Nauta Design studio has published the photos and shared the details of the 35.51-metre sailing yacht named Kiboko 4
Nauta Design took part in the development of the project’s concept along with Farr Yacht Design and Southern Wind shipyard.
The Kiboko 4 is the second unit in the new SW108 series. The first one was the Gelliceaux, which was launched in 2023 and won some of the world’s most prestigious regattas in 2024 – the St Barths Bucket and the Ibiza JoySail. Now the new Kiboko 4 can also boast a prestigious trophy, as she became the Sailing Yacht of the Year at World Superyacht Awards held by Boat International in Venice early in May 2025.
The Judges' choice was determined both the Kiboko’s visual aesthetics and advanced engineering. This racer/cruiser sailing yacht showcases comfort, superb racing potential and long-range capabilities.
The Kiboko 4 is equipped with a lifting keel and an innovative opening transom. Behind it, there is a garage that can accommodate a 5-metre tender. When the tender is on the water, the garage transforms into a beach club, which is really rare for sailing yachts.
The exterior design features modern, clean and dynamic lines. The layouts developed by Nauta Design allow the guests and the crew move about the boat easily, while staying within the protection of the coamings. The guest cockpit features C-shaped settees on both sides under a bimini top. But the most interesting detail is probably the aft tail of the coach roof that recalls a stylized lightning bolt, making the yacht look agile and dynamic.
The Kiboko 4’s interior, which is also owed to Nauta Design, combines modern and traditional marine style with light oak and gentle touches of darker walnut used for finishes, while fabrics and eco-leather of warm shades and abundance of natural light add to the hospitable “Mediterranean” atmosphere.
There are four ensuite cabins for the owner and the guests, and crew quarters at the bow.
