2012 Dean 5000

The interior of BLISS III has a stunning fit and finish.  Constant upgrades and renewals have maintained the boat in an almost as-new condition and this is discernible in her interior and exterior.  All bulkhead and deckhead linings were replaced in 2020.  All hull windows have new fitted window coverings (2023). Goiot shade/mosquito screens on deck hatches (recessed in saloon, surface mount in hulls) – new from 2021.  Mosquito screens for all ports.

All settees are new red leather upholstered (2021).  Lighting throughout is LED with additional red courtesy lights and ambient strip lighting.  The same lighting style is repeated in the cockpit, where life aboard is shared with the saloon.

Relax in style to watch the 43 inch 3D LED flatscreen on an electro-mechanical lift system and enjoy sounds via the Bose soundbar with subwoofer in the saloon, additional speakers in cockpit.

Three air-conditioning units cool the whole interior complete with Breathe Easy air purifiers.  There is even a mist system in the cockpit !  When it’s time to cook you may choose a gas or electric induction oven.  A dishwasher and a washer/dryer add yet more to your comfort aboard.

BLISS III is an owner's version cat, the whole starboard hull dedicated as such.  The port hull has two double cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom.
