AMANTE is a true pilothouse layout with side access doors on both sides of the helm station and a full Portuguese Bridge forward. On the foredeck the ground tackle is easily managed here or from the helm. This ground tackle has been carefully thought out and over engineered, when properly deployed – an easy night’s sleep will be your reward! Up a short ladder from the Boat Deck to the Flybridge, you will !nd a full helm station with engine controls, engine instrumentation, electronics and port and starboard wing stations to make docking easily accomplished from either side of the boat. There are (2) pedestal helm chairs in addition to a settee with storage below. Back down to the pilothouse, most operation of the of the vessel underway is done from the raised helm seats (comfy for those long runs and overnight passages) with easy to read instruments, well placed engine and thruster controls, complete and ergonomically placed electronics. The pilothouse also features an “L” shaped raised seating area to starboard with table and a single “watch-berth” behind. There is a desk/workspace area to port and storage here for navigation gear. To complete the “cruising in style” theme is a fridge for cold drinks and a co”ee bar locker for hot drinks underway.

Down seven easy steps from the Pilothouse to the main level of the boat. Entering the main deck from the cockpit you !nd yourself in a “near” full beam salon that easily seats 10 to 12 guests or family or could easily do “drinks and nibbles” for 20. To port is a large 5 seater sofa with a beautiful raised teak table for meals, drinks or board games. To starboard is another large seating area that features a custom sofa for 5 and two occasional chairs. The entire salon is !nished in a warm teak with contrasting colours and touches that draw you in to the comfort and relaxation this space o”ers. All new “soft goods” and carpet throughout in 2017. There is a custom entertainment system, large screen TV (installed for easy viewing anywhere in the salon) and LED lighting throughout. This salon size is hard to !nd in 75-80 foot vessels. There is a three-seat breakfast bar that divides the salon from the galley and provides a casual space for occasional meals, snacks for the kids or a great position to share the Galley area with the cook. Forward, past the breakfast bar to starboard is a true “Chef’s galley”. “Starry Night” Quartz countertops ad an element of elegance and practicality to the Galley. Quartz tops are more durable and are scratch and scorch proof, so the average kitchen spill will not harm the surface. Full size “house” refrigerator, full size “house” stove and oven, dishwasher, trash compactor and co”ee machine. Nothing is missing from this galley and nothing to upgrade. To port of the Galley is a large bar area forward with glass and bottle storage, access to the lower cabin area is also to port. The stateroom located on the main deck is forward and to starboard and features a twin bed arrangement with ensuite head compartment, electric head, stall shower, sink, vanity and excellent storage. Continuing forward there is a passageway to port that is completely dedicated to pantry style storage providing the space that can keep you underway for months at a time. All the way forward on the main level is the Equipment room including a full stand up workbench and stair access to the engine room below. The engine room is a testament to excellence in design and systems engineering derived from Delta Marine’s commercial marine experience.

The Master stateroom and third stateroom are located one level down and accessed via a stairway opposite the galley. The Master features a Queen size walk around bed, large built in settee, sumptuous fabrics and !nishes. Here there is a queen size, walk-around bunk situated in the middle of the compartment. To starboard is a lounge/settee with bookshelves and special reading lights, to port is the large head/shower compartment. Hidden in the forward bulkhead is the Master’s entertainment center. W/ TV and Nakamichi sound equipment. There is abundant gear storage in both hanging lockers and drawers. Easy to be away on this boat for several months or years. The 2nd stateroom on this level also features and Queen berth, ensuite head with shower compartment and abundant clothes and gear storage.
