People are coming around to see these boats as comfortable, stable and well-built. The deck layout starts with the standard open flybridge. There's lounge seating on both sides, making the flybridge a place to relax, too. Access is by the side decks, with stainless railings and cabin-side grab rails for security.
Molded steps lead to the transom of each hull, and the port hull has a hideaway swim ladder.
Designers have placed a single-berth cabin below the cockpit, reached by a companionway to starboard. One Venturer 44 buyer, a scuba enthusiast, customized the cabin into his dive shop, according to McMaster. Twin sliding doors open from the cockpit to the main saloon. This is a big room with panoramic views. The galley reflects the boat's cruising intentions, he says.
