Yacht Description
Space for 10. PURPOSE is a 50-foot Fountaine Pajot Saba 50 sailing catamaran built in 2014 and upgraded in 2022, set up to sleep 10 guests in five queen cabins with en-suite bathrooms.
Easy indoor-outdoor living. The salon and cockpit run as one open plan, so nobody gets stuck “inside.” Meals tend to happen outside, helped by the galley’s sliding window that passes food straight to the cockpit.
Flybridge, then foredeck. Head up for the breezy flybridge lounge next to the helm. Different vibe. When you are done, the foredeck sunbathing lounge is the quieter reset zone.
Toys that get used. For water time, you have two paddleboards (with optional kayak seats), two 1-person kayaks, a kneeboard, floating mats, a towable tube (plus a second steerable wing tube), snorkeling gear, and an underwater still camera, with a 12ft tender and 25hp Yamaha for shuttles and setup.

PURPOSE delivers a genuinely excellent onboard experience. The crew is spritely, attentive, and always a step ahead — you'll never find yourself having to ask for a thing. Warm, easygoing service from start to finish, and highly recommended for your next charter.

PURPOSE has real character — an older boat full of soul, with three crew delivering an experience well beyond her price point. The focus here is food: Chef Michael specializes in incredible Ethiopian cuisine (though he does it all), and the breakfast spread alone is worth the trip.

Charter Reviews
Purpose
PURPOSE charter review
From the moment we stepped aboard the catamaran, it was evident we had made an exceptional choice. The vessel offered abundant space, allowing everyone to find their own comfortable corner whether seeking sun, shade, or a quiet moment to enjoy the sea breeze.
The crew truly elevated our experience with their professional yet personable approach. Their accommodating nature and flexibility with our itinerary meant we could truly customize our journey. Whether we wanted to linger longer at a particularly stunning cove or adjust our schedule for optimal swimming conditions, they graciously adapted to our preferences without hesitation.
The catamaran itself was impeccably maintained—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. Sleeping quarters provided a restful retreat after days filled with adventure, while the common areas offered plenty of room for our group to gather without ever feeling crowded.
Perhaps the most unexpected highlight was the culinary experience onboard. The cook's talents were simply extraordinary, preparing meals that consistently impressed our entire party. The food was so exceptional that we abandoned our initial plans to dine at local restaurants—nothing could compete with the fresh, delicious meals being served on deck. From breakfast to dinner, each dish was prepared with skill and care that would rival upscale dining establishments.
For anyone considering a private charter experience, I cannot recommend this catamaran and crew highly enough. They transformed what would have been a lovely vacation into an unforgettable journey of comfort, freedom, and indulgence on the water.

WOW! WOW! WOW!
We had the most amazing time! PURPOSE is absolutely incredible! The catamaran is luxurious - pristine and in perfect condition. Everything is new with comfortable bedding, ample padded seating everywhere, and tons of fun water toys! And the crew - WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! That's how to describe Captain Florian, Sisi, and Chef Mike! Talk about hospitality - their service is world class!!! They met with us ahead of time to customize our trip, and everything was specially tailored to us - from the itinerary to menu to drinks. The food is absolutely divine! We felt like we were at a Michelin-star restaurant the entire trip. Meals were delicious, varied, creative, with beautiful presentation - all catered to our preferences and food sensitivities. We had tuna, snapper, duck, beef, curry in many cuisines - Caribbean, Asian, Italian, Mediterranean, and even Ethiopian! We had the right balance of activities and relaxation - spending each day exactly as we wanted, whether snorkeling with turtles and sting rays, hiking, checking out the towns, fishing, chilling, and of course plenty of sailing.
PURPOSE is a 5-star luxury catamaran with a world-class crew and top-rate food! Strongly recommend!!!! 10 out of 10!!

Exceeded Expectations
This trip exceeded our expectations by a mile. This was our first experience with a crewed cat and chef and after one day I was wondering why we bareboat sailed all those years, shopping, cooking & cleaning.
Our captain, Florian, was incredibly accommodating. He was so thorough on instructions around the boat and picked a really diverse itinerary. He also chose anchorages that were within a short swim to excellent snorkeling. He pointed out things to us as we went along and was engaging and a very cheerful fellow.
And Michael his crew and chef made wonderful meals, snacks and desserts and we never had to lift a finger.
All in all it was a dreamy vacation made all the more so by having a well appointed cat, and an excellent captain and chef/crew. We’d follow them around the world if we could.“
All the best

Sailing the Grenadines with Captain Florian and First-Mate Mike
We had a group of 8 guest and really enjoyed a wonderful week being pampered by Florian and Mike
Floria guided us to many wonderful sights as well as some private and quiet spots. Purpose is a terrific yacht and easily accommodated us
Prince Michael treated us to one great meal after another such that we did not even want to leave our yacht to eat elsewhere

Grenadines
Embarked on a charter for 4 couples through the Grenadines with Florian and Mike
We had chosen the Grenadines as it is less crowded than the BVI and some slightly longer sailing stretches
Purpose was more than adequate for the waters and Florian took us to many beautiful anchorages as well as some of his private locations. Florian is also obviously very confident with his craft as he demonstrated many times that he can handle the yacht by himself
Our meals were also absolutely terrific. Chef Mike did and amazing job creating unique meals and presentations that we did not expect out on such a cruise. Most of us did not want to
Leave the yacht to even experiment dining ashore.

What a great way to truly unwind for a week! Florian and Camille were fantastic hosts and went out of their way to make our week onboard the Purpose fantastic. There were four of us in total – Mom, Dad and two kids – and Florian was able to create the perfect itinerary for us from Nassau down to Staniel Cay and back. We hit the popular spots, but Florian also had a few hidden gems that he had found exploring that really stood out to us. To top it all off, Camille did a wonderful job with every meal and really made them special with extra touches along the way. We all went home with big smiles and are, like others, talking about our next visit!
