Hence she's got ample welcoming well
furnished spaces and futuristic technology. Cinderella's exteriors
also enable one to relax in the sun whilst not playing, perhaps, with
the numerous water games she has stored in her large stern
locker/garage. Amongst these, there is a RIB tender powered by a 50 HP
Yamaha outboard, water skiing equipment, two windsurfs, a canoe,
snorkelling gear, and fishing tackle, in short, everything possible to
allow her guests to enjoy to the outmost their holiday on the sea. Who
created the interiors must have thought along the same lines since
there's a library with a section dedicated exclusively to films and
music, coupled to the most recent generation of audiovisual systems
and of course, air conditioning in every area. The guests' sleeping
accommodation is at the bows and has two huge cabins with double beds
and own bathroom, another double cabin with a self contained bathroom,
and towards the stern, yet another guest cabin with a self contained
bathroom though with separate berths. These cabins are all connected
via a central corridor accessible from mid ship's where there is a
main saloon at full beam. In this area to starboard, there's a saloon
with a "U" shaped sofa, a central table, and bar cabinet to its stern,
whilst to port, there's the dining area with an "L" shaped sofa and
chairs along its sides. The décor inside is in wood with cloth
finishes in different materials in which the colour blue prevails for
the saloon and white for the cabins. The central part of this yacht is
worth mentioning, since Windship, Cinderella's shipyard, took
advantage of the hull's dimensions to create a very attractive and
bright saloon area enhanced by large glass panelling along the
surrounding perimeter as well as with generous crystal skylights
towards the bow on deck, giving unusual headroom and plenty of light.
The décor, everywhere, is the clear result of an attentive
research in design yet it is sober thanks to its classic choice which
always pays off. The spacious saloon outside, protected from the sky
above by an appropriate bimini awning is an ideal place from which to
enjoy cruising without minimally getting into the crews way which will
be manoeuvring in a cockpit further astern. The two wheel steering
cockpit has a comforting anti spray hood to shelter one from the sun
or adverse conditions. Modern instruments and technology keep the
yachts potential under control. For more demanding guests, Cinderella
II has internet and satellite facilities thanks to a modern system
that allows it to receive and exchange data. We were thus not at all
surprised to learn that she is often chartered by the same people who
have already experienced the pleasure of a comfortable sail aboard her
or simply under engine enjoying the elements of the sea under every
shape and form.
