Yacht Description

“A 50ft Fountaine Pajot from 2014.”

Purpose is our exceptionally elegant Fountaine Pajot Saba 50 catamaran, currently navigating the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean. This remarkably spacious luxury yacht is designed to capture and diffuse natural light throughout the salon, galley, and cabins, creating a bright, airy, and welcoming atmosphere on board. From the moment you step aboard, you will be struck by the generous volumes dedicated to relaxation, comfort, and shared enjoyment.

The open-plan layout seamlessly connects the salon and cockpit, fostering a wonderful sense of conviviality when spending special moments with family or friends. A clever sliding window beside the galley sink allows meals to be passed directly to the cockpit, perfectly suited to life on board, as most dining aboard Purpose takes place al fresco.

Ascending to the flybridge, you are rewarded with a panoramic, breezy bird’s-eye view of the surrounding seascape. An inviting open-air lounge area beside the helm provides the perfect setting to relax while listening to the captain’s adventurous tales as you sail. At anchor, the forward sunbathing lounge offers a shaded, comfortable haven—ideal for peaceful moments of relaxation.

Purpose is the Quintet version of the Saba 50, offering five guest cabins in total: three located in the port hull and two in the starboard hull. A sixth cabin, situated mid-starboard, is reserved for the crew. All guest cabins feature private en-suite bathrooms, ensuring comfort and privacy for every guest.

A wide glass door separates the interior from the exterior living spaces, yet both are on the same level, allowing effortless movement between inside and out. Overhead hatches and expansive windows flood the yacht with natural light and offer beautiful sea views—even while seated—further enhancing the sense of openness and connection with the ocean.

After completing the Caribbean season, Purpose will continue her grand circumnavigation and set course for the South Pacific. She will be based in French Polynesia, where she will be available for charter from July 2026 until October 2027, offering guests the opportunity to explore one of the world’s most breathtaking cruising grounds aboard a refined and proven blue-water catamaran.

Had lunch on Purpose at the BVI yacht show in 2025.

Was an excellent experience, with great service from the crew. Everyone on board is super spritely and attentive, and I never had to ask for anything.

Would highly recommend!

Onboard catamaran PURPOSE. I was honestly instantly sold as soon as I stepped onboard. She is an older boat with lots of soul. And 3 crew for an extremely good price. The reason is their main focus is elevated service with a huge focus on food. Chef Michael Makonnen is a star specializing in Ethiopian food, but do all sorts! It smell ms amazing right now as he is prepping for lunch. And the breakfast spread is very impressive!

Charter Reviews

Purpose
PURPOSE charter review
From the moment we stepped aboard the catamaran, it was evident we had made an exceptional choice. The vessel offered abundant space, allowing everyone to find their own comfortable corner whether seeking sun, shade, or a quiet moment to enjoy the sea breeze.

The crew truly elevated our experience with their professional yet personable approach. Their accommodating nature and flexibility with our itinerary meant we could truly customize our journey. Whether we wanted to linger longer at a particularly stunning cove or adjust our schedule for optimal swimming conditions, they graciously adapted to our preferences without hesitation.

The catamaran itself was impeccably maintained—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. Sleeping quarters provided a restful retreat after days filled with adventure, while the common areas offered plenty of room for our group to gather without ever feeling crowded.

Perhaps the most unexpected highlight was the culinary experience onboard. The cook's talents were simply extraordinary, preparing meals that consistently impressed our entire party. The food was so exceptional that we abandoned our initial plans to dine at local restaurants—nothing could compete with the fresh, delicious meals being served on deck. From breakfast to dinner, each dish was prepared with skill and care that would rival upscale dining establishments.

For anyone considering a private charter experience, I cannot recommend this catamaran and crew highly enough. They transformed what would have been a lovely vacation into an unforgettable journey of comfort, freedom, and indulgence on the water.

WOW! WOW! WOW!
We had the most amazing time! PURPOSE is absolutely incredible! The catamaran is luxurious - pristine and in perfect condition. Everything is new with comfortable bedding, ample padded seating everywhere, and tons of fun water toys! And the crew - WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! That's how to describe Captain Florian, Sisi, and Chef Mike! Talk about hospitality - their service is world class!!! They met with us ahead of time to customize our trip, and everything was specially tailored to us - from the itinerary to menu to drinks. The food is absolutely divine! We felt like we were at a Michelin-star restaurant the entire trip. Meals were delicious, varied, creative, with beautiful presentation - all catered to our preferences and food sensitivities. We had tuna, snapper, duck, beef, curry in many cuisines - Caribbean, Asian, Italian, Mediterranean, and even Ethiopian! We had the right balance of activities and relaxation - spending each day exactly as we wanted, whether snorkeling with turtles and sting rays, hiking, checking out the towns, fishing, chilling, and of course plenty of sailing.

PURPOSE is a 5-star luxury catamaran with a world-class crew and top-rate food! Strongly recommend!!!! 10 out of 10!!

Purpose
Exceeded Expectations
This trip exceeded our expectations by a mile. This was our first experience with a crewed cat and chef and after one day I was wondering why we bareboat sailed all those years, shopping, cooking & cleaning.
Our captain, Florian, was incredibly accommodating. He was so thorough on instructions around the boat and picked a really diverse itinerary. He also chose anchorages that were within a short swim to excellent snorkeling. He pointed out things to us as we went along and was engaging and a very cheerful fellow.
And Michael his crew and chef made wonderful meals, snacks and desserts and we never had to lift a finger.
All in all it was a dreamy vacation made all the more so by having a well appointed cat, and an excellent captain and chef/crew. We’d follow them around the world if we could.“

All the best

Sailing the Grenadines with Captain Florian and First-Mate Mike
We had a group of 8 guest and really enjoyed a wonderful week being pampered by Florian and Mike
Floria guided us to many wonderful sights as well as some private and quiet spots. Purpose is a terrific yacht and easily accommodated us
Prince Michael treated us to one great meal after another such that we did not even want to leave our yacht to eat elsewhere

Purpose
Grenadines
Embarked on a charter for 4 couples through the Grenadines with Florian and Mike
We had chosen the Grenadines as it is less crowded than the BVI and some slightly longer sailing stretches
Purpose was more than adequate for the waters and Florian took us to many beautiful anchorages as well as some of his private locations. Florian is also obviously very confident with his craft as he demonstrated many times that he can handle the yacht by himself
Our meals were also absolutely terrific. Chef Mike did and amazing job creating unique meals and presentations that we did not expect out on such a cruise. Most of us did not want to
Leave the yacht to even experiment dining ashore.

What a great way to truly unwind for a week! Florian and Camille were fantastic hosts and went out of their way to make our week onboard the Purpose fantastic. There were four of us in total – Mom, Dad and two kids – and Florian was able to create the perfect itinerary for us from Nassau down to Staniel Cay and back. We hit the popular spots, but Florian also had a few hidden gems that he had found exploring that really stood out to us. To top it all off, Camille did a wonderful job with every meal and really made them special with extra touches along the way. We all went home with big smiles and are, like others, talking about our next visit!

Our trip was amazing, thanks to the crew. Florian was fantastic. Our group ranged in age from 8-84 and we all loved our trip and have started talking about the next one. Florian paid special attention to each of us and helped us enjoy our time on Purpose. Highly recommend.

Go With the Flo (Florian)
Purpose is such a beautiful sailing vessel and the captain and cook are the friendliest crew to be on board with! Highly recommend choosing Purpose for your charter, and make sure to have Flo set the scene for a catamaran dance party! Nothing but good things to say!
