The 73-foot sailing catamaran Wonderful is one of my favorites. She’s been offering charters around the Virgin Islands for the past three years, making an excellent name for herself not only because the yacht is nice, but also because the chef, Elizabeth Lee, continues to win awards at industry-only boat shows.

Now comes some exciting news from Wonderful’s captain, Warren East: He and chef Elizabeth are moving the yacht to a new cruising ground–the stunning Seychelles–where they will offer charters from December through April. I was in the Seychelles just last year onboard the motoryacht Teleost, and I can tell you, it’s one of the most beautiful sun-and-sand destinations for cruising in the world.

Plus, the yacht will be stopping along the way in Turkey, where she’ll undergo some refit work to incorporate a sexy new look: black hull and mast with white and orange sails. Check this out:

So not only will you have a proven crew in a great destination, but you’ll also have a freshly manicured yacht, too boot. That’s quite a combination for charter, one that doesn’t cross my desk every day.

Any reputable charter broker can help you snap up one of the available charter weeks onboard Wonderful in the Seychelles. Her rate will be 36,000 euros per week, plus expenses, for up to eight guests.
