Some Kind Of Wonderful
Some Kind of Wonderful is an exceptionally stunning custom-built Fountaine Pajot. Newly built and launched in 2016, she is a remarkable Flagship and top-of-the-line luxury catamaran designed for the most astute traveler. With her custom carbon fiber mast and boom, Kevlar standing rigging, extended hulls and keels she is lighter, faster, and stronger than the standard Victoria, ensuring guests reach their destinations quickly and smoothly whether under power or sail.

The open galley has seemingly endless counterspace and is equipped with all new state-of-the-art appliances, fine porcelain tableware, and elegant glassware.
The exterior of Some Kind of Wonderful is most impressive! The highlight of the yacht is the exceptionally large flybridge with dual access points for safe and convenient movement onboard. There is ample space for the captain to maneuver at the helm, with nearby seating to allow guests who want to be a part of the sailing experience to stay close to the action. The flybridge boasts an oversized c-shaped sofa, 2 cocktail tables, 2 bench seats, 2 lounge/day beds, and versatile awning. The flybridge's 2 convenient refrigerators maintain deliciously cold beverages and cocktails to enhance the picturesque views, tranquil sunsets, and evening breezes. The substantial aft deck is shaded by the flybridge overhead and provides 2 additional bench seats, 2 lounge/daybeds, as well as an elegant setting for formal dining. The foredeck with 2 additional lounge/daybeds, 2 bow pulpit seats, and 2 trampolines is a wonderful place for lounging, spotting turtles or dolphins, and immersing in the incredible views while underway.
Some Kind of Wonderful accommodates 8 guests in 4 cabins: 1 king primary suite, 2 queen suites, and 2 twin beds that can be converted to a king upon request. Each cabin has a private ensuite bathroom with separate dry shower stalls, independent air-conditioning, complete with the finest quality bed linens, towel sets, and beach towels.
