Yacht Description
Space for 10. KINGS RANSOM is a 76ft Matrix Yachts Silhouette 76 sailing catamaran (built 2008, refit 2022) that sleeps 10 guests in five ensuite cabins, including a main-deck master with a king berth.
Deck life wins. There is a deck jacuzzi for the post-swim reset, plus expansive deck areas that make it easy to spread out without losing the group. Quick dip. Repeat.
Serious water time. The toy locker is set up for active days: e-foils, a Hobie Wave sailboat, wakeboard, waterskis (adult and child), kayaks, paddleboards, and towables including a banana boat.
Comfort, not fuss. Full air-conditioning and Wi-Fi keep everyone happy between anchor stops, and each guest suite has its own flat-screen smart TV when someone needs a little quiet time.
