Test / Gozzo 48 Cabin deck layout and fittings

© Bluepassion

The Gozzo 48 Cabin is all about space and modularity. Its cockpit, enclosed wheelhouse and interior saloon flow seamlessly into one another, while the bow and below-deck spaces offer a level of comfort rare for a boat in this class.

As on all gozzos, access is via a large bathing platform, followed by an elegant stern gate.

The stern of the boat is designed as a veritable terrace overlooking the sea. It features a wide bench seat and a modular central table. It can be lowered to become an extension of the aft sundeck, or disappear completely into the floor on the motorized version.

This layout illustrates Apreamare's philosophy of offering spaces that are just as suitable for family meals as they are for lounging at anchor.

An integrated glass wheelhouse

The wheelhouse, a major new feature of this Cabin version, provides a natural transition between exterior and interior. Large windows provide light and panoramic visibility, creating a seamless link between cockpit and saloon.

To starboard, the helm station features an electrically adjustable seat that can be integrated into the sofa, transforming the area into a lounge when the boat is at anchor. This modularity provides a rare degree of flexibility on a 15-meter yacht.

Inside, the large saloon table comfortably seats six guests. Next door, the 2.80 m kitchen, with its generous work surface and full range of appliances, is one of the largest in its size category.

The layout reflects the Mediterranean taste for convivial meals and underlines the importance placed on comfortable living on board. The finishes, combining wood, leather and refined textiles, reflect the shipyard's excellence in craftsmanship.

Modular cabins

Below deck, the Gozzo 48 Cabin can be configured with two or three cabins. The two-cabin version features a forward master and a large guest cabin, each with its own en-suite shower room.

The 3-cabin version optimizes space to accommodate a third bedroom, ideal for families. As an option, an independent crew cabin, accessible from the cockpit, can be integrated, further enhancing the appeal for owners accustomed to extended cruising.

A huge front beach

After navigating the super-safe gangways, with a high freeboard topped by a handsome handrail, we arrive at the foredeck, which is sure to be the area most coveted by passengers.

Three people can comfortably sit in front of the wheelhouse, while a beautiful bench seat precedes this lounging area. At the forepeak, two beautifully crafted seats face the bench, providing a lovely space for a moment of relaxation at the end of the day.

Note that when sailing, the handrail is a little short to return to the aft cockpit, and the cabin pillar lacks a handle.

The level of finish is nevertheless excellent, with well-crafted teak and high-quality deck fittings.
