Ocean Horse has an interior configuration ideal for Cruising and for Charter, featuring a separation between the owner/guest area (forward) and the crew mess (aft). The access below deck is gained either through the aft or the guest cockpit companion-ways. The stairway of the latter leads to the saloon which makes use of the full beam of the yacht. This area accommodates an 8/10 dining table, a comfortable conversation area and luxury accessories including a refrigerator, an icemaker and a wine cooler. Ocean Horse ’s interior follows Southern Wind Shipyard’s most popular layout, with the owner’s cabin forward: although it is the narrowest area on the boat, it still has abundant room for two separate bunks (one double and one single bunk), storage spaces and an ensuite bathroom. This cabin layout allows privacy and comfort also when sailing. The same attention for privacy and comfort that are used in the master cabin are found throughout the entire yacht. The layout of Ocean Horse includes two guest cabins amidships: a twin cabin with additional Pullman bunk and a double bunk cabin; they both enjoy an en-suite head. All guest cabins are conceived for functionality and the furniture is built in sturdy yet lightweight honeycomb sandwich veneered with natural teak. The direct access to sailing cockpit from the crew quarters, is granted through the aft companion-way. Here the functional galley and the nav station are linked to a pair of crew cabins with shared head forward, so that the crew and the galley area are effectively separated from the owner’s party. The engine room access is conveniently located in the corridor which leads to the crew quarters.
