Tanna 47 - Bareboat Catamarans

The Fountaine Pajot Tanna 47 is a standout modern sailing catamaran now available for luxury yacht charter, combining generous living space with stylish contemporary design and impressive cruising comfort. Replacing the hugely successful Saona 47, the Tanna 47 builds on a proven platform while introducing significant improvements in outdoor entertaining areas, onboard flow, storage and helm ergonomics. The result is a catamaran that feels exceptionally well suited to today’s charter lifestyle: relaxed, social and effortlessly comfortable.

13.94m, 46'
Charter Type:

Whether you are planning a family sailing holiday, cruising with friends through the Mediterranean, Caribbean or South Pacific, or simply looking for a catamaran that delivers excellent onboard liveability, the Tanna 47 is a superb option.

Designed Around Space and Comfort

Two things immediately stand out aboard the Tanna 47: space and usability.

Fountaine Pajot has created a yacht that feels open and inviting from every angle. The saloon and cockpit connect seamlessly through large sliding doors, creating one expansive indoor-outdoor entertaining space ideal for life at anchor or relaxed evenings in harbour.

The galley layout is practical for charter use, with plenty of bench space, excellent refrigeration capacity and storage that seasoned sailors will appreciate. Multiple people can comfortably prepare meals together without feeling crowded. That is something not always achieved on boats of this size.

Natural light throughout the interior adds to the sense of openness, while the contemporary finishes give the boat a clean, elegant feel without becoming overly minimalist..

An Exceptional Flybridge Experience

One of the Tanna 47’s biggest upgrades over the earlier Saona 47 is the enlarged flybridge lounge.

The flybridge is now substantially bigger, creating a true social area underway as well as at anchor. Guests can relax alongside the helm rather than being separated from the sailing experience, making the boat feel connected and inclusive while cruising.

Visibility from the helm station is excellent, communication between helm and cockpit works well, and the elevated position gives a commanding view when navigating anchorages or marinas.

For many charter groups, this flybridge layout is the most popular area to spend waking time on the boat.

Flexible Cabin Layouts

The Tanna 47 is available in several configurations depending on the destination and operator fleet.

The two most common layouts are:

  • Maestro Owner’s Version (3 Cabin) — ideal for smaller groups wanting maximum privacy and comfort, featuring a large owner-style suite.
  • Quintet Version (5 Cabin) — perfect for larger charter groups or families requiring additional accommodation capacity.

In both layouts the cabins are spacious, well ventilated and thoughtfully designed, with private ensuites that offer a level of comfort increasingly expected in premium catamaran charter.

Sailing Performance and Modern Technology

While comfort is naturally the priority when cratering a cruising catamaran, the Tanna 47 also sails very well for a boat of this type.

The hull design delivers stable, predictable cruising performance, while modern sail handling systems make the yacht easy to manage under sail or manoeuvre in marina environments.

Our View

The Tanna 47 represents the direction modern catamaran charter design is heading: larger social spaces, easier onboard living, smarter use of space and a stronger connection between sailing and relaxation.

For groups wanting a modern, stylish and highly liveable charter catamaran, it is easy to see why the Tanna 47 has quickly become a popular model for charter.
