LET'S LOOK INSIDE ...

When you come down the companionway and into the cabin, you'll immediately notice that there's heaps of headroom, a fantastic 270 degree view and amazing light. This is because of the raised deck salon and the stainless steel framed safety glass windows.

The layout is easy at sea and wonderful for entertaining. KAMAYA was launched in 1987 when the finest woods were plentiful and available. The workmanship is extraordinary with beautiful fit and finish, matched grains, and wood inlays. Notice the wood inlay table that folds out and can be raised or lowered. This is a perfect place to relax for a game of cribbage or sit down to a gourmet dinner. Surrounded by the pilothouse, you and your guests will have great visibility in a light, airy salon. As well as having hatches, this vessel is reported to be the only Stevens 50 with opening ports amidships for excellent cross ventilation.

THE GALLEY

The GALLEY amidship keeps the cook happy. Cooking in the boat's center of effort makes meal preparation a pleasure at sea or in port. Notice the triple sinks! Each sink has H/C pressure water and separate manual pumps for sea water or fresh water needs. There is a four burner gimbaled propane stove and oven, and a microwave to warm up snacks or boil a quick cup of tea. You'll find generous stowage in cabinets and lockers for all your galley needs.




On the starboard side of the galley, you'll see the forward facing freezer/refrigeration which gives you easy access and prevents spillage of contents when at sea. The freezer is HUGE for a yacht of this size and can store enough meats to last a crew for months. The two VECO 12 Volt DC refrigeration units are efficient and the well insulated boxes hold their temperature well in even the warmest climates.

NOW LET'S GO AFT ... Here, you'll find the owner's stateroom with awesome accommodations and generous space because of the bridge deck above .

The AFT STATEROOM has it's own special nook where you can read and write in privacy. There's a pull-down desk and a work light meeting all your personal needs. At the end of your watch or a day "messing about in boats", this cabin is an awesome space to retire.


Roomy and comfortable, there is a double berth to port and settee to starboard. The opening hatches and ports offer excellent cross ventilation and easy access to the crew standing watch. There is a head with electric toilet, and shower roomy enough for full size adults! Multiple drawers, hanging lockers, shelves and cabinetry provides plentiful stowage for cruising sailors.











TOWARDS THE BOW ...

The VIP STATEROOM in the V-Berth, has a generous double berth, excellent headroom and private access to the second head. This space gives your sailing companions a comfortable cabin to retire at the end of the day. The hanging locker and drawers provide considerable stowage for personal gear and clothing items. Overhead is a full size hatch with ladder for ventilation and easy access. The dorades, vents, and cabin fan provide additional fresh air circulation. You'll notice that the joinery work is exceptional and the woods used are beautiful with matching grains and wonderful detail.

ON THE PORT SIDE ...

The CABIN on the port side of the boat has over and under bunks with generous length, ideal for guests and/or children. There is a hanging locker, cabinets and drawers for stowage of personal items, clothing and gear and a deck hatch and fan for ventilation.

OUT ON DECK

The extremely large cockpit is the envy of many boats. This is the control center while under sail or power. The Edson Pedestal steering is aft with a full view of the vessel and sails including electronics and engine instruments. The port and starboard seating is great for entertaining or enjoying the thrill of sailing this performance cruiser. The multiple winches simplify control of headsails and staysails. Whether out for an afternoon sail, or a long passage, KAMAYA is very manageable short-handed and thrilling to sail.

The large bimini covers the entire cockpit and serves as sun protection and support for the solar panel array. It was stoutly designed and both bimini and dodger have remained stable in sustained winds of 55 mph. The custom Arch provides support for electronics and the dingy davits. The bridge deck makes the cockpit HUGE and easily accommodates eight (8) guests or sleeps three (3) on those balmy nights in the tropics. When you need a rinse - there is a (H/C) cockpit shower.

The transom has a special outboard motor bracket so you can power the boat with your outboard motor in case of emergency.
