A closer look
The Aft Deck Lounge
Step onto the aft deck, where the Caribbean air, thick with the scent of salt and sunshine, invigorates. This open-air salon, sheltered from the midday sun, invites languid mornings with freshly brewed coffee and spirited evening conversations under a canopy of stars. The gentle sway of the yacht at anchor provides a natural rhythm to your relaxation, a perfect setting for observing the emerald islands drift by.
Interior Sanctuary
Below deck, the main salon offers a cool, tranquil retreat from the tropical heat. Here, the indoor audio system fills the space with your chosen melodies, creating an ambience of refined comfort. Large windows frame ever-changing seascapes, inviting the outside in without compromising on a sense of private sanctuary. It’s a space designed for quiet contemplation, a good book, or engaging discussions.
The Helm's Vantage
Join the crew at the helm, where the expansive views extend to the horizon. Feel the subtle hum of the yacht as she cuts through the water, the wind a constant companion. This is where the true spirit of sailing is felt, an immersive experience for those who appreciate the art of navigation and the power of the wind. A prime spot for spotting dolphins or simply watching the world unfold.
Foredeck Sunning
The catamaran's generous foredeck nets promise blissful hours spent suspended above the turquoise. Here, the sun warms your skin as the gentle spray from the bow cools. It’s the ultimate spot for sunbathing in blissful solitude, a prime vantage point for watching vibrant sunsets, or simply gazing at the constellations that emerge with the Caribbean night.
Satellite Connection
Even amidst the tranquil expanse of the sea, stay connected with the yacht's satellite communications and Wi-Fi. Share your moments of bliss, conduct essential business, or simply browse the headlines from the comfort of your private haven. This discreet connectivity ensures peace of mind, allowing you to embrace the freedom of the ocean without losing touch entirely.
Accommodation
MIMBAW accommodates six guests across three thoughtfully appointed cabins, each a private haven designed for restful nights. The layout ensures privacy and comfort, with natural light filtering in to create an airy atmosphere. Soft linens and subtle nautical touches define these spaces, inviting a deep sleep after days filled with adventure. Each cabin provides ample storage, allowing you to unpack and settle into your floating sanctuary, waking refreshed to the gentle sounds of the sea.
The culinary journey aboard MIMBAW is a celebration of Caribbean flavours, tailored to your preferences. Your dedicated chef crafts exquisite meals using the freshest local ingredients, from succulent seafood caught that day to vibrant tropical fruits. Enjoy alfresco dining on the aft deck, where the balmy air and panoramic views enhance every bite. Each meal is an occasion, whether a casual beach picnic or a sophisticated evening repast under the stars, perfectly paired with fine wines.
While not boasting an elaborate spa, MIMBAW offers wellness through immersion in nature. The constant fresh sea air and the gentle motion of the yacht are inherently restorative. Days spent swimming in clear waters, paddleboarding at sunrise, or simply unwinding on deck with a book contribute profoundly to a sense of well-being. The tranquil Caribbean environment is a natural balm for the soul.
MIMBAW's toy chest is brimming with distractions for all ages. Dive into the crystal-clear waters with the adult water skis or wakeboard, feeling the exhilaration of slicing through the waves. Explore hidden coves on kayaks and paddleboards, or simply drift on the inflatable floating island and mats. Light fishing gear is on hand for a leisurely afternoon of angling, while beach games and a towable tube promise hours of laughter and fun for everyone.

What a yacht like MIMBAW costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on MIMBAW is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 13m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
