Hunters M40 is designed as a smart yacht and its internal operating system has the latest technology. There is a fully touch-screen console and a light system that allows voice commands and can change color. Thanks to this system, it is aimed to stay away from pests such as mosquitoes in the summer months by turning on a red light at night. It is also suitable for parties on the boat by lighting the desired color. Hunters M40 is the largest boat on the market under 12 metres. While there are normally 2 cabins with a length of 12 meters, M40 has 3 cabins, 1 WC and 1 bathroom. The cabin height is also 2m, which is very rare among its counterparts.
On the main deck, there is a separate bench with 2 refrigerators, a concealable television and cabinet areas, and a seating group that allows 6 people to eat when opened. Directly opposite the seating group, there is a full touch console screen that can seat 2 people.
Next to the master cabin bed, there is a touch screen that provides all controls of the boat and a TV that opens from the ceiling above the bed. The main bathroom can be accessed from both the master cabin and the corridor, creating multifunctional spaces.
In general, the use of any wooden-looking material inside the boat is avoided. Black, anthracite and white colors are used in the living room and all furniture is lacquered. In the lower cabins, water-resistant and stain-resistant flooring is used on the wall panels and ceilings. Silk carpets are used on all floors. Only RGB LED lighting system was used both inside and outside the boat.
There is a sliding platform at the stern of the boat. Thanks to the sliding platform, the length of the boat extends from 12 meters to 13 meters, so the entire interior space can be used functionally.
