Accommodations
The accommodations on Far Far Away aremuch larger than you would expect to find on a vessel of this size.
The interior is done in a golden light Anigre wood with dark wood trim and brushed stainless steel accent. The floor is in wood done in a square pattern. The effect is to give you a modern light interior which still retains a classic warmth. The large windows found throughout the boat bring the outside views to the guests while they enjoy the comfort of theinterior.
Entering the main deck house through the automatic sliding aft deck stainless steel door there is a spacious lounge with seating to port and pop up TV to starboard. Next forward is a large dining area with extensive storage and a large dining table that comfortably seats 10 guests. The entrance to the galley is to port. You first enter a pantry that is fitted out with a large Euro cave wine cooler. There is an under counter milk fridge, drawers, cabinets and a granite topped counter with an espresso coffee station. There is a second door to enter the galley that prevents noise from the galley reaching the dining area.
Entering the galley to port you come to a separate and fully equipped stewardess station. She has her own double sink with disposal, Bosch dish washer, toaster oven and trash. There is extensive drawer and cabinet storage. The Ushaped counter is covered in granite which creates a large counter space for plating and working. There is a monitor that can display all cameras and ship's information facing the large crew settee with table to port forward. To starboard is a large chef's area with an 8 burner Bosch glass cook top, triple sink with disposal, 2 Bosch fridge/freezers, two Bosch ovens and a Bosch microwave. There are two large windows to port and starboard that create a bright workingarea.
There is a direct entrance to the galley from the port side deck with a grate with drain just inside the door and just aft of the door are the crew stairs up to the captain's cabin and wheelhouse. These stairs, combined with the crew access corridor on the lower deck, allow the crew to move around Far Far Away without intruding in guest areas. This level of crew separation is something that is not normally found on a vessel of this size.
To starboard forward from the saloon is the foyer, where one of 3 day heads is located. There are guest stairs leading up to the skylounge and down to the guest accommodations deck. Forward on the main deck in front of the boat deck are two identical crew cabins with two upper and lower bunks with ensuite heads. Between them is a crew lounge with settee, desk and TV. Stairs lead down to the laundry and access to the lower guest area.
Located on the lower deck is the Master stateroom, two VIP queen staterooms, four full size twin staterooms, each with full bathroom facilities en-suite, laundry and extra refrigerator and freezer space. The full beam 26', master stateroom is in the center of the vessel for maximum comfort and forward of the engine room so there are no shafts or propellers in the area. The master is separated from the engine room by double bulkheads that create fuel tanks and the master head. This stateroom is much larger than you would expect to find on most vessels of this size. The master has a king size bed, two matching walk-in closets with built in drawers, shoe storage and hanging space. There are also two additional large hanging lockers. One of the closets holds the digital safe. On the port side is a settee and to starboard is deck/dressing table. The his and her head is aft with large central shower. The head is done in Brazilian granite with stainless details. The his and her toilets are separated from the main head area and both have a bidet. Next forward are the two identical VIP staterooms with queen beds with drawers under, desk and a large hanging locker with built in drawers, TV and sound system. The digital safe is located in the closet. There are also drawers under the bed and a large head with shower all done in granite. Forward of the VIP staterooms are the four newly incorporated twin berth cabins, each with full size twin beds with drawers under the beds, hanging locker with built in drawers, a digital safe and a head with toilet, bidet and shower all done in granite. In the companionway between the twin cabins are 4 large drawers, two on each side for linen storage.
Next forward is the crew service corridor that leads to the large laundry with twin full size washers and twin dryers. There is also additional refrigeration and freezers. There is extensive storage in this area with storage under the floor, in closets and cabinets and a large linen closet. There is also a luggage storage cabinet accessed from the stairs leading up to the forward crew’squarters.
