“I've been on board ARAOK more times than I can count, and she still surprises me. With space for 6 guests, she works equally well for a multi-generational family week or a tighter group of friends who want every cabin to feel like a suite. Happy to walk you through a week on board personally — there are a few details that don't make it onto any spec sheet.”

Accommodation
3 elegantly appointed cabins host up to 6 in serene comfort, served by a professional crew of 3.
Indicative layout based on 3 cabins / 6 guests. Final cabin configuration confirmed by the yacht's manager at enquiry.
