SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL is a 72’ custom Fountaine Pajot sailing catamaran, originally launched in 2016 and completely refit in 2024—an elevated, five-star retreat with serious performance. Custom carbon fiber mast/boom, Kevlar rigging, and extended hulls/keels make her lighter, faster, and smoother underway. Sleeps up to 8 in 4 spacious cabins: 1 King Primary suite plus 3 Queen suites—each with a private ensuite and individual climate control. Highlights include a massive flybridge with dual access, daybeds, cocktail seating, and flybridge fridges, plus an airy 360°-view salon with cinema screen and a chef-grade galley. An extended tender/swim platform makes water access effortless, with water toys onboard for endless fun. Sleek, spacious, and impeccably upgraded—SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL is exactly what the name promises.

Benita & Ziggy ,I had no idea what to expect, but you guys made this vacation so comfortable and relaxing. Your cuisine was beyond compare! I knew once I booked this trip in Oct ‘23 I would love it once I saw the picture of you both.There was nothing more I could have expected, I don’t think there is anything I could change except packing less (lol) . You guys should buy you own charter and do this yourself. Let us know of all your plans! -Ann& Larry S.
