flybridge is via a staircase adjacent to the salon, while a forward companionway leads below to the staterooms. Underfoot, custom Amtico flooring combines durability and warmth.
Ocean Alexander wood flooring is custom-made in Kentucky with a solid wood top surface, with the same wear capacity as solid ¾’’ wood flooring. It uses 7 layers of European birch assembled in a cross-grain direction with a top layer of exotic hardwood to match the interior of the boat. (Unique Ocean Alexander Feature).
All this is complemented by soft headliners and recessed LED lighting to maintain a refined ambiance day or night.
Galley

The galley is outfitted with a full suite of premium stainless-steel appliances, including a convection oven, microwave with integrated ventilation, ultra-quiet dishwasher, plenty of power outlets, and an induction cooktop with touch controls. A double-door refrigerator with a large freezer drawer and built-in ice maker ensures reliable cold storage for longer voyages.
Additional thoughtful touches include a dedicated wine cooler, garbage disposal, and a purified drinking water system, rounding out a space that’s as functional as it is refined. Whether you’re provisioning for extended cruising or preparing a casual dinner with guests, this galley is equipped to perform at sea with the ease of a modern home kitchen.

Aft of the helm, the flybridge opens into a spacious lounge area designed for both comfort and versatility. A custom high-low teak table anchors the space, easily converting from an elegant al fresco dining setup to a broad sun pad for lounging. Just steps away, a two-stool bar invites you to sip cocktails with panoramic views—perfect for casual gatherings or sunset toasts. Overhead, a newly installed manual sun awning with marine-grade mesh and custom stainless steel support poles provides flexible shade throughout the day. The poles stow cleanly when not in use, keeping the space sleek and unobstructed. Whether you're dining under the stars or enjoying a lazy afternoon at the bar, this flybridge setup delivers the best seat in the house.

Swim Platform
The oversized hydraulic swim platform on ABOAT TIME is both a functional asset and a luxurious feature—perfect for launching tenders, personal watercraft, or simply enjoying a day at anchor close to the water. With its wide beam and robust lifting capacity, the platform easily accommodates water toys while also serving as a spacious teak beach club when deployed.

Flanking the platform are dual teak staircases that gently curve up to the aft deck, making transitions between swim and social spaces smooth and elegant. Nestled between these staircases is the watertight entry door to the engine room, allowing quick and secure access for maintenance and inspections without disrupting guest areas. Together, these features form a highly usable, beautifully integrated aft section—designed with both recreation and real-world yacht operations in mind.
