NAMASTE (SAMANA)

Cyclades in summer, Saronic Islands in winter, Athens at the centre of every itinerary. NAMASTE is a Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 from 2021, based year-round at Marina Zea on the south side of Athens, working both seasons inside Greek waters.

She runs 18.78 metres on deck with a 9.46-metre beam and a 1.65-metre draft, drawn by Berret-Racoupeau and built at La Rochelle, set up for relaxed coastal cruising at 8 knots under power. A Greek crew of three runs the boat: captain, chef, and stewardess.

Eight guests sleep in four en-suite cabins. The master suite has direct deck access and the run of one hull, two queens take the rest of the accommodation, and a fourth twin bunk cabin suits children, teenagers, or accompanying staff. The galley-down layout keeps the main saloon free for guests, with full-height glass to the aft cockpit and natural light through the day.

The flybridge is the social heart: a long upper deck with dining for the full table, sun loungers, and views over the anchorage. Forward, a recessed bow seating area and full-width sunpads turn the foredeck into a separate lounge. Water sports cover the Greek week: Seabob, two paddleboards, two-person kayak, wakeboard, adult and kids water skis, knee board, towable, snorkel for ten, and fishing tackle. Water maker, ice maker, BBQ, and on-board fitness kit fill the long anchorages.

From Athens she works the Cyclades in summer and the Saronic in winter, with all charters starting and ending at Marina Zea.
