SAPPHIRE

Walkthrough

Stepping aboard SAPPHIRE from a floating dock is easy, on to her integral swim platform and up five non-skid steps to the beautiful teak deck aft deck. (When needed, boarding steps are stowed neatly in a side storage locker just in case). The aft deck has both built-in and loose seating around a teak table. Slim full walk-around side decks are accessed from this area.

Access to the main salon is through a three-panel, stainless steel–trimmed glass door with a sliding center section. The spacious salon, illuminated by six large side windows, offers a bright and elegant ambiance.

Immediately to starboard is a built-in end table and a custom four cushion sofa with storage below. A Zebra wood coffee table lies in front. To port is, the salon’s TV and two swivel barrel chairs with a table and lamp in between. Indoor access to the crew and engine room is nestled behind the AV center.

Next forward is a round teak table with up to six dining chairs. Glass and dining storage is forward in several cabinets. To starboard is a Zebra wood hutch cabinet with storage and drawers within.

Next to starboard is the yacht’s day head. Going forward and up one step and behind a pocket door is the galley equipped with full size appliances, foredeck access doors, a generous dinette and steps up to the flybridge and down to the guest accommodations.

The lower companionway has nine teak steps to starboard leading to a centerline companionway with a hidden laundry center, VIP forward, mid queen VIP, starboard side upper/lower cabin and the full-beam king primary suite features dual ensuite heads with a shared shower aft.

The Flybridge is nine steps up from the galley, is ¾ hard enclosed with retractable sunroof, fully air conditioned with a bar, seating, dining and access to the lounge / boat deck. The aft crew area has a double berth with a single upper berth, a second laundry center, a very large head, full size chest freezer, engine room access forward and a transom door to access the swim platform.

Salon

Entered via a centerline sliding glass door aft or from the centerline pocket door forward the salon is both comfortable and inviting. Equally suited for a dinner party or a relaxing day on the water, the finishes are decidedly high end and in Bristol condition.

The entire boat was recently fully carpeted plus has a tan Sunbrella carpet runner as needed. Most surfaces have protective covers for when the owner is not aboard to keep SAPPHIRE in great condition. The interior woodwork is a high gloss African mahogany. The wood window blinds have a satin finish and a matching mock Roman shade at the top. Above, cool air is delivered from a full-length fluted ventilation system.

Immediately to starboard upon entry is a bult-in end table with table lamp. Next forward is a custom designed four cushion sofa with massive hidden storage below. Lying in front is a Zebra wood and glass coffee table.

To port is the salon’s 49” Sony Bravia TV angled so everyone can see perfectly. A full surround sound system with hidden sub-woofer adds to the enjoyment. Just forward are two upholstered swivel barrel chairs with a table and lamp in between.  Outboard under the side house windows are six mahogany storage cabinets with felt lined fitted storage for a full complement of stem and bar ware. Aft from this area are the internal steps to the crew and engine room area.

Next forward is a 60" round teak wood table with moveable wooden base. Four low back chairs surround the table. (2 extra loose chairs in the saloon are to be used to make 6 for dinner) Forward of the table are two glass door cabinets with clear shelves to display. They frame an art niche, lit from above. Below are four mahogany cabinets for additional storage. To starboard is a Zebra wood two door storage cabinet with five drawers and six shelves within to store everything needed for a formal dinner aboard.

Overhead are Boston Acoustics speakers and 40+ LED ceiling lights arranged in specific areas and lit with a Lutron “scene” type lighting selector. Also in the salon there are the digital AC controls and a CO detector.

Entertainment Electronics

The A/V closet is outboard in the crew stairs, just off the salon. A professional rack system consists of:

• Onkyo AV receiver TXSR373
• Denon multizone AV surround receiver AVR-1908
• Xantech eight zone/eight source audio/video controller amplifier   Samson Power Servo 120a
• Panasonic Blu-ray player located behind the salon TV

Day Head

The Day Head is forward of the salon to starboard just after the pocket door that can be used to close off the salon. The vanity has a granite countertop with two storage drawers below. An undermount Kohler sink with a single lever chrome faucet is above. The sole is granite tiles with contrasting light diamonds in the corners. The toilet is a Headhunter push button model. Above the toilet is an oval fixed port light with Roman shades. The bulkheads have an attractive embossed neutral light wall covering and the area above the sink is mirrored with a small medicine cabinet and a mirror overhead.
