A nice detail is the starwatching roof above the dining table, so you don't have to go on deck to enjoy the starry sky.
Additional plus is that it is also sustainable, the entire boat is self-sufficient and an ingenious osmosis system from Austria ensures that this filtered water is even drinkable. You can read in detail how they did this in the information folder upon arrival. Nice to know is that the wood in the boat is old sanded planks recycled from the cheese warehouses and the entire boat is very well isolated & heated with central heating system in the coldest months.
