The spacious saloon is finished with attractive cream leather upholstery, creating a bright and welcoming living area for relaxing or entertaining. The saloon has an Intellian Satellite TV System. The well-appointed galley is generously sized and equipped with a three-burner gas cooker with oven and grill, microwave, 12V refrigerator and stainless-steel sink. Pressurised hot and cold water is supplied throughout, heated via the engine 30 litre calorifier or 240V immersion heater. The separate heads compartment features a marine toilet, wash basin and a 150-litre holding tank, providing convenience for extended cruising. The temperature is controlled by a Vetus Clima 10 Climate Control & Air Conditioning system which serves the forward cabin and living area. The smaller two-berth cabin is not served by the system, although a grille was fitted in the cabin; it was not ducted. As the system has not been used for some time, it would benefit from an inspection to check/verify functionality.

The flybridge provides further outdoor space and excellent visibility, making the Blackwater 36 an ideal boat for relaxed cruising, entertaining and enjoying time afloat.
