Yacht Description
Big cat, sensible scale. ARAOK is a 58ft Fountaine Pajot Ipanema 58 sailing catamaran built in 2018 and refit in 2024, set up to sleep 6 guests in 3 cabins. Plenty of room to spread out without needing a small town to fill the guest list.
Deck space that works. Expect an easy outdoor routine: a large cockpit for long lunches, sun pads, and a foredeck with trampolines for low-effort sun time. Plus a flybridge setup that gives everyone a separate perch when the group needs a minute.
Water time, sorted. There is a 50HP Highfield Ocean Master tender for quick hops and towing, with toys including two paddleboards, a kayak, kneeboard, wakeboard, towables, snorkeling gear, and light fishing gear. Busy day. Short nap.
Comfort basics included. All three guest cabins are en-suite, with a layout that includes one king and two queen beds. Air conditioning and Wi-Fi are onboard, so you can cool down and pretend you are only checking messages “briefly.”
