She has multiple entertaining areas, including a large cockpit, an expansive rear wooden deck, and an alfresco top deck. Her new refurbishment features polished wood flooring, designer furniture, and contemporary design throughout.
State of the Art is perfect for hosting events as she offers great functionality onboard. Onboard is a commercial kitchen, fibre-optic light panels, audio-visual system, and plugins for presentations, making her great for not only private social events but also corporate events.
