The Second Deck is a large function room, which can be set up for weddings, dancing, cocktails, or dining. The Third Deck level is an open passenger deck with the pilothouse forward.

The hull level is used for a variety of purposes, which allows for the large full length open Main Deck passenger area. Spacious passenger restrooms are located in the hull aft of the engine room. Forward of the engine room is a large 700 sq.ft. galley, and a separate storeroom, which includes a 7’x10’ walk-in freezer and an 8’x10’ walk-in cooler. An elevator is installed for moving food carts from the galley to the dining room, furnished by Concord Elevators. The large galley, elevator, and walk-in coolers are fairly unique for this size vessel.

The vessel is powered by a pair of Detroit Diesel Series 60 DDEC engines, developing 400 HP @ 1800 RPM. The engines are coupled to Twin Disc 5114 reverse/reduction gears driving five-bladed Ellis propellers. The vessel is equipped with a 100 HP Wesmar electric dual prop bowthruster.

The Second Deck features a wide sliding glass and stainless steel partition to open the interior area to the aft exterior deck to take advantage of temperate Southern California weather. This partition can be closed for bad weather, or for hot weather which could require the air conditioning to be in use.
