KALIKOBASS
This beautiful 104' Fauroux / Trehard Sloop, is completing a major refit and looks stunning!  The owner opted to have the hull painted so the yacht did not make the Genoa Show as originally planned.  Her new teak decks and flush deck hatches enhance KALIKOBASS II's beautiful lines.  She has a booking for the Superyacht Cup in Palma 11 - 14 June and can accommodate a charter just after. Her calendar is filling quickly -- she currently has an opening from 15th June until her next firm booking on 13th July as well as openings 21st July - 2nd August (note:  currently under option 23rd - 30th July), 26th August to 7th September and also from 21st September on.
