The yacht’s interior also maintains a clean, almost space-age aesthetic and is replete with shiny white surfaces offset by carbon-fiber accents. Entering the salon, one is met with twin, adjustable-height tables to each side matched with minimalistic L-shaped settees. A pop-up television forward and to starboard provides entertainment. (Though really, who watches TV on a boat? Should be illegal.) A small galley forward of that feels a bit perfunctory, but there is a usable cooktop and some more refrigeration should cooking duties arise.
Each hull on the 55 houses a stateroom, or perhaps more accurately, a cabin, as they are rather small. The Ultima is certainly usable for overnights or even weekends, but I think these areas will likely be used more for naps considering this model’s strong dayboat sensibilities. Each cabin is ensuite, though the portside owner’s cabin has a much larger head, as the guest head abuts a captain’s cabin aft. It’s rare to say, but the owner’s head really is a standout on this boat, as it takes up nearly half the hull, earning high marks both for spaciousness and privacy.
Back upstairs at the helm the captain is in for a treat. Twin Besenzoni captain’s chairs with slick-looking carbon-fiber backs mean a captain and mate can man the boat simultaneously or just keep up a lively conversation during a cruise. Windows completely surround the helm, and though they aren’t overly large, they are placed at the perfect height for the captain to have excellent lines of sight. Most of the controls are located to starboard of the captain’s chair, creating an ergonomic setup while running the boat. Twin MFDs also allow the captain to keep an eye on all the Ultima’s vitals while running.
