Yacht Description
Big-boat sailing. ARABELLA is a 157-foot classic sailing yacht built in 1983 and refit in 2000, set up to sleep up to 40 guests. If you are trying to keep a large group on one platform without turning it into logistics theater, this is a very workable layout.
Deck life works. There is a Jacuzzi on the aft section with a broad sunbed right in front of it. Simple. Effective. Up forward, the foredeck gives you sunbeds by the helm plus padded bench seating along the bulwarks, with a clear central area for operations or stretching out at anchor.
Cabins with logic. Accommodation is across 20 well-proportioned en-suite cabins: 6 VIP staterooms, 2 doubles, and 12 twins. Each cabin has climate control and a viewing porthole, so guests get privacy without the “interior cabin” feel.
Easy water time. For getting everyone off the yacht and into the water without delays, ARABELLA carries a 20-ft USCG-certified RIB for 12 passengers, plus 2 kayaks, 2 stand-up paddleboards, 2 Pico dinghy sailboats, and snorkeling gear for guests. Wi-Fi and full air conditioning are onboard when it is time to come back and reset.
