Accommodation

This Fisher 25 offers five berths in two cabins. It offers a generous headroom of approximately 6 feet, ensuring a spacious feel throughout. In the forepeak, there is a double vee berth, complete with an infill. An opening deck hatch overhead for ventilation, and natural light. 

Moving aft of the forepeak to the port side is a small heads compartment, equipped with a marine toilet and mirror. Opposite the heads to starboard is a wardrobe hanging locker, these areas are sectioned off with blue curtains and a cabin door from the saloon. 

The Saloon offers an L-shaped settee to port that converts to a double bed with lots of storage underneath. To the starboard side is the galley, consisting of a stainless-steel sink with a pressurised cold-water tap, a 2-burner gas hob and a 12-volt fridge. This area also offers storage for cooking utensils and provisions.

Located next to the galley is a quarter berth, with under berth storage. This area also converts to a chart table and storage for navigation equipment. 

The saloon companionway steps lead up to the enclosed wheelhouse which provides an excellent haven from the elements when at sea. The wheelhouse offers a single helm seat to port with engine controls and access to the navigational aids. To starboard a bench seat allows seating for two with under-seat storage. The entire floor of the wheelhouse can be removed to give full access to all areas of the engine compartment. 

Moving to the stern of the vessel the rear cockpit offers bench seating across the stern, and a tiller can be fitted to allow a greater feeling of control when under sail.
