A quiet catamaran run on sunlight, making her own fresh water as she goes
Stephanie is a Fountaine Pajot catamaran built around a quieter way of living at sea. Solar panels charge a bank of lithium batteries, and that stored power keeps her systems running after dark, air conditioning included, without a generator turning over beneath the cabins. Guests wake to water lapping at the hulls rather than the hum of machinery, and at anchor the afterdeck stays calm enough for an unhurried breakfast or an evening drink in the shade of the bimini. She burns less fuel along the way, which matters to many who choose her, though what most notice first is simply the stillness.
Her watermaker draws on the sea itself for every litre of fresh water aboard, so there is no need to return to a harbour to fill tanks. That freedom lets her linger in quieter bays for as long as the mood holds. Below, each cabin has its own bathroom, so every guest enjoys the same privacy and comfort, with no one taking the lesser berth. Starlink WiFi keeps those who must stay in touch connected, while the salon TV, the Fusion, Denon and ArtSound systems and Bose speakers bring music to deck and saloon alike. Scrabble, jenga and backgammon wait for slower afternoons.
For those who like their days on the water busy, the Dinghy Highfield Yamaha tows water skis, a wakeboard, a kneeboard, a tube and the Airstream Towable, while a Seabob offers a quieter thrill beneath the surface. A paddleboard, a canoe and snorkel gear suit gentler exploring. The Infinity Island Inflatable Dock gives swimmers somewhere to rest beside her, and the Infinity Pool inflatable Sea Pool makes an enclosed patch of sea for less confident swimmers, with Connelly Party Cove Noodle DeLuxe floats for idling. A deck shower rinses off the salt, and an elliptical trainer, TRX, a weights set, elastic bands and yoga mats keep a morning routine going.
Her crew pairs a captain, who chooses the anchorages and handles the navigation, with a chef cooking aboard, a stewardess looking after the cabins and table, and a deckhand running the tender and the toys. Together they let guests leave the practical side of the voyage entirely to others. She cruises in Greece, where her independence from harbours and her silent nights at anchor suit the rhythm of island waters well. Under the sun awning, with the generator silent and fresh water to spare, she is a yacht for travelling slowly and comfortably, wherever the day leads.
