The Yacht
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.
