Nauta is proud to share the remarkable design work of Southern Wind’s KIBOKO 4, the second 35.51-metre SW108 sailing yacht — a combination of performance, elegance and innovation.

KIBOKO 4 follows in the footsteps of her predecessor, GELLICEAUX, which demonstrated her full racing potential by winning the first two regattas she participated in during 2024: the St Barths Bucket (both overall and in her division) and the Ibiza JoySail (Performance Cruising L division).

She has also just won the prestigious World Superyacht Award organised and held by Boat International in Venice, in the “Sailing Yacht of the Year” category.

The Owner’s design brief focused on optimising the sailing experience, achieving faster passage-making, superior handling and exceptional comfort — whether racing in superyacht regattas or cruising in Mediterranean waters. With naval architecture by Farr Yacht Design, Nauta’s input provided a stunning example of how thoughtful and refined design can elevate both aesthetic appeal and lifestyle quality.

“We wanted to create something that embodies the owner’s vision of blending performance with beauty, all while offering the versatility required for both thrilling regatta sailing and serene cruising,” says Nauta CEO Massimo Gino. “The result is a yacht that feels at home in any setting, be it racing or anchored in a quiet bay.”

KIBOKO 4 stands as a compelling testament to what is possible when expert naval architecture and sensitive interior design work in harmony — a vessel built not just to race, but to inspire.
