ACCOMMODATION
The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both comfort and practicality. Forward is a generous V-berth that converts to a comfortable double, complemented by useful storage and an overhead hatch providing natural light and ventilation. The saloon features a convertible dinette creating a further small double berth, allowing comfortable overnight accommodation for four adults.
Opposite, the compact galley is equipped with a sink, hob, refrigerator and ample storage, while the separate heads compartment incorporates a marine WC, wash basin and shower facility. Large windows throughout create a bright, airy atmosphere, making the interior feel remarkably spacious for a yacht of this size.
The large self-draining cockpit is one of the Rodman's defining features, providing an excellent space for entertaining, fishing or relaxing at anchor. Wide side decks with substantial stainless steel guardrails allow safe access forward, while the bathing platform and boarding ladder make access to and from the water straightforward.
The flybridge offers commanding visibility from the upper helm and generous seating for guests, creating an excellent social space underway or in harbour. A second fully equipped lower helm provides comfortable all-weather operation from within the saloon.
