Fountaine Pajot Sanya 57 Review – Mix of Performance and Luxury

Only a couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of embarking on a chartered sailing adventure with some close friends aboard Fountaine Pajot’s most recent flagship cruiser, the Sanya 57, and to say that I was impressed with this cruising cat would be a huge understatement.

Not only did I enjoy the spacious and luxurious accommodations aboard this stylish catamaran, but the level of professionalism and attention to detail I received from the crew was second to none.

In short, they spoiled me (as well as my friends) with top-notch service, which made our time at sea a truly enjoyable experience.

This Fountaine Pajot Sanya 57 review will reflect the most prominent features and characteristics that I took note of during my time aboard this vessel, but without a doubt, the only way to fully appreciate all that the Sanya 57 has to offer is to charter your own sailing excursion on this outstanding boat.

Table of Contents

Accommodation

The Sanya 57 exhibits the perfect combination of the performance you would expect from a cruising cat along with remarkably comfortable accommodations; this is not as easy as it looks, but it’s simply a reflection of the years of experience that the builder brings to the table.

What I was most struck by when I entered the interior living spaces of our boat was the sheer amount of room I had to move around.

Far from being cramped quarters, the strikingly spacious saloon boasted a massive settee, a sleek, low-slung coffee table to port and a stunning galley to starboard.

I took note of the generously-sized double-door refrigerator (which included an automatic water/ice dispenser) as well as the full-sized dishwasher and twin sinks.

The working counter space was more than generous, but as far as storage space goes, I would have to say that it fell a bit short of my expectations.

Just based on what I observed, it appeared as though space to securely store fragile kitchenware items (such as glasses) was slightly inadequate.

Our boat was designed with the charter layout, which features three staterooms per hull.

I was thoroughly impressed with the size of the sleeping quarters down in each hull; they seemed to stretch on for miles.

Those who enjoy en-suite heads will definitely appreciate the Sanya 57, as it offers just that in all staterooms, along with separate showers (only the skipper’s quarters lacks the separate shower space).

I was impressed with the well-thought-out layout of the cabins on both sides, all of which feature twin companionways that afford optimal privacy (e.g., nobody has to walk through your bedroom to access their own sleeping quarters).

One of the details that I appreciated the most about the interior of the Sanya 57 was the attention to detail given to the finish quality throughout the vessel.

Instead of seeing exposed fiberglass at every turn (like many boats I have been on before), I saw pleasant hardwood parquet or stylish veneers, along with fabric and leather.

Chartering this vessel for your next sailing excursion is essentially a guarantee of comfortable cruising, no matter where you go.

The basic design of the Sanya 57 is what you would commonly expect for a cruising cat.

The hulls are noticeably wide (to maximize the volume of the interior space), and the vessel features slightly limited bridge deck clearance.

The aft deck is remarkably spacious and elegant, communicating the obvious intention of the builder to make the social function of this vessel a top priority.

Expansive teak decking marks the lounging area, which features a hardtop Targa roof for shelter from the sun.

I was duly impressed with the length of the L-shaped settee, as well as the amply sized open dining table with chairs.

What I appreciated the most about the way the lounging area was designed is that it was completely absent of rigging/working lines and other eyesores, which makes for a more comfortable and intimate setting during social functions.

I had the privilege of temporarily taking the helm and sailing the Sanya in about 9 knots of true wind off the southeast coast of Mauritius (the Bay of Mahebourg off the Ile de la Passe, to be exact).

Our boat sailed well in the somewhat choppy waters in the middle of the bay.

While the hydraulic steering system took a little getting used to (there’s quite a bit of distance between the helm and the rudders), I did take note of the smooth motion of the boat on the water, and although the sea state was slightly choppy, the vessel did hardly hobbyhorse at all.

When you charter this boat, you will automatically be furnished with three experienced and highly attentive crew members (included in the price) who will do everything in their power to help you enjoy some uninterrupted leisure time at sea with family or friends, and should you choose to make the request, you might even get a little time at the helm as I did.

