EDISON features one of the best crew areas on a boat of this size, comfortably accommodating up to 5 crew in 3 cabins.

The crew area is accessed via a staircase forward of the galley and aft of the master cabin. The stairwell is "open", giving the 7' x 7' utility space with ceiling heights of 6'10" a spacious feeling, with natural light flooding the space from the port side entrance and portholes. 

The utility space is home to a full-length True Freezer and True Refrigerator as well as a Cooper "walk-in" refrigerator. Additionally, there is a stacked washer and dryer and two large pantry/storage closets. A separate engineer's workshop is adjacent to this space and features a large workbench, mounted vice, storage, and toolbox.

The double berth Captain's cabin is forward of the engineer's workshop and features a private dressing area and en-suite. An open-minded buyer could use this cabin as a 4th guest stateroom if desired.

Forward of the Captain's cabin and through another door is the crew mess, crew galley, and two additional crew cabins.

The crew mess and galley feature a spacious table with seating on both sides, a porthole, and alarm panels to monitor the boat's systems. 

Forward of the crew mess and through a watertight door are the remaining crew cabins: a double bunk berth with vanity and sink and a single berth cabin located to starboard, also with a sink and vanity. Both cabins have portholes and there is an escape hatch in the double bunk berth. These two cabins share a separate full bath located on the port side, just outside the doors to these cabins.
