•    Bridge Deck: Owner's three-room suite.
•    Main Deck:  Captain’s cabin
•    Lower Deck: 

•  VIP cabin, double guest stateroom, twin stateroom, and a double stateroom with built in murphy bed 
• Crew accommodations 

AVALON's extended length allows for a spacious open-plan saloon and a large owner's deck with a three-room suite and an open-air lounge. The bridge deck features a radio room, and the main deck includes a library/cinema room and a captain's cabin.

Crew have easy access to all areas, including the engine room and lazarette.

Designed by Sylvia Bolton and Martin Lo, the main deck features formal dining, an informal dining/breakfast area, and a full-service bar, with aft windows that lower to connect these spaces. The versatile salon can be customized to the owner's preferences.

Al-fresco dining is available on the main deck aft, the owner's deck, and the large flybridge with built-in sofas and Hi/Lo tables under a hardtop. All decks are open for owner use.

The contemporary interior features gloss-finished Macassar ebony paneling, walnut floors, and floating floors for sound control. Gucci window treatments enhance the views, and multi-level lighting creates customizable ambiance.
    

The second hull in the Marco Polo series, designed by Ron Holland, AVALON is slightly larger than her sister ship. Built to Lloyd's standards, AVALON features a steel hull and a composite superstructure. She is powered by a single Caterpillar 3512B engine. With her easily driven deep hull shape, stabilizers, and a secondary propulsion system for emergency get-home power, AVALON ensures exceptional maneuverability, especially when docking, aided by her stern thruster. 

Well-equipped and meticulously maintained, AVALON is a proven long-distance explorer. Having recently completed a shipyard period, annual maintenance, and an intermediate survey, AVALON is not due for another haul until April 2026, with the next annual survey scheduled for April/May 2025. She is ready for her new owner for the upcoming season.
