Salon aboard the Parranda
Comfortable salon

The salon is ample and classy, with large windows that allow a scenic view. The TV, VCR and stereo are here, so this is the place to enjoy the CD and video collection. Aft of the salon is the dining area, which is very pleasant because it is open toward the stern of the yacht, and still has a roof and windows on its sides, so guests receive fresh air and are protected from the sun.

The galley is fully fitted to enable the chef to maintain the highest standards in cuisine and its presentation. The outside deck is extraordinary, long and spacious, it has comfortable lounge chairs to read, sleep or relax, and is entirely covered by a canopy to offer protection from the sun.
