RAFAELA

## Rafaela — Bali Catspace, Ionian Islands A brand-new Bali Catspace, *Rafaela* brings the one quality that defines this hull family: usable space, and plenty of it. The Catspace's layout thinking is unusually practical for a catamaran of this size — a genuine flow between the saloon and the aft cockpit, wide side decks, and a forward lounging area that works as a second living room rather than an afterthought. Accommodation is arranged across four cabins, each with a double bed. She welcomes up to twelve guests aboard. What makes her convincing for families and groups of friends is less about any single feature than about how the volumes work together. Catamaran stability means the yacht sits flat at anchor and underway — no heeling, no negotiating a sloping deck with a drink in hand. Everyone finds their own corner without anyone feeling crowded, and moving between the interior and the outdoor spaces takes no thought at all. The Ionian is the right cruising ground for her. Short hops between Lefkada, Meganisi, Kefalonia and Ithaca, reliable afternoon breezes, sheltered bays where you can swim off the transom before lunch and be in a taverna by evening. It suits an unhurried rhythm, and *Rafaela* is built for exactly that pace. Her crew handles the navigation, the provisioning and the daily running of the yacht, leaving guests to decide little more than which bay comes next.
