The saloon has comfortable seating for relaxation and dining. A small bar is available; together with DVD equipment for home viewing should the weather prove inclement for an evening stroll to the local pub.

Outside at the front, the well deck provides comfortable seating in rain or shine to watch the world go by. Additional seating is provided at the back to sit with the steerer and see journey from a totally different aspect.
