The spacious seating area up front is perfect for a sunset drink or to sit and strum the guitar. Lie back and relax on the two big trampolines watching the dolphins surf the bow wave and in the evening gaze up at the millions of stars.
Inside you'll find a roomy cockpit with fully equipped galley and dining area, and navigation station. All the nice-to-have extra's like a flat screen TV to watch your favourite movie, a Bose sound system and ipod to keep the music flowing, an ice maker to ensure your cocktails are always perfectly chilled and a filter coffee machine for your coffee fix (just bring your favourite ground coffee).

The cabins
Shantaram has 4 luxurious en-suite cabins, 3 of which are available for guest use. The fore cabin has a double bed, whilst the two aft cabins offer queen-sized berths with semi-island beds allowing for easy access. The master cabin boasts a flat screen TV. One of the aft cabins can be converted to twin share by means of a wooden divider on the queen bed so that it can accommodate two single guests if required. All cabins offer soft linen, and super comfy quality mattresses for a wonderful night's sleep.
Each cabin features it's own independently controlled air conditioning unit, an oscillating fan and has ample ventilation from roof hatches and side portholes. Large windows allow for plenty of natural light - and great views.
