Accommodations

The layout of Andante allows for comfort and safety.

The Master Stateroom is forward, with a private head in the peak that actually has a separate stall shower, sink, and marine head with it's own holding tank. There is large, double pullman berth to port with storage underneath, shelving alongside and a book shelf at the foot. There is a cedar lined hanging locker and shelf storage, standing vanity with custom storage cabinet beneath and cabinet above.

Next is the Main Saloon that is well lit and ventilated. There are facing settees, a table that has an extendable leaf and can fold up against the bulkhead, 6'5" headroom, and shelves behind the settees as well as storage beneath on the port side.

To starboard of the companionway is the guest/day head and to port is the galley. I love this placement, because when passage making you can come down the companionway, grab a cup of coffee, and hit the head, all without traveling the length of the boat. The nav station is aft of the galley, and the entrance to the aft cabin with large quarterberth is aft of the head to starboard. 

It's a great layout that also ventilates well when at anchor. The ports are stainless steel and the overhead hatches in Andante have always been covered, keeping the hatches in good condition.

Both heads have hot and cold showers, stainless steel sinks, marine heads with their own holding tanks, cabinets and teak framed mirrors.
