Important options include: generators for air-conditioning, hot water heater, extra berths, large galley with sink, stove, microwave, refrigerator and plenty of storage. Equally important were the aft deck fishing features: optional live well, sink, tackle storage and fish lockers. The 3070 is a delightful blend of these features in an easily managed size.

Description: The Phantom 48 benefits from a stunning new interior. The contemporary model has an expansive open plan saloon/dining area with sleek low-level sideboards that house the entertainment facilities, including a 20” LCD TV, DVD/CD player and integrated cutlery and crockery drawer. The saloon has a comfortable sofa that is upholstered in stylish linen or premium leather that can be used for relaxing or dining, as well as a large, ingenious table that converts electrically from cocktail to dining, seating eight people with ease. The joinery throughout has been highly crafted in American White Oak with a satin finish or a genuine lacquered American Cherry. Stowage facilities onboard the 48ft model are generous and careful attention has been paid to practical aspects aboard the boat with carefully placed handrails for easy manoeuvring around the interior of the boat.
