Inside
The glow of filtered light on mahogany paneling sets the mood to one of relaxation. Picture windows offer panoramic views from spacious common areas - Forward viewing lounge, Main Salon & separate Dining Room. There is plenty of room to gather as a group but you can always find a quiet space to read or catch up on your journal. --------------
On Deck
Discovery’s open bow is a popular place to sit and an ideal stage for wildlife viewing. Wide, covered side decks provide shelter from weather and allow uninterrupted access all round. The Fantail (like a sun room, aft) provides additional seating. --------------
Staterooms
The yacht has 6 nicely appointed staterooms with opening portholes, vanity/sink (except in single cabin) and space to store your belongings. Three heads and showers are shared, a furnace heating keeps the boat warm and power is switched to battery at overnight so we all get a good nights sleep. --------------
