Core hack of WONDERFUL: this is a 2023 Gunboat 72 performance cat that actually sails at 20 knots and still sleeps 8 guests in four ensuite cabins. If you’re comparing “floating villas”, this is the one that also happens to overtake them under sail.
Big spaces, low draft, more options. The wide platform gives you proper lounging and dining areas without everyone colliding, while the shallow 1.7m draft lets you sneak into bays and coves the heavier hardware can’t reach. Think “anchored where the Instagram shots are taken”, not “anchored way out with the cruise ships”.
Comfort is dialled in, not bolted on. You get a king master and three queens, all ensuite, all air‑conditioned, built from day one for charter rather than retrofitted. The design brief is simple: move fast, sleep well, keep the Wi‑Fi on, and don’t fight over space.
Serious toys, serious crew. WONDERFUL runs a proper watersports loadout – wakeboard, water skis (adult and kids), Seabob, paddleboards, snorkel gear, towables, plus a fast Highfield tender with 60hp for getting to shore without a saga. A pro skipper and crew who know how to handle a performance cat mean you can be as hands‑on with the sailing as you like, or treat it as a very quick, very stable platform for doing nothing at all.
Why charter WONDERFUL instead of another 70‑something cat: because this one combines Gunboat‑grade speed and handling with long‑range capability, shallow‑water access and a charter‑tuned layout. In plain English: you cover more ground, anchor in better spots and still sleep like you picked the “boring” option.

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 sailing catamaran like WONDERFUL, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€11,000 - €19,250), making the charter cost €66,000 to €74,250. 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.
