Quick Walkthrough
Pacific Blue is boarded from the rear deck, framed by the gleaming stainless steel handrails, entering directly into the large lounge/dining room area. Pacific Blue immediately gives you that “wow” impression.
Walking through the lounge room to the full kitchen, marvel at the solid granite benchtops, generous bench space, 4-burner gas stove, electric oven and grill, together with the luxury of a dishwasher, microwave…. and look, twin 220 litre fridges!
With four separate queen bedrooms and two bathrooms, there is plenty of room for privacy without imposing upon the living area.
The upper deck is accessed via the stairs at the rear of the boat. Upstairs you will find sun lounges, BBQ and entertaining area and of course the only 6 person heated spa on the Tweed River!
The cooking facilites include a hooded BBQ, hot and cold running water and a fridge! Don’t forget to top up the esky with ice and kick back with a cold one as you cook up a storm surrounded by the views of the Tweed Valley!
