Yacht Description
Brand new, big platform. NIKA I is a 2025 Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 catamaran (18.6m) that sleeps 8 guests in 4 en suite double cabins, and the 9.46m beam is the reason it feels like a floating terrace instead of a hallway.
Outdoor living wins. You get a largest-in-class flybridge with helm and sunpads, plus a foredeck with trampolines and sunken seating for the “we’re not going inside yet” hours. Shade or sun. Your call.
Water access, simplified. The retractable aft swim platform drops you to sea level for easy swimming and toy-launching, then comes back up to extend the aft deck when you want dry feet and drinks that stay upright.
Toys for actual use. A 4.20m tender with 50hp gets you moving, while the lineup covers water ski, wakeboard, a 2-person kayak, 2 SUPs, 2 underwater scooters, snorkeling gear for 8, and inflatables (plus a BBQ onboard for the post-swim reset).
