Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
NAMASTE is a Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 catamaran launched in 2021, representing the pinnacle of contemporary French yacht design and a compelling choice for discerning clients seeking both space and elegance in Mediterranean waters. Her most distinctive feature is the expansive 30-square-meter flybridge—the largest in her class—which establishes her as an exceptional platform for entertaining and relaxation. This architectural advantage, combined with a generously proportioned 27.5-square-meter aft cockpit, creates multiple social zones that allow guests to move seamlessly between vibrant gathering spaces and intimate moments of tranquility.
At 19 meters in length, NAMASTE accommodates eight guests across four cabins comprising three double cabins and one twin cabin, all designed with the refined sensibility characteristic of Fountaine Pajot's French heritage. The galley-down layout places the main saloon at the heart of the yacht, with direct access to both the foredeck and aft deck—a configuration that naturally encourages both connection and contemplation. The foredeck features modular sunbathing stations, while the interior spaces balance contemporary comfort with the understated elegance that appeals to experienced charter clients.
The charter experience aboard NAMASTE is anchored by a professional crew of three who bring expertise and attentiveness to every aspect of your voyage. The chef specializes in Greek and Italian cuisine, crafting meals that blend local Mediterranean flavors with refined culinary technique. Their adaptability ensures each dish is tailored to guests' preferences, making dining one of the voyage's highlights. This commitment to service excellence extends throughout the yacht, where every detail reflects the thoughtful planning that defines luxury charter operations.
Based in Athens, NAMASTE is ideally positioned for exploration of Greece's most coveted sailing grounds—the Cyclades and surrounding Aegean islands. Whether chartering during the crystalline blue waters of summer or the gentle breezes of shoulder seasons, guests experience the Greek islands from an exceptional vantage point, with the freedom to anchor in secluded coves or explore vibrant island communities at their own pace.
The NAMASTE (SAMANA) charter offers an experience that honors the French philosophy of savoir-vivre while delivering the practical excellence expected by ultra-high-net-worth clientele. Available for weekly charters starting at €24,000, she represents outstanding value for families or groups seeking a sophisticated Aegean sailing experience.

What is included in the charter rate for NAMASTE (SAMANA)?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 3, insurance, and use of the onboard equipment and water toys. Fuel, food and beverages, berthing and port fees, and shore excursions are paid from the APA, and VAT is charged on the base rate. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically around 40% of the base rate, held by the captain and accounted for in full — unspent balance is refunded at disembarkation. Greek charter VAT varies by yacht and by charter, broadly between 5.2% and 24%, depending on the yacht's type, size and certification, the duration of the charter, whether it passes through international waters, and whether the yacht carries permanent professional crew. We confirm the applicable rate for NAMASTE (SAMANA) before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter NAMASTE (SAMANA)?+
NAMASTE (SAMANA) charters from €24,000 per week in low season and €35,000 in high season — a difference of about 46% between the two. In Greece, July and August are peak: the most settled weather, the busiest anchorages, and the highest rates. Late May, June, and September offer warm water and quieter islands at the low-season rate, and are what we most often recommend. The meltemi wind is strongest in July and August across the Cyclades, which is worth weighing if sea state matters to your party.
