Let the Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 luxury crewed catamaran CATALYST be the spark that lights your journey through Tahiti's most breathtaking escapes, while relaxing in the comfort of her 4 cabins that can accommodate 8 guests.Your Charter Crew:
A Tahiti charter aboard CATALYST is made even more enjoyable by an energetic crew of 2 who know how to balance polished service with an easy, welcoming atmosphere. Captain Joe leads the experience with the steady hand of a sailor who has logged more than 50,000 nautical miles, completed five transatlantic crossings and a Pacific crossing, and earned his RYA Yachtmaster Ocean certification. Alongside him is Chef Georgie, an experienced sailor in her own right, whose time on family yachts, teaching sailing, and working afloat brings an added level of confidence and versatility as you explore Tahiti’s lagoon scenery, reef-fringed anchorages, and volcanic island views.
Throughout your journey, Georgie turns dining into one of the defining pleasures of the charter. Her cooking leans into fresh, summery flavors that feel perfectly suited to Tahiti’s warm climate and relaxed rhythm, while her background as a chalet sous-chef and recent Chef Academy training ensure every plate is prepared with skill and care. From relaxed lunches between swims to beautifully presented dinners at anchor, her menus are full of character, and her much-loved desserts provide a sweet signature to end the day under the soft glow of the Polynesian sky.
What truly elevates the experience aboard CATALYST is the genuine sense of enjoyment this crew brings to each day. Joe’s calm seamanship creates peace of mind while his talent for sunset cocktails and grilled beach suppers adds a lively, memorable touch to evenings along Tahiti’s coast, and Georgie’s warm hospitality makes every guest feel immediately comfortable. With her organized approach, cheerful presence, and eye for capturing special moments through photography, your time in Tahiti feels personal, smooth, and beautifully cared for from the first lagoon morning to the final island sunset.

Overview:
Wake up to Tahiti’s blue horizon aboard CATALYST, where the Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 luxury catamaran creates a graceful setting for romance, discovery, and slow days at sea. Her contemporary features and elegant profile make every movement through French Polynesia’s reef-fringed waters feel smooth and scenic. Designed for guests who value comfort, privacy, and meaningful time together, she turns each day into a blend of relaxed connection and island adventure.
The outdoor living areas invite guests to enjoy Tahiti from every angle. On the cushioned foredeck, afternoons drift by with sun, sea breeze, and open lagoon views. From the flybridge lounge, the scenery widens beautifully, revealing volcanic peaks, palm-lined shores, and blue water stretching around the yacht. As evening arrives, the aft deck becomes the setting for a freshly prepared alfresco dining experience under pink and gold Polynesian skies. Later, guests can settle in for a private outdoor cinema night beneath the stars, with the sound of the water completing the scene.
Inside, CATALYST balances social comfort with quiet sophistication. The saloon is filled with light through wraparound windows and features a plush navy sofa for movie nights, a sleek dining table, and an open galley where your chef brings every dish to life. Natural teak tones and modern finishes create an inviting space for entertaining, relaxing, or simply cooling off between island activities. Below deck, four beautifully appointed cabins create a restful layout for guests, including an expansive master suite with a spacious bed, soft lighting, and a private en-suite, along with three additional queen cabins with private en-suites for equal comfort and privacy.
Tahiti’s scenic coastline gives the final paragraph of the journey its color and energy. With CATALYST’s collection of exciting water toys, guests can snorkel above vibrant reef life, paddleboard across calm bays, or enjoy the lagoon in a way that matches the mood of the day. From coastal culture to marine beauty and relaxed French Polynesian rhythm, CATALYST makes every moment feel close to the island and beautifully in tune with the sea.

We are having the best time onboard the Catalyst. Joe and Georgie are superstars and very easy to get along with. They have a great deal of experience and its nice to be able to share travel stories and know you are in good hands. We have also been blessed with amazing weather and have loved the couple of destinations we have visited so far. It’s really shaping up to be a fantastic week. You and your team are so good at picking the right boats and crew so we are continuing to recommend you to anyone who is interested in a boat charter. It just makes such a difference! Thank you Boatbookings.
