As you enter the interior of the boat from the cockpit companionway, the first thing you notice is the custom interior layout which is unique to this vessel compared to the nominal production Norseman 400's. To enter, you go down a few stairs which leaves you looking forward towards the bow. Once inside you see the full galley off to port and the doorway to the head immediately to starboard. If you go port aft of the companion way you just entered in, there will be the main sleeping berth which offers a twin mattress and some storage but in a smaller room with limited and varying head space throughout. Turning back towards the bow and walking forward a bit you will notice the electronic instrument panel as well as the main breaker and a desk/storage space off to starboard. To forward & port you will be in the main living space of the cabin which has a large U-shaped settee with an adjustable table in the middle of it.Behind the settee are multiple storage options as well as under seat storage. To starboard of the settee is a bench style seat with padded cushions that can convert into a full sized sleeper as well. Behind this bench seat and below are more storage compartments. Overall, The main cabin and galley are naturally bright due to a number of windows, hatches, and portholes. Continuing towards the bow, you enter the V berth which offers 2 twin sleeping options to port and starboard as well as storage below each berth.

In the V berth there are twin berths on either side of the companionway which can definitely accommodate 1 guest each and potentially fit more than that with the V berth center piece added.
