The deck saloon, which is separated by a glass door from the alfresco lounge in the aft, has interesting bulkhead stairs so that the visuals are uninterrupted from stern to stem.

The sofa and its Sony flat 46” screen pop-up LCD TV area sit separate from the eight-seated dining table which is up a step too.

There’s even a lounge alongside the port side for even better sea views. A sliding door leads you into the bathroom which has an efficient shower and also day light. “This is typical of the spaciousness of Martin Palleros both in terms of its internal layout and the visual relationship between inside and outside.” There are also three en suite guest stateroom, one traditional VIP forward cabin, one twin bedded cabin and one bunk bedded cabin.
