Onboard, State of the Art has well thought out features that will leave you and your guests feeling comfortable and catered for. She is suitable for all year round due to her air conditioning throughout.
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.
