2018 Fountaine Pajot SABA 5015m

Saba 50, for Performance and Comfort

The SABA 50 was one of the first models, after the Helia 44, to benefit from the latest Fountaine Pajot innovations.

The sailing performance remains a priority for Fountaine Pajot catamarans. Additionally, comfort has greatly improved with many features which are demanded nowadays by long-term sailors.

Accommodation is optimised with spacious and light-filled cabins. The saloon is wide and practical, with a convertible sofa area and a convenient galley. The whole boat offers plenty of storage throughout.

Circulation is made easy between the different parts of the boat, allowing the crew to get quickly and easily from and to the cockpit, the flybridge, the helm station or the foredeck.

Relaxation areas

The flybridge communicates directly with the helm station and is quickly accessible from the cockpit. It comfortably welcomes guests with large sofas and sunbeds.

Foredeck cushions and sunbeds transform it into a convivial area, as well as pulpits at the bow.

The cockpit is in continuation of the saloon, offering a vast and sociable area. The cockpit table can sit up to 8 guests, and there are relaxing sofas on the side and back. A staircase easily leads to the helm and flybridge, and a cockpit fridge can be fitted below.

The interior design of the Saba 50

The interior design is cosy, with soft colours and an elegant style.

Natural light is a major bonus, through the roof and panoramic windows in the saloon, a wide window door opening onto the cockpit, and large windows in all cabins.

From shipyard:

Light, spacious, with high-level performance and in the image of her sisters ship, the SABA 50 offers you all the pleasures of the sea, both under sail and at anchor where relaxation goes hand in hand with comfort and pleasure.

The space on-board has been optimised in order to provide magnificent accommodation. The saloon and cockpit have generous storage areas, as do the passageways, and the light-filled, spacious cabins.

A genuine sunbathing lounge on the foredeck.

This is one of the special locations; for sunbathing and relaxation. Sheltered and comfortable, it also houses large storage lockers.

A splendid lounge deck

The Saba 50, elegant on the water and with high levels of performance, also offers a splendid place to relax with its carefully crafted Lounge Deck. This is integrated into the design process from the very beginning in order to give the craft its beautiful lines as well as the best possible levels of comfort, both at sea and at mooring.

Movement on board has been designed so that there is direct communication between the cockpit, the helm station and the lounge deck.

Thus the entire crew can easily move about in complete safety and without hindrance.
