19m Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 for Sale | 2023 | SA1903

SA1903 is a Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 for sale, asking USD 2,700,000 and lying in Hong Kong. Built in 2023, she measures 18.8m LOA on a 9.45m beam with a 1.65m minimum draft, and she is the Owner s version: 3 cabins rather than the charter layout, with the whole starboard hull given over to the owner. Twin Yanmar 4LV150 engines of 150 hp each have covered 900 hours. Tax is not paid.

The Samana 59 is the model Fountaine Pajot built when it stopped treating the flybridge as an add-on. The lounge deck sits above the saloon with its own helm, a bar and a sunbathing area, and the aft cockpit runs flush into the saloon through a full-width door so the main living space is effectively 1 room from the transom to the forward bulkhead.

A Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 for Sale in the Owner’s Layout

Layout is the first filter on any Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 for sale, and this one is the three-cabin owner s version.

The Maestro layout is the one to have and the one that is hard to find secondhand. The starboard hull becomes a single owner s apartment: island berth aft, a desk and seating amidships, and a full-length bathroom with a separate shower compartment forward. The port hull carries 2 guest cabins with their own heads. For a family or a couple who cruise with friends rather than run charter weeks, it is a far better boat than the 5 or 6 cabin versions.

Performance and Systems

Under power a Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 for sale is an easy boat to move with a small crew.

She is a sailing catamaran first. Under power the 2 Yanmar 4LV150 engines give a comfortable 9 knot passage speed, which is the number that matters for planning a Mediterranean season rather than a delivery. Draft is 1.65m, so almost every anchorage in the Dodecanese, the Gulf of Göcek and the Croatian islands is open to her, and she can lie bow-to in places a monohull of this size cannot reach.

900 hours on a 2023 boat is normal seasonal use, not hard running. The hulls, rig and systems are still young, and for a buyer this is close to the position of a new boat without the 2 year wait for a delivery slot.

Deck and Living Spaces

Deck space is the reason buyers shortlist a Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 for sale over a monohull of the same length.

The flybridge is the deck that separates this model from the rest of the range: a second helm, a wet bar, a dining table and a sunbathing area, all above the saloon and all usable at anchor. Below it the aft cockpit seats 8 around a table and runs flush into the saloon, so the boat has 1 continuous living space rather than an inside and an outside.

Forward, the foredeck carries a lounge and a trampoline area between the hulls, and there is a separate helm station on the starboard side of the cockpit for short-handed sailing. On a 9.45m beam none of these spaces crowd each other, which is the practical argument for a catamaran at this length over a monohull of the same money.

Why the Tax Position Matters

Tax status changes the real cost of a Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 for sale more than almost any other line in the listing.

Tax is not paid on this yacht, and that is a genuine opportunity rather than a problem. A buyer outside the EU can keep her under temporary admission, or import her at the point and under the regime that suits their plans. What it does mean is that the number on the listing is not the number a European buyer will end up paying, and the difference needs modelling before an offer, not after it.

Aquinox Yachting advises on exactly this: flag choice, EU or Turkish import, temporary admission, and whether to ship her from Asia or deliver on her own bottom. We work with UCT Agency in Turkey for clearance, berthing, duty-free fuel and yard work, so a catamaran arriving from Hong Kong can go straight into a Turkish shipyard for survey and commissioning before her first Mediterranean season.
