HIGHJINKS

HIGHJINKS is a 2014 Fountaine Pajot Sanya 57, based year-round in Athens and refitted in 2022. At 17.26 metres with a beam of 8.88 metres, she carries eight guests across four queen cabins, each en-suite, fully air-conditioned, and fitted with TV, DVD, and a sound system.

The Sanya 57 is an Olivier Racoupeau design, with interiors by Isabelle Racoupeau, and she carries the flybridge that defines the model. From up top, the helm has a clear view of the sails and the deck, and a dedicated lounge runs alongside, which becomes the natural place to sit at sunset with a glass in hand.

Down on the main deck, the salon opens onto the aft cockpit through full-height glass, and dining moves between the two as the wind allows. The foredeck carries sun mattresses and the trampoline, both within reach of the sailing action and the dolphins that work the Aegean wakes through summer.

A crew of three runs the boat, with a chef who turns the day's catch into dinner and a captain who knows the Saronic anchorages and the Cyclades crossings. The toy kit covers the family side of the charter: two-person kayak, paddleboard, wakeboard, adult and kids water skis, knee board, towable tube, snorkel gear, and two sets of fishing tackle.

From Athens she runs across to the Cyclades through summer, with the Saronic Gulf within reach when the schedule is shorter.
