KIMATA

S/Y KIMATA Based at Marina Zea in Athens and cruising the Greek islands, S/Y KIMATA belongs to a generation of sailing catamarans built around volume and open-air living rather than compromise. Her deck plan is what sets her apart: an expansive flybridge with a genuine ocean terrace, a forward cockpit with a jacuzzi, and an aft cockpit sized for long lunches and easy evenings at anchor. Below, the interior is boldly modern and unusually spacious for her type — a layout that reads as comfortable rather than showy. Accommodation is for eight guests in four cabins: an owner's cabin plus three cabins with a double bed, each with its own private bathroom. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. Between the flybridge and the foredeck, there is more sunbathing and lounging space than most guests know what to do with — a practical advantage on a Cycladic itinerary, where the day is spent moving between shade, sun and the water. Under sail, she offers the real thing: the pleasure of making passage between islands rather than simply motoring from bay to bay. A crew of three — captain, hostess and chef — looks after the boat and her guests, with meals served alfresco in the aft cockpit and the kind of quiet anticipation that comes from working a familiar cruising ground season after season. KIMATA took 3rd place in the Diamond Category at the CYBA Designer Water Competition, EMMYS 2024.
