Access to the R-43’s large, covered cockpit is safe and easy from any dock via the starboard dive door, or the latched transom doors leading from the oversized swim platform. An opening glass pass-through window connects the galley and cockpit, creating an open, social area for entertaining and gathering. An icemaker, sink, Fusion stereo control, and joystick docking station can also be found in the cockpit, along with innovate transom seats and tables that rotate into multiple configurations depending on your desired use.
