Passions of Paradise II is a truly special sailing vessel. Designed by the renowned Sydney naval architect Grahame Parker and constructed by Jarkan Yachts. She was purpose built to operate out of Cairns to sail daily to Micaelmas Cay and the Great Barrier Reef. Completed in November 2003, she is fast, comfortable and bristling with the
most modern high performance electronics, deck
and sail hardware.
The brief was to build a boat which made a trip to the reef exciting and fun, yet retained a classy and comfortable feel. Built out of core cell (composite) fiberglass she is also very light which enhances her sailing capabilities.
No matter what the weather conditions, she will adapt. Strong winds mean exciting performance and less travelling time and calm winds mean a spacious comfortable platform to soak up the sun.
At 25 metres length overall and with a beam over 10
metres, she is one of the largest commercial sailing catamarans in Australia. More Info:
