ARATUI

Description

Better than new, Aratui is a luxury Fountaine Pajot catamaran with a proven pedigree of exceptional cruising and blue water comfort.

She boasts the highly desirable and luxurious comfort version with three staterooms, and three separate bathrooms. The entire Port side hull is an expansive master suite devoted to owner comfort and space, complete with generous queen bed, office, huge bathroom shower, vanity, and separate head. Starboard, the spacious guest staterooms include generous beds, ample storage, clever lighting, and private, well-appointed showers and heads. All heads are fresh water, electric flush. Both hulls include factory fitted carpets and block- out curtains.

The spacious saloon is furnished with tasteful fabrics, light modern wood grained furniture, a Bose and Fusion sound system, and Samsung TV. Generous soft seating wrapped around a coffee table with storage underneath. A computer charging and storage station is next to an integrated wine rack, and pre-wired space for a microwave oven. Along with large picture windows, a huge forward-facing window ensures plenty of ventilation and connection with the foredeck.

The galley is seamlessly connected to the cockpit by large sliding windows and doors. Two generous Corian benchtops make entertaining a pleasure, along with a three-burner cooktop, Airlux gas oven, double stainless sinks, eight place dishwasher, freezer, and a double drawer refrigerator.

The generous cockpit includes an eight-seater teak table, drinks refrigerator, BBQ, extra lounging areas, external speakers, and storage.

Along with relaxing areas around the forward trampoline, the upstairs sunlounge includes generous wraparound seating and double sun beds.

The well-designed helm station has excellent visibility, is nicely linked to the cockpit and sun lounge, is weather protected, and includes comfortable seating for three. This uncluttered, safe space, brings sheets, halyards, and reefing lines back to three winches, and nine clutches. The clearly set out navigation instruments and compass include a chain counter and windlass remote control.

Aratui has been fastidiously maintained by its one and only owners, she has never been chartered and includes a long list of factory fitted upgrades and ongoing improvements.

The owners are motivated sellers and continue to look after Aratui with pride and care.
