SAMELI Two Oceans | From EUR€ 46,550 /wk

The 23m sailing catamaran yacht SAMELI (ex SKIMMER) emerged in 2016 from the cutting-edge South African shipyard, Two Oceans Marine, engineered for transoceanic performance and top speed without sacrificing luxurious accommodation for 10 guests in 5 cabin and sumptuous living spaces. She was refitted in 2023 and has a professional crew of 4.

NOTABLE FEATURES OF SKIMMER: ~ spacious living areas ~ al fresco dining ~ professional crew ~ gym equipment ~ WiFi ~ Air-conditioning

The 740 Open Ocean Performance Cruising Catamaran is as beautiful as it is functional. The low-profile flybridge design with racing stripe band of windows bisecting each hull is sleek and dynamic. The build has a tall rig, a large sail area, and a deep keel and rudder for unparalleled performance. SKIMMER is remarkably spacious, a masterfully designed, open-plan home that boasts 360-degree water views.

Step aboard SKIMMER’s beamy aft deck cockpit where there’s plenty of space for your entire charter party to lounge comfortably. Banquette seating with adjustable tables in protective shade makes this a popular place to dine or relax. A double-wide door opens the interior galley and saloon to the outdoors, expanding the social space for near seamless open circulation and excellent fresh air flow.

The main saloon has a contemporary décor of rich woods with upholstery in gentle hues that create a pleasingly organic ambiance. L-shaped sofa seating with additional modular chairs keep the charter party comfortably at the large dining table. White paneling is crisp and bright, and a generous surround of windows infuses the area with daylight. Opposite the dining area is the galley bar with four built-in stools. The professional galley is a chef’s delight, with five-burner stove, dual sinks, expansive counter space, and loads of storage and refrigeration.

SKIMMER accommodates 10 guests in 5 en suite cabins. Each cabin includes fine linens and soft goods, dual reading lights, thoughtful amenities and sufficient storage for extended voyages. Two en suite crew cabins accommodate up to four crew.

SKIMMER has many notable features that make her an ideal option for first time sailors and families with children. At the bow, two bench seats head up the two spacious trampolines each with a raised side, which supports anyone seated either on deck or at the trampoline. This intelligent design provides bow seating common to motor yachts but unusual in a sailing catamaran. The best of both worlds. Raised gunwales augment safety on deck. The most popular spot aboard SKIMMER is the magnificent flybridge. There is plenty of space for a crowd and the views are spectacular.
