It features rolling choke stabilizers for enhanced comfort while at anchor or in rough seas, making it one of the most seaworthy designs in its class. **SPACIOUS LAYOUT** The Europa layout is highly sought after, offering two cabins with sleeping accommodations for four, a bright and airy salon, and excellent visibility from the helm.
