GREATER INTERIOR VOLUME
The Jon Overing hull design provides significantly greater interior volume compared to typical vessels in this market sector. This allows for the creation of a completely new and unique general arrangement.
Due to this design element, the DAUNTLESS D85 yacht has an impressive four stateroom layout with ensuite baths and separate crew quarters with ensuite bath, with separate laundry facilities and provisions compartment.
These features are typically found on much larger yachts and greatly enhance the practicality and comfort of long distance cruising, especially when accompanied by a number of guests.
EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE MASTER STATEROOM
The DAUNTLESS D85 yacht has a full-beam master stateroom, several feet longer than the D75 with accompanied full-beam bathroom. Complementing the king-size bed are built-in dressers to port and couch to starboard. Forward to port is a large, double-door, cedar-lined closet. The his and hers bathroom is divided by a large glass and marble shower with separate toilets and marble topped vanities.

THREE LUXURIOUS GUEST STATEROOMS
The luxury yacht D85 has three spacious guest staterooms, a queen VIP, standard queen and a twin berth. Each stateroom has an ensuite bath and cedar-lined closet. More space has been added in all three staterooms on the D85 with the largest increase in the VIP. In addition to the obvious gains, the large VIP is ideal for chartering when two couples are seeking comparable stateroom accommodations.
