Discover the little secret gems of South Peloponnese, the "Mythical Peloponnese" with the impressive landscapes of primitive and of diversity, wild beauty in austere, rugged lines, water and mountain escapes, castles, gorges and caves, magnificent crystal clear waters and the authentic Greek traditions on board our private boutique catamaran "Alegria", a Fountaine Pajot Saona 47.
The whole of the catamaran interior bathes in with natural light and benefits from great ventilation throughout. The galley communicates directly with the cockpit with a large sliding window. This corner also features an kitchen island bench which offers great counterspace and valuable storage. Opposite the galley is a very large L-shaped settee area, which can be customized either with a coffee table or a dinner table, also convertible into a double berth. Facing the ocean, the chart table seat is on the end of the settee.
The design of the Fountaine Pajot Saona 47 is easily recognizable and her strong lines and overall design provide her an elegant look. You will appreciate that same feeling once on board, whether inside or outside.
While the outside lines are assertive, the interior atmosphere is soft. There is plenty of natural light inside thanks to the saloon panoramic windows and skylights, whereas cabins benefit from large windows and hatches.
