ARAOK | Luxury Crewed Catamaran

At the heart of your Sardinian escape is Captain Sylvain Lesniak, a compelling seaman whose experience brings a special kind of energy to ARAOK. He leads this crew of 3 with the confidence of someone who has lived close to the sea for years, first in the French Navy and then across the commercial sailing world, building a skill set that blends discipline, technical mastery, and natural ease at the helm. His credentials, from Yacht Master Ocean to Medical 3 and advanced STCW safety training, do more than impress on paper. They shape an onboard atmosphere where guests feel free to enjoy Sardinia’s anchorages with complete trust in the person guiding the journey. Supported by Chef Christelle Vannier and Stewardess Cloé Amoros, Sylvain turns each day onboard into something that feels both secure and genuinely exciting.

Then there is Chef Christelle Vannier, whose role on board is felt from the first coffee of the morning to the final course at dinner. Christelle brings more than two decades of experience in yachting, along with a rich background in guest service, sailing, and long ocean passages, giving her cooking an understanding of life onboard that goes far beyond the galley. Her menus feel thoughtful, expressive, and full of personality, shifting naturally with the destination and the mood of the day. Whether serving a relaxed lunch after hours in the water or an elegant dinner as the light fades over Sardinia, she creates food that guests do not simply enjoy, but look forward to all day.

Completing the experience is Cloé Amoros, whose service style is warm, capable, and quietly impressive. Her background across both deck and interior roles gives her the flexibility to support the flow of the yacht while making guests feel wonderfully looked after in every small detail. With Sylvain bringing command and character to the charter, Christelle making every meal feel memorable, and Cloé adding comfort and grace to the days onboard, ARAOK becomes much more than a yacht in Sardinia. It becomes a place where every element feels considered, personal, and deeply rewarding.

Life onboard ARAOK allows Northern Sardinia to be experienced in a way that feels unhurried and deeply rewarding, with enough flexibility to let the best parts of the journey happen naturally.

The result is a charter that feels rich in texture and atmosphere, with the yacht itself becoming part of what makes the destination so enjoyable.

Once the season turns, ARAOK relocates to the Caribbean and is based in St. Barths for your exclusive seven-day Caribbean yachting itinerary.

Overview:
The charm of ARAOK begins long before the first anchorage, in that first moment leaving Olbia when Sardinia opens out ahead and the week seems full of possibility. The Fountaine Pajot Ipanema 58 luxury catamaran glides through the island’s waters with a sleek gray exterior and a stable, easy movement that makes the entire experience feel calm from the outset. Designed with spaces for socializing, recreation, and relaxation, she welcomes guests into a charter that feels warm, well-paced, and full of beautiful contrasts. It is the kind of yacht that makes the destination feel closer, softer, and more enjoyable with every passing hour.

The flybridge is where much of that feeling first takes hold, with well-appointed seating and a dining area that brings everyone together in full view of the coast. Champagne tastes particularly good up here, where the breeze, the light, and the setting do half the work of making the moment memorable. Porto Cervo offers a stylish change of scene once ashore, with designer shopping, a polished marina atmosphere, and elegant cocktails by the waterfront that let the afternoon drift toward evening in the best possible way. Later, the aft deck becomes the heart of the yacht again, where alfresco dining in a Sardinian bay turns dinner into part of the scenery rather than a pause from it.

Forward on the yacht, the sun-kissed foredeck provides a more peaceful kind of pleasure, inviting guests to lounge, unwind, and let the rhythm of the sea settle everything down. It is a place where the day can slow beautifully, especially when paired with nothing more than sunshine and uninterrupted blue. Then comes La Maddalena, where anchoring in clear turquoise waters gives you the chance to swim, float, and take in one of the island group’s most inviting natural settings. The water here has a way of pulling you in, making it difficult to resist one last dip before moving on.

Inside, the contemporary and stylish interior feels bright and welcoming, with teak accents that add depth and softness to the design. Large glass windows flood the saloon and dining area with natural light, giving the main living spaces a warm and airy feel that works just as well for lively gatherings as it does for quieter moments indoors. The cozy cabins, each with private bathrooms, create a restful end to every day, making it easy to recharge in comfort before the next anchorage.

With water sports equipment onboard for snorkeling, paddleboarding, and exploring Sardinia’s coastline from a more playful perspective, ARAOK delivers a charter experience that feels scenic, engaging, and genuinely alive.
