While her pilothouse is fully capable, most Krogen Express owners prefer operating their vessels up top where they can better experience her cruising capabilities.  Conversations are easy as little engine noise makes its way up here, leaving only the soothing sounds of sea breezes and ocean waves with which to compete.  A frameless venturi windscreen deflects air above the captain sitting in the comfortable, raised centerline Stidd helm chair.  Matching Raymarine electronics provides full navigational support along with the large Ritchie compass.  A Standard Horizon VHF radio provides communications.  Controls for the Sidepower bow and stern thrusters, Lenco electric trim tabs, and Maxwell windlass are close at hand.  The Raymarine 4′ HD open array radar scanner and Intellian i3 satellite TV dome are mounted on an aluminum spar-style mast that can be lowered when needed.  Shaded by a Royal blue Sunbrella bimini top, the L-settee provides ample seating for crew and guests and contains storage beneath for the extensive canvas package as well as a propane locker.  Situated aft of the settee, the open boat deck easily accommodates two folding deck chairs and serves as access to the 11′ Nautica 4-seat luxury console tender. This is the ideal place to enjoy a cup of morning coffee or catch a beautiful evening sunset. The dinghy, with a raised console and seating for 4, is powered by a 25 hp 4-stroke Yamaha outboard and launched with the fully hydraulic Steelhead davit.
