A spacious boat, the Firmship is nevertheless cozy and comfortable as well with a lot of wood panels throughout the upper deck, cabin and lower deck. Priced at €276,000 (about $400,500), the Firmship is equipped with foldable deck furniture, a galvanized anchor, GPS with autopilot, a stained glass window, full king-sized bed, couch that converts into a queen bed, bathroom with stand-up shower, and a beefy Perkins six cylinder engine.
