PARAISO

PARAISO offers powerful, bold performance combined with elegance and classic styling. Built by Alloy Yachts in New Zealand, she accommodates seven guests in the owner's cabin plus two ensuite guest cabins aft. Twin crew cabins are forward. All captive winches, twin cockpits and covered deck space offer much privacy and versatility.

PARAISO is a signature Fontaine design, an evolution of the proprietary Delta Form hull that Ted Fontaine
developed in collaboration with Ted Hood over the past twenty years. Her low wetted surface, high volume hull with a board down draft of 18’9”, coupled with a tall carbon sloop rig makes her an efficient and powerful world cruiser. With the centerboard up she draws only 7’1”, allowing access to her shallow-water home grounds of the east coast of Florida and the Bahamas, as well as secluded anchorages worldwide.

The large interior volume created by her hull form allowed Fontaine Design Group to create a luxurious interior that meets the dual needs for both comfortable family cruising and corporate entertaining. PARAISO is detailed in raised panel walnut and features several living and entertaining areas. A semi-enclosed pilothouse includes a relaxed dining and living space as well as a full navigation station. Below, a large deck salon incorporates a full bar and raised seating with excellent views out of the large windows.

For entertaining, the main salon with its formal dining area and deep, comfortable couches combines traditional club-style aesthetics with modern amenities such as climate control and a disappearing entertainment system. Owner’s accommodations aft include a spacious guest suite with double bed, a guest cabin with twin beds and a Pullman and the master suite, which is luxuriously appointed with a walk-in closet, exercise equipment and spacious bathroom.

The craftsmen at Alloy Yachts have constructed PARAISO with great care and quality. The design and engineering of this yacht are executed to the highest yachting standards; she is built to Lloyd’s Rules and MCA certification, with project management provided by Peter Wilson of Marine Constructio Management LLC, Newport, Rhode Island. This design and build project was organized by Ted Hood Jr. of Wellington Yacht Partners, LLC, Portsmouth, RI.
