The new cockpit table on stainless steel feet included a 39L drawer fridge hidden under the table tops. The aft central seat flips by 180° to offer an additional seat around the table. Helm station is equipped with an elegant and functional pod console which uses all navigation equipment and optional electronic engine remote.
