With its large open cockpit, 360 degree view pilot house, galley down and private sleeping spaces below EQUINOX is a perfect platform for enjoying the coasts whether it be as a day boat or for cruising.
Furthest forward are sleeping accommodations for two in a V-berth configuration.
Next aft is the head area to port and also to port aft of the head is the galley area. Opposite the head and galley areas is a long settee that can be used as an additional berth with a large shelf above and behind the settee.
Up a couple of steps and thru the companionway brings you to the pilot house with helm station to starboard and a dinette table to port.
With windows (some opening) all around the pilot house there is plenty of light and ventilation to keep the skipper and crew comfortable either while cruising along the coast or just sitting on the mooring and watching the world go by.
The interior spaces of EQUINOX are well illuminated with well positioned reading and dome lights with natural lighting and ventilation being provided to below deck spaces by way of overhead opening hatches and opening ports in the cabin sides.
