Zero-emission cruising in a luxury catamaran has been possible for years.
However, zero-emission cruising without compromise is what changes with the launch of Fountaine Pajot’s Samana 59 ODSea+ all-electric.
Previous electric yacht systems required careful energy rationing, charging stops, or hybrid generators as backup. The Samana 59 eliminates these limitations with an integrated solar and battery platform designed for extended offshore cruising, not just weekend sailing.
We can tell you this represents the genuine breakthrough the industry needed: a production catamaran from Fountaine Pajot that delivers weeks of autonomous power, complete system operation including air conditioning, and the confidence to cruise the way you’ve always wanted.
Coming to Miami: February 11-15, 2026 – click here to RSVP!
This February, ACY Yachts invites you to witness history at the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show. The Samana 59 ODSea+ makes its world premiere at IGY Yacht Haven Grande Miami, marking your first opportunity anywhere in the world to step aboard this groundbreaking catamaran.
As Fountaine Pajot’s top-selling dealer worldwide, we’re bringing our complete lineup to showcase alongside this revolutionary all-electric flagship. Our team will be on-site to discuss how electric propulsion changes the ownership experience and to answer every technical question.
What Does “All-Electric” Really Mean for Your Cruising Experience?
When we discuss electric propulsion with our clients, the first question we hear is always practical: “Can I cruise the way I want to cruise, or am I constantly worrying about battery charge?”
The Samana 59 ODSea+ answers this question definitively.
The system centers on a 60 kWh battery bank paired with an expansive 42m² solar array generating 8,500 watts.
Here’s what that means for you: genuine energy independence at anchor for weeks at a time while running all your systems, air conditioning included.
Without engine noise or generator rumble, you’ll experience anchorages the way they were meant to be experienced. Morning coffee in a pristine bay becomes even more peaceful. Entertaining guests on the flybridge no longer requires talking over machinery.
But what about passages under power?
The electric motors deliver smooth, responsive thrust that our clients tell us feels more refined than traditional diesel propulsion. The instant torque provides confident maneuvering in tight marina situations, something we know matters when you’re handling a 59-foot catamaran in crosswinds.
The Technology That Makes It Work
We’ve seen plenty of green yacht concepts over the years. What sets the Samana 59 ODSea+ apart is the integration of proven systems designed specifically for the demands of blue-water cruising.
The hydraulic regeneration system captures energy while sailing, essentially turning your passage-making into battery charging.
This innovative approach means every mile under sail contributes to your energy reserves, a concept our more technically minded clients find particularly satisfying.
What many yacht owners don’t realize is how much energy modern cruising requires. Refrigeration, watermakers, electronics, climate control… these systems demand constant power. The Samana 59’s 8,500-watt solar capacity addresses this reality head-on.
The smart energy management system automatically prioritizes solar generation, monitors battery health, and optimizes power distribution across all onboard systems. In our experience commissioning dozens of Fountaine Pajot yachts, we know that reliability comes from thoughtful system design, not just advanced technology. The ODSea+ platform demonstrates exactly this philosophy.
Beyond Zero Emissions: The Complete Samana 59 Experience
The all-electric propulsion headlines the innovation, but the Samana 59 delivers the complete luxury cruising package that Fountaine Pajot’s flagship range is known for.
The flybridge represents the largest in its category, creating what our clients consistently describe as their favorite entertaining space, a proper terrace on the water with seating for eight and panoramic views that make every anchorage feel like a private resort.
Inside, the craftsmanship behind every detail reflects Fountaine Pajot’s 50 years of refining the art of catamaran construction. The owner’s suite features dual access—from the saloon and from the aft deck—a convenience that transforms daily life aboard. After a swim, you can access your cabin directly without tracking through the entire boat.
The dual galley configuration addresses something we discuss in nearly every consultation with serious cruisers: how do you maintain privacy and comfort when entertaining while also managing daily life aboard? The Samana 59’s solution is elegant: a social galley with a central island for guest interaction, plus a service galley in the port hull with direct access to crew quarters.
Innovation Built on Heritage
The Samana 59 ODSea+ represents an evolution of Fountaine Pajot’s design philosophy.
The hull design maintains the performance characteristics that have made Fountaine Pajot the world’s leading catamaran manufacturer. The build quality meets the same ISO 9001 V2000 standards that give us confidence commissioning these yachts for extended offshore cruising. The spacious, light-filled interiors reflect the same design language that our clients have loved for decades.
What’s changed is the propulsion, and in our experience, that change enhances everything else. The elimination of engine noise and vibration makes every moment aboard more pleasant. The reduced maintenance requirements mean more time enjoying your yacht and less time managing systems. The environmental benefits align with the values we increasingly hear from the next generation of yacht owners.
The Practical Realities of Electric Cruising
We believe in honest conversations about yacht ownership, so let’s address the questions we know experienced cruisers are asking.
Range under power? The battery capacity and regeneration systems provide what our technical team estimates as a practical motoring range for typical cruising scenarios: entering and leaving anchorages, maneuvering in marinas, and motorsailing in light air.
For extended motor passages, the intelligent energy management helps maximize available power.
Charging infrastructure? Solar provides the primary charging source, making you independent of shore facilities. For those planning extensive Mediterranean cruising or higher-latitude voyages where solar may be less abundant, the system accommodates shore power charging at equipped marinas.
Cold weather performance? Battery systems perform optimally in tropical and temperate climates where most catamaran cruising occurs. For owners planning higher-latitude adventures, our technical team provides detailed guidance on energy management strategies.
Who This Yacht Serves
In our work with hundreds of successful boat owners, we see the Samana 59 ODSea+ appealing to several distinct groups:
Environmentally conscious cruisers who’ve been waiting for sustainable technology that doesn’t compromise on capability or luxury. These are clients who want their values reflected in every aspect of their ownership experience.
Experienced sailors upgrading from smaller catamarans who appreciate the Samana range’s hospitality-focused design and now have access to cutting-edge propulsion technology.
Owners considering our Business Yacht Ownership® approach recognize that charter guests increasingly seek sustainable luxury experiences. The Samana 59 ODSea+ positions itself at the forefront of this market trend.
Multi-generational families who want the space, comfort, and entertainment capacity of Fountaine Pajot’s flagship range, combined with the quiet operation that makes extended time aboard more enjoyable for everyone.
