And both come with a blackout/privacy screen that attaches from the outside to complement the easy pull-down shades throughout the inside of the remainder of the helm area.

The 48 Cantius' double salons are designed to invite onboard entertaining. The upper salon can easily host six guests and comes standard with a wet bar including sink, a 32" Sony Bravia TV, a power-actuated 71" by 71" sunroof with manual sun shade and tri-slide upper salon glass door for 360-degrees of visibility and 165 square-feet of enclosed glass.

Lower Salon

The lower living area boasts a beautiful wenge or walnut wood interior.
Galley
At the galley's entrance, raised ceilings offer just under 7' of headroom. The inventive port side galley is furnished with an upright stainless steel refrigerator and freezer, microwave/convection oven, electric stove, double sink and plenty of storage for supplies. A standard 15.5 kW generator supports four air conditioning and heating units to keep you comfortable. And extra-large below-deck hull ports amplify visibility in the galley and are frameless and post-glazed for a deeper, richer aesthetic.
Skylight
As a result of the seamless integration of the upper helm and the lower salon, you'll enjoy an abundance of natural light that pours into the galley through the open dash.
Master Stateroom
With 6'6" of headroom, the full-beam master stateroom features a queen-sized island berth with a therapeutic foam mattress accessible from both the port and starboard sides. Two full-length cedar-lined closets and a large built-in dresser on the starboard side offer ample storage, perfect for long cruises. Boaters have the option of adding a washer/dryer combo in the port closet.
Master Head
The master stateroom also offers a private head with separate shower stall. A large vanity sits outside the head compartment with solid-surface countertops, and storage above and below. Hull ports above the vanity and built-in dresser capture natural light, illuminating the massive master stateroom.
