WALK-THROUGH
Aft Deck, Flybridge & Side Decks
Boarding the President 37 is made possible from either the ladder on the swim platform or side boarding gates. Your journey begins on the large aft deck with a paneled surround and a solid fiberglass hardtop which offers plenty of room for casual deck chairs, tables and entertaining. This provides the perfect place for morning coffee or an evening sunset. Moving up a few molded steps, the large flybridge features a centerline captain’s chair with a providing a 360-degree view. a companion bench, and generous L-shaped guest seating. The bridge is protected by a full canvas and Isinglass enclosure, housing complete electronics and helm controls. Going forward are wide, secure side decks with full length stainless steel railings which lead to an uncluttered foredeck.
Main Salon
Now back on the aft deck as you step through the wide sliding companionway door and down a few steps into the main salon you are greeted with a bright and open salon. Immediately, you are greeted with a comfortable feeling salon. Surrounded with teak paneling and cabinetry complemented by classic teak and holly sole. The large wraparound cabin windows provide the space with plenty of natural light. The salon is seating is provided by a sofa and double ottoman to the left of the companionway that can double as seating and a matching arm chair. This entire space has doored cabinets on both port and starboard for convenient storage. At the forward end of the salon to port is a counter and to starboard a railing which opens to the dinette below.
Galley & Dinette
No moving forward and down a few steps, to port you enter a well laid out U-shaped galley providing both convenience and efficiency in a small space. In this space you will find all the needed essentials to create a grand dinner when away. There is a full size refrigerator with top freezer, three burner electric stove, microwave and a large stainless steel sink. There is plenty of counter space with cabinetry both above and below providing an abundance of storage and with all cabinets beautifully finished in varnished teak makes for a classic look and feel.
Directly opposite the galley to starboard is a spacious booth style dinette that comfortably seats four adults. Outboard of the booth is more doored and open storage finished in varnished teak. The dinette is multi-functional, with a beautiful chrome finished crank pedestal enabling you to lower the table to provide for extra overnight guest if needed.
Forward Guest Stateroom & Head
Now moving forward and to port is the combination day use head and forward cabin head. this head. This head is of a generous size with most of this area of a one piece molded white fiberglass for easy maintenance with some teak accents and trim to keep with the traditional theme. The toilet is electric, sink is molded fiberglass and a full floor teak shower grate. There is also a second door that leads to the forward stateroom.
The guest cabin is located in the forepeak. This private guest cabin features a large V-berth that can convert to two single berths by removing the filler inserts. This cabin is well-appointed with a large hanging locker, side storage shelves as well as storage cabinets beneath the berth on both sides. For natural ventilation and light is a large overhead deck hatch. Completing this area is private access to the forward head. Again this entire cabin is constructed of beautiful varnished teak.
Owner’s Master Stateroom & Private Head
Lastly is the owners private stateroom with private head. Walking back through the salon and down a few steps you are led into the magnificent master stateroom. This is a full beam cabin, featuring a walk-around centerline island queen bed. The storage here is unlike any 37-foot boat you may have been on up till now. featuring built-in port and starboard dressers, deep hanging lockers, a mirrored vanity, and large portlights that keep the cabin feeling bright and airy. As is the rest of this yacht all bulkheads, cabinetry is beautifully finished in varnished teak providing a warm and luxurious feeling (and maybe a little old world charm).
Lastly the master stateroom private head, like the forward head but considerably larger. This space is mostly one piece molded white fiberglass providing bright and easy to clean space with the addition of teak trim to add a touch of elegance. With-in this space is a vanity with storage both above and below, an electric toilet, and the highly sought-after separate enclosed shower stall.
