The galley is fully equipped with 2 refrigerators (125L + 80L), a freezer, oven, microwave, dishwasher (2021), and Kenwood washing machine (2021).
Autonomy and Technical Equipment
Autonomy is ensured by generous capacities: 800L of freshwater complemented by a 60L/h Dessalator desalination system, and 400L of fuel.
