Fountaine Pajot Samana 59

The Samana 59 is an 18-metre sailing yacht catamaran conceived for owners who prioritise hospitality, comfort and long-range cruising. As the first model in the range to feature a flybridge, it brings flagship-level luxury to bluewater adventures, with refined finishes and expansive living areas inside and out.

Its generous 18.78-metre length and 9.46-metre beam allow for exceptional freedom in layout and design. The Samana 59 offers multiple configurations, including Maestro and Lounge Maestro owner layouts and a six-cabin charter version, all designed to welcome family, friends and guests in spacious suites with dedicated ensuites. Reception areas are particularly well proportioned, from the vast saloon to the large aft cockpit and forward relaxation spaces.

The flybridge is a defining feature of the Samana 59, creating a true terrace above the water. This elevated lounge provides abundant seating, sunpads and dedicated entertaining space, making it a central hub whether at anchor or under way. The ergonomic helm is positioned at the mast base with all sail handling controls close at hand, giving the skipper excellent control and communication with the cockpit and flybridge areas.

Culinary life on board is supported by two galley options. Owners can choose a central galley in the saloon that forms a sociable island hub, or a galley-down arrangement in the port hull near crew cabins with direct access to the saloon for discreet service. The design places a strong emphasis on circulation, including a smart aft access from the owner’s suite via the bathroom, ideal when returning from a swim.

The Samana 59 is designed as a true cruising sailing catamaran, balancing high levels of comfort with capable passagemaking. With generous sail areas, twin diesel engines as standard and the option of the ODSea+ hybrid electric pack, it supports both traditional and advanced energy-efficient cruising programmes. Large freshwater and fuel capacities further enhance its autonomy for extended voyages.

Overall, the Samana 59 delivers a blend of elegant design, exceptional volumes and versatile layouts, making it well suited to private ownership, luxury charter or long-distance family cruising in contemporary comfort.
