Cutting Edge Technology

Custom built sailing yacht Kokomo’s lifting keel gives her access to the world’s shallowest bays. Built by Alloy Yachts and launched in 2010, the interior is by Redman Whiteley Dixon and the naval design by Dubois. Designed for both racing and cruising, she is one of the fastest cruising sloops in her class. Innovations include a submarine anchoring system, mast of 75 metres and a lifting ballast keel which raises to 5 metres and lowers to 8 metres.

The Keel That Opens the World

Most sailing yachts at 58 metres must admire the shallow anchorages from a distance. Kokomo doesn't. Her patented lifting ballast keel adjusts from a deep 8.05 metres under sail to a raised 5 metres at anchor, granting access to bays, lagoons and harbours that are simply off the chart for conventional sailing yachts of her size. Pair that with her submarine anchoring system, a quiet, invisible solution that leaves the bow uncluttered and the views unobstructed, and you have a sailing yacht for charter that is genuinely designed around where guests want to go, not what the hull will allow.

A Proper Sailing Yacht

Kokomo was built to sail, and she does it exceptionally well. Ed Dubois' naval architecture, a 75-metre carbon mast, a wardrobe of performance sails including a full asymmetric kite with retracting bowsprit, and a 2010 International Superyacht Society Best Sail 40M+ win speak to a yacht conceived for real performance on the water. For guests who want to be involved, the deck is an active, engaging place. For those who prefer to let the crew handle it and watch the world go by under canvas, there is no better vantage point than the cockpit of a 58-metre sloop running before a Pacific trade wind. The deck Jacuzzi makes sure nobody has to choose between exhilaration and comfort.

Dive In

Kokomo is a certified PADI Dive Centre. Guests can learn to dive, progress through courses and leave the charter with a qualification in their pocket, all without ever setting foot on land. Eight full sets of scuba equipment are ready to deploy, and the crew includes qualified dive instructors who know the reefs, the walls and the drift dives of the regions Kokomo calls home each winter. Ten sets of snorkelling equipment ensure that nobody misses out regardless of experience level.

Blissful Rest

Kokomo accommodates up to 10 guests across 5 cabins, each carrying the considered, warm hand of Redman Whiteley Dixon, the British interior design studio whose work earned a ShowBoats Design Awards Interior Layout finalist nomination the year Kokomo launched. The master suite takes prime position, generous in scale and private in feel, with the quality of finish you'd expect from a multi-award-winning sailing yacht. A VIP cabin and a double cabin provide excellent options for couples, while two twin cabins with Pullman berths make Kokomo genuinely well-suited to families with children. Ten crew looking after ten guests means the ratio is exceptional, and the standard of care matches the standard of the spaces throughout this remarkable sailing yacht for charter.

Ten Crew. One Unique Sailing Yacht.

A crew of 10 on a 58-metre sailing yacht for charter is a team with genuine depth and expertise. Aboard Kokomo, that means qualified sailors who can handle a 75-metre carbon rig in any conditions, PADI-certified dive instructors, a chef who knows how to cook for a group who've been on the water all day, and an interior team who make the whole thing feel effortless from the inside. The crew know Kokomo's sailing grounds intimately, from the sheltered anchorages of the Mediterranean in summer to the remote Pacific coast dive sites of Costa Rica in winter. They sail when the wind is right, motor when it isn't, and know exactly when to do which.

Built for the Adventurous

Kokomo's toy collection reflects the spirit of the yacht and the places she goes. Two Laser Vago two-man sailing dinghies, each rigged with mainsail, jib, asymmetric kite and trapeze gear, let guests take to the water under their own canvas. The paddleboards come fitted with windsurfing sails for those who want to learn, and the kayaks give quieter access to the coastline. Eight full scuba sets and ten snorkelling kits serve the dive-focused charter Kokomo is built for, particularly in the marine-rich waters of Central America. A wakeboard, water skis, doughnut, sea biscuit and towable toys handle the more anarchic afternoons. The two 6.1-metre Hamilton Jet tenders, each running a 230hp engine, are the workhorses of the deck, one rigged permanently with a wakeboarding and waterskiing tow pole.
