Fountaine Pajot
Samana 59
Delivered to Croatia in Q1 2025. The owner spent months working with the Fountaine Pajot atelier to make this one his own.
A personal statement,
not just a charter yacht
She arrived straight from the factory — but nothing about her feels standard.
NIKA I's owner spent months working with the Fountaine Pajot atelier, selecting every fabric, every material, and every optional upgrade to create a yacht with a genuinely warm, unhurried character. The result is a vessel that feels as though it belongs to someone who loves sailing — rather than one designed by committee for the charter market.
The Samana 59 turned heads when it launched at the European boat shows. The flybridge is the largest ever put on a production catamaran of this length. The open-plan deck saloon moves the galley up to the main deck. The VIP suite takes up two-thirds of the starboard hull. These were the features that made the model different — and NIKA I has all of them.
NIKA I goes further still. A 40kW battery bank powers silent, permanent air conditioning throughout — no generator noise at night, no running engine at anchor. Blue underwater lights transform evening anchorages. A full water sports arsenal — sea scooters, wakeboard, kayak, paddleboards, and more — sits ready from the moment you drop anchor.
Her crew doesn't change between seasons. Three people, same faces, same knowledge of these waters — because that actually matters.
What sets
NIKA I apart
The Samana 59 holds the record for the most spacious flybridge in its class — an elevated open deck with raised cockpit, unobstructed Adriatic views, dining for eight, and enough room to genuinely spread out.
A 40kW battery bank powers the climate control system permanently and silently — no generator running while you sleep, no mechanical noise at anchor. Every cabin, every night: crisp, cool, quiet. A rare specification among charter vessels at any price.
Four queen cabins, all ensuite. The VIP master suite runs two-thirds of the starboard hull — more space than most hotel rooms. No one gets the small cabin, because there isn't one.
Wakeboard, adult and junior water skis, 2× stand-up paddleboards, 2-person kayak, inflatable donut and banana, 2× underwater sea scooters, and 8 sets of snorkelling gear. All aboard, all included — a complete toys list that matches any private superyacht.
Captain Toni Ljubović and his crew of two return every season. They know where to anchor in Šolta when Hvar is full, which konoba to call ahead for a table, and how to read what a group actually wants from the day. They've been on this boat from the start.
Unlimited still and sparkling water flows throughout your charter — cold, clean, always on hand.
Blue underwater lighting transforms evening anchorages into something cinematic. Blue mast lights give NIKA I a distinctive presence in any harbour at night. Modular foredeck sun stations, sun awnings, bimini, deck shower, and a 4.20m tender with 60hp outboard always standing by.
