When it comes to cruising the South Pacific, and in particular unique islands such as FIJI, the available fleet of luxury yachts is very limited. It is refreshing to know that a charter yacht such as the performance sailing catamaran SLIM is currently cruising the area. A Gunboat 66. this luxury catamaran offers an exceptional sailing experience cruising the breathtaking South Pacific waters. S/Y SLIM is available for charter at 32,200 EUR or 37,500 USD per week plus all expenses and any applicable tax. Refitted in 2024, this sophisticated 66-foot performance cat was originally designed by Morrelli & Melvin and launched in 2012. She is now a yacht that almost perfectly blends world-class sailing capabilities with speeds of around 20kn, with elegant on-board comfort to deliver a memorable yachting vacation.
Sailing and under power performance:
S/Y SLIM’s dimensions and design showcase its pedigree as a high-performance cruiser. At 66ft she is powered by 2x Volvo Penta 55hp diesel engines, allowing motoring speeds of 9kn should this be needed.

Accommodation on board of S/Y SLIM
Accommodation is tailored for family or friends, welcoming up to six guests in three well-appointed cabins.

The interiors are designed to maximize natural light and provide an airy, modern ambiance as expected from a contemporary sailing catat. The living areas include an open-plan saloon with a port-side galley and starboard dining/lounge space. Outside, spacious foredeck trampolines invite relaxation and sunbathing, while the aft cockpit shaded by a hardtop overhang offers an alfresco dining setting alongside comfortable seating and sun pads.
