MAKANI II Yacht Description
-
3 x Seabob F5S:
Premium Seabobs provide thrilling underwater exploration—guests can glide beneath the surface with ease. -
SeaDoo 220hp Jet Ski:
Powerful standup jet ski offers exciting fun on the water, perfect for adrenaline lovers. -
Full Stabilization System (at anchor & underway):
Ensures smooth cruising and better sleep at anchor; enables visiting more challenging destinations.
Start with the key hack: MAKANI II is a 35m Sunseeker that thinks it’s a 40m. Wide‑body hull, fold‑down salon terraces, and a submersible swim platform mean you’re not chartering “a 115‑footer” – you’re chartering big‑boat volume disguised in a smaller parking space.
Top deck = command center for not doing much. The sundeck runs a proper Jacuzzi surrounded by sunpads, a bar, dining area, and shaded hard top with a retractable section. Translation: same deck works for family time, client dinners, or pretending your phone has no signal while it’s on Starlink Wi‑Fi in your pocket.
Cabin logic is built for real groups, not brochure diagrams. Up to 12 guests sleep in 5 cabins, with a main‑deck master (full‑beam, big windows, marble bathroom, dual walk‑in closets) plus two queens and two twins on the lower deck. Both twins convert to doubles and add Pullmans, so you can run up to five double cabins or mix couples, kids, and friends without a mattress‑Tetris meeting.
Stability, then speed. Full stabilizers work both underway and at anchor, so the boat does the moving, not your drink. Built in 2013 and refit in 2023, she runs at around 19 knots with a range of roughly 1,250nm, which is yacht‑speak for “you can actually go somewhere without turning it into a fuel stop tour.”
Toys: actual hardware, not fine print. Three F5S Seabobs, a SeaDoo jet ski, paddleboards, wakeboard, adult waterskis, inflatable sofa and banana, plus fishing and snorkeling gear. The 520 Williams tender handles everyday runs, and if you want to go full boss mode there’s an optional 10.97m Ribco chase boat that turns transfers into a separate sport.
Tech and service aren’t an afterthought. SONOS AV throughout, big TVs in salon and cabins, a sundeck screen, and Starlink / 4–5G connectivity keep work and streaming alive if you insist. A crew of seven – including a Le Monde‑trained chef and a captain with two decades at sea – is set up for both high‑touch service and smooth, low‑drama operations.
Why charter MAKANI II instead of “another 115”: you get 40m‑class interior volume, a main‑deck master, five‑double flexibility, a real sundeck Jacuzzi, heavy toy inventory, modern refit, and full stabilization – all wrapped in a proven Sunseeker platform that’s designed to be used, not just photographed.

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 motor yacht like MAKANI II, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€26,250 - €42,000), making the charter cost €131,250 to €147,000. 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.
