At a glance
Le Ponant is an 84.3 m (277 ft) sailing superyacht built in 1990 and refitted in 2022. She sleeps 32 guests with 34 crew. She is available for crewed charter from €540,000 a week, cruising the Western Mediterranean and the Eastern Mediterranean.
LE PONANT is a unique vessel that has just benefited from a complete ‘rebuild’ so the interior and exterior decks are all new. The layout was updated to create 16 large comfortable guest suites, and the schedule for 2023 and 2024 takes her to some stunning destinations that would be ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunities to explore with extended family and friends.
She sails beautifully and the Captain and crew make the most of every opportunity to sail rather than motor. The experience of sailing on LE PONANT is wonderful, with minimal running rigging the crew are able to leave the expansive deck areas free for guests to relax while silently cruising under sail. Her rigging design is impressive for those who are sailing enthusiasts, as she uses giant hydraulic rams to trim the sails.
The cuisine on board is outstanding, and a big part of the experience. The Execuitve Chef is French and there is a team of five in total in the galley.
The crew also includes an Expedition Leader and expert Naturalist, who will be able to guide the guests to ensure the most memorable experiences for both adults and children. Note the four expedition style Zodiac tenders are intended for real exploration of the ultra wild coastlines that LE PONANT will visit.
Choose from the available dates in the wild and wonderful area of the Kimberleys in northern Australia, or Indonesia and Papua. The itinerary on offer in any of these places is full of genuine excitement both above and below the water… rarely available to see while enjoying such luxury as LE PONANT and her crew offer.
