SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL Yacht Description
Some Kind of Wonderful is a stunning 72-foot custom-built Fountaine Pajot catamaran that redefines charter luxury. Completely refit in 2024, she blends her original prestige with modern upgrades for a sailing experience unlike any other. Strikingly sleek, extraordinarily elegant, and exceedingly spacious, she delivers a five-star floating retreat for the most discerning travelers. Originally launched in 2016 as a privately owned yacht, she joined the charter fleet in 2023 and is now ready to impress.
With a custom carbon fiber mast and boom, Kevlar standing rigging, and 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 luxuriously appointed interior and notable design of Some Kind of Wonderful have been perfected for socializing, with endless space both above and below deck. The open and airy salon features wraparound windows for 360° views, an inviting sofa for lounging or movie nights on the cinema screen, and a chef’s dream galley with state-of-the-art appliances, extensive counterspace, and fine porcelain tableware.
Her massive flybridge—a guest favorite—offers dual access points for safe and easy movement throughout the yacht. It features an oversized C-shaped sofa, twin cocktail tables, 2 bench seats, 2 large daybeds, a versatile awning, and dedicated flybridge fridges to keep cocktails cold as you enjoy panoramic sunsets and island breezes.
The expansive aft deck is shaded by the flybridge above and offers a beautiful setting for formal dining, along with additional bench seating and twin lounge/daybeds. At the foredeck, two bow seats, trampolines, and more daybeds create a serene front-row seat for dolphin-spotting, sunbathing, or simply soaking in the views.
Some Kind of Wonderful accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 spacious ensuite cabins: one king primary suite and three queen suites. Each stateroom features a private ensuite bathroom with a separate dry shower stall, individual climate control, and premium linens and beach towels. The primary suite is exceptionally large and includes a seating area, desk/vanity, television, king-size bed, and a luxurious bathroom with a double vanity and oversized glass shower.
She carries an impressive collection of brand-new water toys, including stand-up paddleboards, a double kayak, 360 Hangout, snorkel gear, tube, knee board, water skis, and more. Her extended tender platform doubles as a swim platform for easy access to ocean adventures.
After a day of island-hopping, water sports, and exploration, unwind with a chef-prepared gourmet dinner in the beautifully lit cockpit or sip a custom cocktail under the stars. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply embracing the joy of the present moment, Some Kind of Wonderful delivers a charter experience full of serenity, service, and unforgettable memories.
Your experienced Captain and accomplished Chef are standing by in paradise—ready to welcome you aboard.
Presented by DMA Yachting, the majestic charter yacht SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL is a 72 ft sailing catamaran. The most attractive features of SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL are her well-chosen interiors and experienced crew. SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL spends the summer and winter season in British Virgin Islands.
