- Saloon
- Lady 8 has a wonderful raised deck saloon with virtually a 360 degree view across the decks and out to sea. This being a particularly nice feature as opposed to being in a more typical below decks saloon with no visibility of your surroundings. The saloon has a large U shaped sofa and seating around an excellent dining table to port (sleeping 8+ guests). To starboard is an additional sofa and lounging area next to the large Television and bar area. Walking forward from the saloon you enter the guest area and the guest 3 cabins.
- Crew
- Take the steps aft of the saloon and you can access the 4th double guest cabin. Also there is access to the yachts engine room (which is under the saloon). Aft from here you enter the dedicated and large Crew accommodation. Sleeping 4 crew in two crew cabins, this is an excellent living area for the yachts 3-4 crew. There is a good size galley to starboard, a crew dining area seating 3-4 and the yachts navigation station/desk a central part of the space. The crew cabins consist of 1 x large double cabin and a twin bunk cabin opposite. The crew share a bathroom with shower.
- Access onto deck is via a crew companionway stairwell and hatch – therefore avoiding disturbing the guests.

- WINTER 2022 – 23 REFIT (Palma, Mallorca)
- In December 2022 the current owner of Lady 8 decided to give his yacht the 15 year refit which the yacht deserved. The 7 month refit of Winter 2022/23 was completed in June 2023 and the finished article is absolutely a credit to the yachts diligent Captain and refit team. Credit must go to the owner for the open book ‘no stone left unturned’ approach to the refit. As a result the CNB95 Lady 8 almost presents and operates better than she did when first launched in 2008 by CNB, Bordeaux.
- All systems were evaluated and where necessary overhauled or replaced. The engine room was re-worked, fully re-painted, re-insulated and many systems also renewed.
