Yacht Description
Brand new cat. CATALYST is a 59-foot Fountaine Pajot multihull built in 2025, set up to sleep 8 guests in 4 cabins. New boat smell, but with the practical layout you actually charter for.
Easy water access. A swim platform and boarding ladder make the “in and out all day” plan simple. Outdoor shower included. Sand shakes out, grudges do not.
Toys that earn space. You have an eFoil and a Subwing for the speed seekers, plus underwater scooters and snorkel gear for 8 when the agenda is more “look at fish” than “break personal records.” Add in 3 paddleboards, 2 two-person kayaks, a wakeboard, kneeboard, towable tube, and floating mats and you can keep everyone busy without scheduling conflicts.
Comfort basics covered. Full air conditioning, Wi‑Fi onboard, a saloon TV and indoor audio, plus a BBQ for meals that do not require shoes. Four queen cabins. Four showers.

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 1 king cabin and 3 queen cabins, 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.
