She features three beautifully appointed queen cabins, each with a private ensuite bath complete with electric head, vanity, and separate shower, blending comfort and tranquility for every guest. Her spacious salon provides the perfect setting for lounging or dining, while her generous outdoor spaces invite you to bask in the Caribbean trade winds.
