Namaste is easily one of the top picks in Greece in her class. Sarah and I loved meeting the crew at the show—warm, professional, and instantly made us feel taken care of.
The chef is a major plus—the food presentation was beautiful, and more importantly, it tasted amazing. Way above the standard at this price point.
Nice layout, plenty of water toys, and an all-around solid catamaran. I wouldn’t hesitate to put clients on Namaste.
NAMASTE (SAMANA) Yacht Description
S/Y Namaste is a magnificent Fountaine Pajot Samana 59, designed to offer the perfect harmony of space, elegance, and freedom. With her breathtaking 30m² flybridge — the largest in her category — and her beautifully balanced blend of open social areas and private retreats, she invites guests to savor the art of living at sea in true French style.
Every detail of Namaste has been carefully crafted to deliver both connection and tranquility. Her expansive 27.5m² aft cockpit sets the scene for relaxed dining and social gatherings, while the foredeck features modular sunbathing lounges, ideal for soaking up the sun or enjoying quiet moments under sail. The flybridge offers spectacular panoramic views — a perfect place for sunrise yoga, afternoon cocktails, or starlit dinners. Her bright and inviting main saloon, with access to both the aft and fore decks, enhances the feeling of openness and flow throughout the yacht. With a galley-down layout, guests enjoy a spacious and elegant living area designed for effortless comfort and togetherness.
Namaste accommodates up to 8 guests in four beautifully appointed cabins: A large master suite offering refined comfort and private access to the deck, two queen-bed cabins featuring contemporary design and en-suite bathrooms, and one twin cabin with bunk beds and deck access, ideal for families or children. Every cabin is designed to provide a peaceful sanctuary, blending natural light with refined finishes.
A professional crew of three — captain, hostess, and chef — is dedicated to creating an unforgettable experience on board. Whether it’s a gourmet meal, a hidden anchorage, or a perfectly planned sailing route, every detail is tailored to your preferences.
For guests seeking adventure, Namaste offers a wide selection of water toys, ensuring endless summer fun for family and friends. Whether you’re gliding across turquoise waters, exploring secluded coves, or simply savoring a Mediterranean sunset, S/Y Namaste embodies the essence of “carpe diem” — the joy of seizing every moment at sea.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailing catamaran like NAMASTE (SAMANA), the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€4,980 - €8,715), making the charter cost €29,880 to €33,615. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
