ARAOK Yacht Description
-
50 HP Highfield Ocean Master tender:
Great for quick island hops and towing wakeboard or other towable toys. -
Watersports kit (wakeboard, water skis, kneeboard):
Easy, action-packed sessions for mixed abilities, from first-timers to confident riders. -
2 paddleboards + 1 kayak:
Ideal for calm-morning exploring, beach landings, and gentle workouts between swims.
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.”

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailing catamaran like ARAOK, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€5,000 - €8,750), making the charter cost €30,000 to €33,750. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
