Jfa /vitters 82 Sloop (2002) For sale

AUCTION IN AUGUST. STARTING BID: EUR 250,000.

Experience luxury cruising aboard IKIGAI, an 82ft sailing yacht that stands as a testament to exceptional design and craftsmanship. Following a comprehensive refit at Vitters Shipyard, IKIGAI is more impressive than ever, combining robust construction with elegant aesthetics.

Designed by the acclaimed Judel Vrolijk design office, her aluminium hull and superstructure offer both strength and style. Her flush deck design keeps all ropes concealed beneath the deck, this thoughtful layout not only provides a clean and uncluttered deck but also enhances safety and manoeuvrability. Purpose-built for circumnavigation, IKIGAI is designed to be easily managed by just two permanent crew members, making her ideal for extended voyages.

Her interior, crafted by GCA in Barcelona, Spain, exudes warmth and sophistication with clear varnished teak throughout. The spacious saloon and dining area serve as the heart of the yacht, perfect for relaxation and socializing and feature large windows and thoughtful lighting encourage a bright atmosphere.

Forward of the saloon, IKIGAI offers luxurious accommodation for up to 8 guests. The large master cabin features a private seating area and an en-suite bathroom, providing a serene retreat for the owner or primary guests. Two twin guest cabins, each with their own bathrooms, and additional pullman beds also offer comfortable accommodation for guests.

IKIGAI was recently refitted and refurbished at Vitters Shipyard in what was effectively a complete rebuild. The spacious, modern and welcoming interior is fashioned from clear varnished teak. The large master cabin and two guest cabins are situated forward. Amidships are the spacious saloon and dining room. Behind the companionway you will find, to port, the brand new high-tech navigation station, the chart table and the crew cabin; and to starboard, the galley and crew mess. The transom opens to give access to the garage where the tender is stored. Sailing Ikigai is an absolute joy: sensational to helm, she is simply fantastic upwind.
