Below deck, Simply Southern impresses with its spacious and bright interior. The main salon is open and welcoming, featuring a practical layout perfect for living aboard.

The two-head layout is particularly beneficial for extended trips or living aboard. From a systems perspective, Simply Southern is equipped with all the essentials for a capable cruiser, including a reliable diesel engine, modern navigation electronics like GPS, chartplotter, and autopilot, as well as a davit system for easy access to your tender. The logical layout and good access to systems simplify ownership and maintenance, making it less daunting than more complex designs. What sets Simply Southern apart is her exceptional balance; she’s spacious enough for comfortable cruising yet approachable for an owner-operator. This boat prioritizes dependability, comfort, and enjoyment without unnecessary flair. Notably, the owner plans to have her hauled for a fresh coat of bottom paint this Spring, ensuring she’s well-prepared for the upcoming sailing season. The interior boasts solid wood finishes without cheap veneers, and the topsides remain free of significant gelcoat cracks. Included is a sturdy fiberglass dinghy, making this a complete package.
