Fountaine Pajot CatamaránSamana 59
About this yacht
The Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 represents a significant milestone in luxury cruising catamarans. Launched in 2017, this 18.78-meter flagship introduced the first flybridge design to Fountaine Pajot's sailing range, establishing a new benchmark for bluewater cruising multihulls. With accommodation for up to 14 guests across six cabins and a shallow 1.40-meter draft, the Samana 59 combines oceanic capability with remarkable versatility. Built with a fiberglass hull and certified to CE Class A standards, this sailing yacht is engineered for open ocean passages while offering the comfort and space typically associated with motor yachts. The flybridge itself transforms the cruising experience—a private terrace on the water where passages become social occasions and anchorages extend your living space into the elements. What distinguishes the Samana 59 is its thoughtful approach to onboard hospitality. The dual-galley configuration reflects a deeper understanding of how owners actually use their vessels: a social galley centered around the main saloon for entertaining guests, and a dedicated service galley in the port hull with direct crew access. This layout enables seamless hosting whether you're welcoming family aboard for extended cruising or entertaining fellow sailors met along your route. The helm station, positioned at the mast base, consolidates all sail handling and navigation controls within easy reach. This arrangement allows single-handed or short-handed sailing without compromising performance—a critical consideration for serious cruisers covering significant distances. Innovative dual access to the owner's suite, available from both the main saloon and the aft platform, exemplifies the practical luxury woven throughout this design. After swimming or water sports, you can access your cabin directly without tracking through guest areas—a small detail that significantly enhances daily life aboard. The Samana 59's hull design and generous beam create exceptional interior volume without sacrificing sailing performance. Her spaces flow naturally from cockpit to saloon to flybridge, each area purposefully designed yet connected. The attention to finish quality is immediately apparent, from joinery details to hardware selection, reflecting Fountaine Pajot's commitment to craftsmanship. For owners seeking a capable bluewater catamaran that doesn't compromise on comfort or entertaining potential, the Samana 59 delivers a rare combination of performance, space, and refinement.
