Yacht Description
Complete rebuild refit. IKIGAI is an 82ft/25.1m sailing yacht built by JFA Chantier Naval in 2002 and comprehensively refit at Vitters Shipyard in 2018, to the point she is often described as a complete rebuild. Clear varnished teak inside. It reads clean, modern, and practical.
Sleeps 8 in 3. Up to 8 guests are accommodated across three cabins: a large master cabin plus two twin cabins, with two Pullman berths for flexible family or mixed-group planning. No wasted space, and the saloon and dining area sit amidships where you actually spend the day.
Water time, sorted. The transom opens for access to the tender garage, so getting on and off the boat (and the 13ft/4.2m RIB) is straightforward. Quick swims, quick launches. Less choreography.
Toys with intent. You have a Seabob, kiteboarding equipment, wakeboard, snorkeling gear, and light fishing gear for the “do something” crowd, plus dive sets for competent and qualified divers only. There is also Wi‑Fi and full air conditioning for when you decide you have done enough.
