This 12-meter Fusion 40 catamaran is made for good times, think roomy decks for mingling, lounging, and dancing with up to 30 friends, family, or colleagues. The open-plan space blends the best of indoor comfort and outdoor fun, so you can kick back on plush lounges or gather around the tables for a feast. Up front, bask in the sun on daybeds or the twin trampolines, and when you’re feeling adventurous, hop off the swimming ladder for a splash or try the free stand-up paddleboards and inflatable dancefloor.
