Samara is a 24 metre Pachoud motor catamaran that trades the narrow lines of a monohull for something wider, calmer and far more usable at anchor. Delivered in 2016 and refitted in 2025, she carries eight guests in four cabins across a layout that a single hull of her length could not hold: a private owner deck, a full sky lounge above the main salon, and a stern beach club that opens straight onto the water.
The catamaran platform is the point of her. Two hulls carry a beam close to ten metres, which means the decks are broad and level and the boat sits still at anchor where a monohull would roll. That stability shows up everywhere, from the spa pool set into the sundeck to the dining table forward of it, both of them places you can actually use rather than admire.
The sundeck is her best room. A spa pool sits in the teak with jets running, a bar and stools a step away and folding shade drawn overhead, and it fills first each morning. Forward on the same deck a full dining table catches the evening light. Aft and a level down, the deck steps into a beach club at the waterline, a shaded lounge that runs onto the swim platform and the watersports kit, so the sea is never more than a few steps from wherever the group has settled.
Inside, the main salon runs across the full beam in pale timber and cream, the seating and galley in one open room with glass on three sides. A separate sky lounge sits above it, a quieter room set apart from the group with long windows that hold the sunset, and the forward end of the main salon carries its own media wall for a film out of the sun. Keeping three distinct interior rooms on a 24 metre boat is the sort of thing only the width of a catamaran allows.
The master takes a private position with a wide bed, its own seating and a run of hull windows, set apart from the guest accommodation. A double guest cabin and a twin follow in the same palette, each with its own bathroom, so a family travelling together has room for everyone.
Her equipment list reads longer than the length suggests: a hammam, an outdoor cinema, and a watersports kit that runs to e-foils, two Sea-Doo Sparks, Sea Scooters, paddleboards and kayaks off an eight metre tender. Four crew keep it all moving for eight guests.
Samara charters the Greek islands through the summer, and the platform suits the ground exactly. The wide, stable decks make the long lunches and the quiet anchorages the point of the trip rather than a pause between passages, and the beach club turns every stop into swimming water. For a group that wants space and calm over top speed, a motor catamaran of this kind is hard to better at the price, and the width that makes her steady at anchor is the same width that gives every guest a deck to themselves when they want one.
