PURPOSE, a Fountaine Pajot sailing yacht, beckons those who seek intimate passage through Oceania's azure expanses.

A closer look

On Board

Aft Deck Al Fresco

The aft deck serves as the heart of outdoor living. Beneath the shaded hardtop, a large dining table invites convivial meals, whilst the integrated BBQ perfumes the air with fragrant smoke. From here, the gentle hum of the ocean is a constant companion, and the broad swim platform, easily accessible, offers an immediate connection to the surrounding waters. It’s a space designed for lingering conversations and the simple pleasure of sea breezes.

On Board

Saloon's Panoramic Vista

Step inside the main saloon, where large windows frame the ever-shifting seascape. The interior design, a testament to Berret-Racoupeau's vision, balances natural light with comfortable furnishings. Here, an indoor audio system sets the mood, and a discreet TV saloon offers moments of quiet reprieve. It’s a climate-controlled sanctuary where one can unwind with a book or simply observe the marine spectacle unfolding beyond the glass.

On Board

Foredeck Lounge

Forward, the catamaran's twin hulls create an expansive foredeck, a sun-drenched haven for relaxation. Plush sunpads beckon for hours spent soaking up the warmth, perhaps with the gentle spray of the ocean on your skin. This open expanse is ideal for morning meditations as the sun rises, or for stargazing under the vast, unpolluted skies of Oceania, far from shore lights.

On Board

Galley's Culinary Hub

The galley, designed for efficiency and ease, is where the crew crafts delectable meals. Though not a guest space, its presence ensures a seamless culinary journey, with fresh, local ingredients transformed into memorable dishes. The proximity to both indoor and outdoor dining areas means that every meal, from a casual breakfast to a more formal dinner, is served with effortless grace and precision.

On Board

Helm and Navigation

The flybridge helm station offers commanding views and a sense of connection to the yacht's journey. Guests are occasionally invited to observe the navigation, gaining insight into the intricate dance of sailing. It provides a unique perspective of the yacht's movement across the waves, the interplay of wind and sail, and the vastness of the ocean stretching to the horizon.

Accommodation

PURPOSE boasts five well-appointed cabins, providing comfortable berths for up to eight guests. Each cabin is a private retreat, bathed in soft light and designed for restful slumber. The layout, a hallmark of catamaran design, ensures privacy and space, with each cabin offering an inviting haven after a day of sun and sea. Though no single 'master suite' is designated, the thoughtful distribution ensures every guest experiences a sense of personal luxury, with ample storage and serene aesthetics.

Chef

Michael Makonnen

Starting early with these diverse flavours encouraged Michael to be confident and bold with his cooking. He began as a grill chef in street food and restaurant kitchens all over London. It was not long before his talent was noticed and was asked to start catering private events and doing supper clubs. He loves experimenting with different cuisines and individual tastes including vegan.
