Accommodation Details
CATALYST is a 2025 Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 designed for effortless luxury, generous comfort, and sun-soaked social living. Her standout feature is the expansive flybridge—the largest in her class—creating an over-the-sea terrace for daybeds, dining, sundowners, and stargazing. Below, the aft cockpit flows into a panoramic salon with an open-plan galley, while the forward bow lounge offers a breezy perch for morning coffee or sunset views.

Accommodating up to 8 guests, CATALYST offers a huge owner´s cabin with a queen bed and 3 guest cabins with queen beds, each with a private ensuite. At the waterline, a hydraulic swim platform makes swimming and launching water toys easy, adding another inviting layer to days spent outdoors. Offered only during select weeks and customized beyond the standard build, CATALYST feels polished, personal, and distinctly special.
