Some Kind Of Wonderful
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.

Raised in Queens, New York, Richard Pims grew up in a large, food-loving family where meals were the center of connection and celebration. Early memories of his grandmother’s cooking — especially her homemade applesauce on cold winter days — sparked a lifelong appreciation for the warmth and comfort that great food can bring.
After earning his Culinary Arts Degree from Johnson & Wales University, Richard built an impressive foundation in some of New York’s most respected kitchens. He trained at the historic Lahiere’s, a 90-year-old classical French restaurant, and went on to refine his craft in a range of acclaimed establishments including Park Avenue Café and Rm Fine Seafood, the latter earning three stars from The New York Times. Throughout his restaurant career, Richard worked across all kitchen stations, developing a deep understanding of classic French technique, elevated American cuisine, and high-volume execution without sacrificing quality.
Now bringing that experience to the yachting industry, Richard combines his culinary expertise with a strong maritime background. He holds a USCG Master’s License with Sailing Endorsement and has served as both captain and dock master in East Hampton, New York. His dual experience on deck and in the galley gives him a unique understanding of life at sea and the rhythm of charter service.
Chef Richard focuses on refined, ingredient-driven cuisine rooted in classical technique while remaining adaptable to guest preferences. Whether preparing elegant dinners or relaxed coastal fare, he aims to create meals that feel both elevated and familiar — always fresh, thoughtfully presented, and tailored to the experience onboard.
