Three distinct outdoor living zones

The walk-around deck layout reveals three differentiated zones. At the stern, the huge sundeck faces out to sea and includes a cockpit bench with table and central ice bucket. This large outdoor dining area, shaded from the sun by the roof cap, can accommodate up to 10 people.

Versatile space under the hardtop

Inside, under the hard-top is a multi-purpose dining area, with a dining and sitting area. This space can be fully glazed to keep out the heat with air conditioning, or open thanks to large side windows and sliding rear doors. A variety of customization options are available to owners.

A kitchen positioned at an intermediate level

The interior layout allows the D60 to offer a galley at an intermediate level between the main deck and the cabins. This space can be independent or fully integrated into the interior thanks to sliding doors and specific accesses.

Two or three cabins for the sleeping area

In the cabin area, a ceiling-free passageway creates a central space that gives access to a generously-sized suite with sofa, desk, bathroom with separate shower and dressing room. The central corridor also serves the forward cabins, which can be configured according to the owner's wishes. These can be two separate cabins or one large cabin, offering comfortable, modular space. Next to the forward cabins is a courtesy bathroom that doubles as a guest bathroom. With independent access from the bow, there's a crew cabin with two berths and its own bathroom.
