Vantage is the sistership to Odysseia.

Like Odysseia, Vantage has a very open planned layout. She is set up well for family boating, fishing and diving. Her generous cockpit features an in built freezer, BBQ, rod locker, live bait tank, removable game chair, basin with a hot and cold shower, engine and thruster control, salt and fresh water wash down, clever and neat outboard stowage and the ever popular ‘God Step’ which is a fold down step from the boarding platform to allow swimmers and divers easy access to and from the boat into the water.

Her interior configuration has minimal change to that of Odysseia. The galley and a full sized Fisher and Paykel fridge freezer occupy her aft saloon area. Forward of this area is U-Shaped raised dining which has been raised slightly higher than Odysseia’s to allow her passengers even greater visibility. The helm is opposite the dining area to starboard.

Two cabins are forward, the master to port and a bunk arrangement in the bow. Access to the engine room is in the head through the shower via a service room.

Vantage’s interior styling namely her colour scheme and dash are very different from Odysseia’s. She features a contemporary neutral colour scheme and cabinetry in white oak veneers with an oiled finish. Her carbon fibre and leather dash was custom designed and built to her owner’s preference by Scott Lane Boatbuilders.
