When it comes to sea travel, modern sailing and motor yachts are designed with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Unlike racing yachts, cruising yachts prioritize comfort and convenience for living on board. Let’s take a closer look at what a house called “yacht” has to offer.
Living Spaces on a Yacht
A cruising yacht provides a cozy and ergonomic home, where every meter of space is utilized to the fullest. The yacht is equipped with a living room (cabin), rooms (cabins), bathrooms with a washbasin, shower, and toilet (latrine), and a kitchen (galley). The yacht also has enough free space both inside (in the saloon) and outside (in the cockpit) for everyone to gather together. Additionally, there is a place to sunbathe (on deck) and jump into the sea, with a ladder available to easily climb back aboard.
The Wardroom: The Heart of the Yacht
Inside the yacht, rooms feature a normal ceiling height, allowing adults to stand to their full height without bending over. The wardroom, located at the central part of the yacht, serves as both a lounge and a place for general meetings and dining. It is especially cozy during bad weather when outdoor recreation is not ideal. The wardroom is designed to accommodate all crew members simultaneously with enough seating for everyone. The central part of the salon features a table, armchairs, and sofas. On smaller yachts, the wardroom can double as a bedroom for one or two crew members. The yacht is equipped with built-in lockers and lockers of various origins, sockets for connecting numerous devices and gadgets, and audio and video systems.
Galley: The Yacht’s Kitchen
The wardroom on the yacht is combined with a galley, which is the yacht’s kitchen. The galley features a gas stove, oven, refrigerator with a freezer, sink, comfortable cabinets, and shelves for groceries, crockery, and kitchen utensils. Many yachts also have microwave ovens, coffee makers, ice makers, toasters, and sometimes even a dishwasher. The yacht has a full range of kitchen utensils and utensils, including plates, cups, bowls, glasses, cutlery, pots, pans, a kettle, and other necessary utensils for cooking and serving.
Cabins: Sleeping Rooms on a Yacht
The yacht can have from one to five or six cabins, depending on its size. Cabins can be double with one large bed, bunk beds where the beds are located one above the other, or single. Cabins have small lockers, shelves, and niches for clothes and personal belongings, ceiling lighting, a small bedside, and sockets for charging.
Latrine: The Yacht’s Bathroom
The latrine on the yacht features a toilet, sink, and shower. The shower is designed to take a shower in the space between the sink and the toilet, and the faucet on the sink transforms into a shower hose with a nozzle. Many yachts have combined the small latrine with a spacious one, where there is a separate space for taking a shower, which is separated by a special partition. The yacht has hot and cold water, cabinets for toiletries, and a toilet bowl that can be either manual or electric.
Conclusion
A cruising yacht provides a comfortable and convenient living space for sea travel, equipped with all the amenities needed for a cozy stay. With a living room, kitchen, cabins, and latrine, every inch of space is utilized to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience on the water.
