2021 Filippetti 55' _{(16.76 m)} 55S

Layout and Accommodations

3 Staterooms/ 2 Bath with a Galley down arrangement

Entering the full beam glass doors, note that this door system is designed to hydraulically drop down thru the deck to open up the salon to the cockpit thus providing an open and airy environment.  Note the abundance of windows throughout the entire salon and cabin areas. 

The entire interior features lovely contemporary light oak cabinetry and flooring – all of the highest quality. The staterooms are all carpeted in a cream low pile. 

All hardware including faucets, shower hardware, light switches, door handles and pulls are top shelf polished stainless steel.

Salon seating with a folding teak table (hi/lo with a cushion insert to make a berth) is to port with helm seating for two to starboard. The helm chairs and the dash areas are covered in bold stitched black leather. To port is a hinged ‘cubby’ area for casual storage. The dash is paneled with black carbon fiber.  

Forward and down center stairs is a spacious galley featuring a long countertop with a molded-in sink, a full-sized refrigerator and a clever folding table and two seats for casual seating. 

To starboard and aft of the galley is a twin bunk stateroom. 

A full-beam master stateroom is further aft featuring a centerline king-sized bed. A settee for two is off to the starboard window. Full sized, mirrored wardrobes are port and starboard with a full set of drawers along the port hull. A bath with a full-sized stall shower is to port and forward.

Forward of the galley is a full-beam VIP stateroom. Mirrored wardrobes are to port and starboard. Abundantly lit with overhead skylights and side windows. 

The VIP and bunk stateroom share a bath to port of the galley with a full-sized shower stall. 

Port and starboard salon windows raise and lower electrically.
