47' 1997 Caliber 47LRC

Accommodation

Two private staterooms each feature an ensuite head with a separate enclosed shower stall, Plexiglas doors, and built-in shower seating. The forward shower has been converted to a shelved storage area but can easily be returned to full service. The aft master cabin offers a queen-size island berth, dual cedar-lined hanging lockers, two dressers, and multiple overhead hatches and ports that provide excellent light and ventilation. The forward Pullman-style berth includes extensive storage with drawers beneath, lockers above and below the vanity, and additional shelving throughout.

Each head is designed with a spacious WC and basin area, generous locker storage, and premium marine plumbing using solid PVC piping to minimize odors. The aft head also serves as a ventilated walk-in wet locker, ideal for foul weather gear and boots, with a quick and easy conversion back to shower use. The main salon features a fold-away bulkhead-mounted teak dining table with an integrated wine and magazine rack, while the galley is designed for liveaboard comfort and gourmet cooking with a 10-foot-long countertop and dual aft passageways to prevent foot traffic interference with the cook.

The galley is equipped with a three-burner LPG stove with oven, built-in microwave, dual refrigeration including a 4.3 cu. ft. dual-loading refrigerator and a 3.5 cu. ft. top-loading freezer with heavy insulation, plus a large double sink and extensive locker and drawer storage throughout. High-efficiency insulation and premium two-part foam fill maximize cooling performance. A handcrafted teak interior with solid joinery, teak-and-holly sole, and soft headliner adds warmth and elegance, complemented by 26 opening ports, hatches, and deck cowls for excellent cross-ventilation throughout all cabins. A dedicated forward-facing navigation station includes a chart table, storage, and electronics mounting panels, and a dedicated engine room—separate from the living quarters—provides improved noise isolation and additional interior storage.
