GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Bäder
English translation:bathrooms

German to English translations [PRO]
Ships, Sailing, Maritime / Specifications
German term or phrase: Bäder
Context:

Die Motoryacht bietet fünf Kabinen für Eigner und Gäste, drei für die Crew und sechs Bäder.

Talking about the Elegance 122 RPH (cf. http://tinyurl.com/yjgzkyy [PDF]).

Does this mean six en-suite bathrooms?

P.S. The broad field should, in my opinion, be Sport, which is unfortunately not an option. None of the existing options seem to apply to sailing, hence my choice of "Other". If this can be corrected, please feel free to change it to "Sport". I have specified "(here)" as it is so context-specific.

bathrooms
Explanation:
I would imagin that "en-suite" cannot work for all six here, as that would mean that two cabins had no access to any bathroom! I would guess that the first 5 cabins might have en-suite, while the 3 crew cabins share the 6th...

agree  Jutta Scherer: It might even be that the 6 baths are for the residents of the 5 guest cabins and 1 for the crew...

This beautiful Lien Hwa Flushdeck Motoryacht is a bit of a floating mansion. She has three Staterooms, two salons, three heads, and a laundry room, not to mention a sundeck and a very large party deck. The boat is stabilized and very well equipped. She is quite comfortable whether you are cruising the harbor or cruising the West Coast to Alaska. “She offers both local and long-range luxury.”

The final cabin offers another king sized bed, and ensuite with a bath tub, shower and head. Starfire is fully air conditioned through out.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Is 'bathroom' very wrong, or would it be OK for a general readership (attending a boat show)? It seems more accessible to the lay person.

Asker: Many thanks for that interesting fact :-)

agree  philgoddard: Yes, you're quite right, well argued!

  -> Thank you Phil
disagree  Colin Rowe: "Head" is the correct nautical term for a TOILET (cf. Dluhy), NOT for a bathroom. US (mis-)use of "bathroom" (as euphemism for toilet) not to be confused with the German "Bad". In your own examples, the "head" is part of the equipment of the bathroom.
