BLUESATION is a Fountaine Pajot sailing catamaran arriving for the 2026 season, a yacht built for guests who want the freedom of sail without giving up the comforts of a modern charter. On a beam close to ten metres she carries eight guests with room to spare, and her shallow draft lets her tuck into the quiet corners of a coastline that larger yachts have to keep clear of.
Her outdoor spaces are the reason to choose her. Forward, a plunge pool sits among the foredeck sunpads, a cool place to sit out the middle of the day with the sea stretching away on both sides. Aft, the cockpit is a shaded lounge and dining space that flows off the salon on a single level, the natural gathering point for a party that likes to eat, talk and watch the light change over a long evening. Above, the helm shares its deck with more seating for guests who want to be part of the sailing.
Inside, the main deck is bright and current. The salon runs in pale upholstery and light timber, wrapped in glass so the view is never far away, with a comfortable lounge on one side and the galley close at hand. It is a calm, uncluttered space, designed for easy movement between the inside and the cockpit rather than for grand gestures.
The owner’s suite is a genuine retreat, taking a full hull with its own bathroom and good natural light at the waterline. A further double and a guest cabin complete the accommodation, each finished to the same standard, making her a comfortable fit for two couples travelling together or a family who want their own corners at the end of the day. The layout keeps the sense of privacy that matters most on a yacht where the living is close.
A crew of three run her quietly, covering the sailing, the cooking and the water toys so that the days belong to the guests. Under sail she moves at an easy pace, and most of a charter is spent in short hops between anchorages, dropping the hook somewhere sheltered and turning the stern into a swimming and water sports base for the afternoon. The low steps to the water make getting in and out effortless.
That closeness to the sea is her real character. The plunge pool, the paddleboards and the snorkelling gear turn each bay into something to explore, and the shallow draft opens up beaches and coves that reward a yacht able to sit in close. For families with children the easy water access is a quiet advantage, letting them swim and play without the fuss of a high topside and a long boarding ladder.
BLUESATION is a well judged sailing catamaran that puts the experience first, elegant in a restrained way and built around time on and in the water. Her modest size is part of the appeal, letting her reach harbours and anchorages that keep the larger fleet at bay and giving the week a sense of discovery. For a western Mediterranean holiday measured in swims, long lunches and quiet anchorages, she is an easy and rewarding choice.
