Long Island - 26.21m

JFA's 2028 catamaran Long Island cuts through Caribbean trades and Mediterranean summer winds with equal authority, her 26.21-meter twin hulls designed for the kind of extended passages that define serious blue-water cruising. From the Windwards to the Grenadines, or threading through the Cyclades toward Turkey's turquoise coast, she delivers the stability and space that transforms ambitious itineraries from endurance tests into genuine pleasure. Her catamaran configuration opens possibilities unavailable to monohull yachts of similar length. Shallow draft means access to secluded anchorages where deeper vessels cannot venture—hidden coves in the British Virgins, the protected waters behind Formentera's salt flats, or the crystalline shallows of the Bahama Banks. Wide beam translates to living space that feels more akin to a beachfront villa than a traditional yacht, particularly valuable during longer passages when guests spend consecutive days aboard. The twin-hull platform excels in the steady trade wind sailing that defines the world's premier cruising grounds. Where conventional yachts heel and pitch through the consistent fifteen-to-twenty-knot winds of the Caribbean winter or the Aegean summer, Long Island maintains level decks and comfortable motion. Dining remains civilized, sleeping undisturbed, and deck activities possible even when making serious miles between islands. JFA's approach to this 2028 design emphasizes the practical requirements of extended cruising over fleeting aesthetics. Systems and spaces reflect the realities of life aboard during week-long passages or month-long itineraries. Storage accommodates the provisioning required for reaching remote archipelagos. Layout facilitates the kind of easy entertaining that turns evening anchorages into memorable gatherings. At anchor, her twin-hull stability creates a platform for the full range of water sports that define modern yacht cruising. Diving, fishing, swimming, and tender operations all benefit from decks that remain level regardless of wind direction or tidal movement. The catamaran serves as base camp for exploring reef systems, archaeological sites, or simply the succession of pristine beaches that reward those willing to venture beyond the standard charter circuits.
