A large wraparound sofa is on the port side of the helm seat with a comfortable Flexsteel seat with arm rests for the captain’s seat.

The finish below is all cherry wood. Sitting Duck offers three luxury private rooms. You will enter your large master stateroom through a sliding door, where you will see two lighted cedar lined closets, and access to the split washer and dryer. The bed is a queen walkaround. The storage in this stateroom is great with pullout drawers under the bed, a built-in chest of drawers with five pullout drawers and twin mirrors, and built-in cupboard in the walls. This room has its own air conditioning unit and control panel. The bathroom is opposite the bed with a sink and mirror, a separate stand-up shower/tub is to the right and the separate commode to the left, both with privacy doors.

At the bottom of the steps leading to the staterooms is the day head/guest head with a vacuflush commode and stall shower. This bathroom will lead through to the forward bow stateroom.
