IYG has announced the sale of Kamakasa, the 44.5-meter Sanlorenzo Alloy superyacht. Congratulations to Boomer Jousma of IYG, who represented the seller, and Tony Maggio of SI Yachts, who represented the buyer.
Kamakasa is the second hull in the Sanlorenzo 44 Alloy series, offering exceptional indoor and outdoor living spaces across three distinct levels. The yacht stands out with its impressive three-level full-beam master suite, complete with a private hot tub and direct access to the bow, making it perfect for hosting and entertaining.
Additional highlights include a versatile beach club that can be transformed into a bar, lounge, or gym. This unique space opens on three sides and features lateral garage storage for a tender.
We wish the new owners many joyful memories aboard Kamakasa.
Access from the aft deck to the bow and flybridge flows seamlessly thanks to her unconventional design, with the latter presenting as one of the largest in her category. She displays a contemporary interior style, with crisp white furniture and light-grained marble, contrasting against the distinct pairing of rich wood panelling and glossy black bulkheads.
Additional features include a generous foredeck, as well as a multi-purpose beach club that can function as a bar, lounge and gym. The beach club has also been designed to open on three sides, with lateral garage space for a seven-meter tender.
