WARWICK 130 SPORT

This unprecedented 130' model stems from Warwick's yacht design team. The major feature of this two and a half decker with a flying bridge is its sporty outlook backed by its powerful MTU engines and rather narrow beam. Other distinctive markings are to be found in its interior design. The lower deck encompasses the sleeping quarters with a main cabin of generous dimensions at the centre of the yacht plus three other cabins for guests. One is a single berth cabin while the other two have double berths. The crews' quarters are reachable from the main deck through an independent passage and include a galley with an annexed mess-room and two cabins, one of which with separated berths and the other with a "queen size berth". The centre deck hosts a semicircular lounge which faces a large windscreen from which it draws its light. This type of lounge was made possible thanks to the particular shape of the main deck which has the wheelhouse, like a terrace, overlooking, the centre deck. The dining area and the main saloon, which spreads from one side of the yacht to the other, are astern of it. The yacht's exteriors are also designed to be user friendly. There is a cockpit with a welcoming sofa, bar cabinet, dining area and an ample sunbathing space in perfect match with the sunbathing area and Jacuzzi at the bows. To complete the Warwick's superstructure there is a small hard top flying bridge complete of cushions for sunbathing as well as a second set of commands for every possible manoeuvre.
