LE PONANT

LE PONANT is a 277-foot (84.3 m) sailing yacht built by the Société Française de Construction Navale in 1990 and refitted in 2022, chartering in Croatia and Greece, with the south of France, Cape Verde and the Caribbean also in her programme. She welcomes up to 32 guests in 16 cabins, all with king beds: 16 king, and the cabins are convertible, so they can be arranged as twins. A crew of 34, including a head chef, looks after the group, and Seabobs give guests a way to enjoy the water. A three-masted sailing yacht of this scale is a rare experience, suited to celebrations, corporate events and large private parties. Croatia's Dalmatian coast is dotted with islands, walled towns and sheltered coves, so each day can bring a new anchorage and a different style of waterfront dining. The short distances between Croatian islands mean more time swimming and exploring and less time under way, which suits groups with a mix of interests.
