Accommodations

TALLULAH features a simple and practical arraignment plan with an enclosed head located forward, followed by two settees (which double as bunks) to port and starboard and a basic galley.  The interior is very open and airy, with newly done cushions and soft goods, fresh paint and varnished mahogany trim and cabinetry.  Up two steps farther aft and one is welcomed into a large open cockpit, fully protected from the sun.  All six of her windows open inward to allow for a fully “alfresco” feeling if desired.  A newly designed and constructed aft settee was installed by McMillen Yachts in 2022 and provides a lovely place to lounge.
