56 Exterior
Entrance to the 56 Motor Yacht is through a three-panel sliding door framed in stainless steel. These panels stack to port to allow for an extra-large opening between the salon and aft deck for easy maneuvering and access to fresh air on that perfect fall morning. The salon features a large sofa to port and smaller settee starboard. A 37-inch, flat-screen television is mounted under the galley countertop for easy viewing, and oversized frameless windows provide a panoramic view when the scenery is entertainment enough.
A single step up leads to the galley and country kitchen forward. The U-shaped galley features solid-surface countertops and backsplashes for a long-lasting durability and good looks. An upright refrigerator and freezer provides for expanded cold storage, while a two-burner cooktop, convection/microwave oven and stainless-steel sink make you feel at home while preparing a meal. Custom-designed cabinetry with a rich mahogany finish provides a luxurious feel and plenty of storage for your food, silverware and cookware. To port, a large circular dinette gives the feel of a country kitchen found on larger motoryachts and provides seating for six, situated just forward of the stainless-steel ladder leading to the bridge above. For those who prefer a lower helm in lieu of the country kitchen, one is available as an option.
Lower Decks
Whether entered through the aft deck hatch or optional bustle door in the transom, the heart of the 56 Motor Yacht can be found in the spacious engine room, where twin diesel engines are configured with a V-drive propulsion system that places gearboxes forward, coupled to shafts set at 10 degrees. This configuration greatly increases the space available for interior accommodations. A single athwartship fuel tank set forward of the engine room bulkhead eliminates the need for a fuel transfer system and helps distribute weight efficiently for improved performance. This fuel tank is located close to the center of buoyancy and keeps trim angle steady as fuel is consumed.
Down below, owners will enjoy a full-beam master stateroom with its tapered king-sized berth, vanity to starboard and large fixed portlights. Cedar-lined hanging lockers and twin dressers provide abundant storage for clothes and gear, and the large fuel tank -- positioned between insulated bulkheads just behind the master bunk - significantly reduces noise from the engine room so you can better enjoy the 20-inch LCD television and stereo speakers above. To port, a hinged door leads to a private head with twin sinks, solid-surface countertops and owner's choice of either a shower or full-size tub with tempered glass sliding door.
The 56 Motor Yacht features generous living areas in the bow and to port for guests, with a shared head to starboard. A spacious VIP bow stateroom features a tapered queen berth that lifts on pneumatic rams to reveal cedar-lined storage below. A cedar-lined hanging locker and cabinets to port and starboard provide additional storage. To port are twin crisscross bunks perfect for kids or crew members.
For those who prefer private quarters for their crew, an optional arrangement replaces the port twin bunks with a discreet "Euro-style" crew compartment complete with 6 feet and 6 inches of headroom, single twin bunk, hanging locker, sink and shower. Access to this compartment replaces the portside storage locker on the bow deck above.