Under Power

I can’t say that I was surprised at the deft maneuverability of this catamaran in close quarters, which can be attributed to the twin 75-horsepower diesel engines in the two hulls.

One of the features that impressed me the most about the Sanya 57 was its 680-watt solar panel array (comprised of four 170-watt panels) situated on the Targa roof, offering outstanding energy efficiency.

All of the vessel’s systems are well laid out, and the helm station offers plenty of comfortable seating to accommodate the skipper and a crewmate.

The Sanya’s nearly 300-gallon fuel capacity ensures that you’ll have the wherewithal to enjoy plenty of time aboard this long-legged cruiser, but hey, why crank up the motors when you can sail, right?

Sanya 57 vs. Lagoon 560

Besides the fact that both vessels are the creations of highly respected French builders, the Sanya 57 and Lagoon 560 have quite a bit in common.

Both boats are powered by 75-hp twin engines, but the Lagoon 560 has a slightly higher fuel reserve than the Sanya 57, coming in at 344 and 291 gallons, respectively.

In terms of LOA, the Sanya 57 has the Lagoon 560 beat by a slim margin (seven inches to be exact), but the Lagoon 560 offers a little more square footage in terms of sail area.

In terms of weight-saving, Fountaine Pajot’s extensive background in racing clearly gives them the advantage, as the Sanya 57 weighs in at 21 tonnes unladen, compared to the significantly heavier Lagoon 560, which comes in at around 28 tonnes.

While both vessels are definitely ample cruisers, my personal opinion is that the Sanya 57 offers a lighter build without sacrificing luxury and a more comfortable passage overall.

Why Sail the Sanya 57

* Fantastic accommodations * Generous working area * Spacious helm area * Sleek look and luxurious interior

In Conclusion

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience aboard the Sanya 57, and I can easily see why this very capable vessel is famously known as a “cat that purrs”.

The Sanya 57 offers the perfect balance of relaxed luxury and performance cruising, with generous accommodations and eye-grabbing aesthetics.

This boat makes it easy for you to lavishly entertain your family and friends, and should you choose the Sanya 57 for your next charter excursion, it will be a decision that you won’t regret.

I have read many of your articles about various charters and have loved all of them – I am spoilt for choice completely!

As I am completely new to chartering but really want to try it, I wanted to know more about having a crew on board. How does that work? I can imagine it’s expensive but what types of service are available and does it depend on what type of charter you hire?

It’s so nice to see you again:)

You have the option to hire a crew ( skipper, cook, made, hostess) on any yacht as long as there is enough place for every passenger. If you don’t have any sailing skill then I would suggest you hire a skipper. The cost of a skippered yacht charter is affordable. Let say the price is $2500, split between the number of passengers on your trip. If you have 4 people in your party, then the cost is only about $650 for a week, which is worth for an unforgettable sailing holiday:) Don’t you think so?

I hope it helped and if you need further information, please don’t hesitate to contact me, I’ll be glad to help you!

Thank you for the comment and I wish you to sail soon:)

Your site is really appealing to the eye. Not only does it have a professional appeal due to the quality of the products being promoted but your personal experiences give it a sincere aspect. I appreciate the videos, images, comparisons to competitors and specifications table also. However I think a different colour would be easier on the eye in the picture banner than red, perhaps navy blue? All the best!

Thank you for the comment and for passing by, I really appreciate:)

Have a wonderful day!

Wah. How do you get to see and hence review so many type of yachts? It is coool to have a specific site like this cos i have no idea about all these before. So do you own many boats? Or you simply get to ride on them all? I ‘m from Sydney 0 love the sea just like you but dun think I have a chance to see too many yachts – or maybe i just dunno about them. 😛

I used to own a boat, and today I help people to select the right yacht 🙂

Choosing the appropriate vessel is a very important detail when wanting to go sailing!

Sidney is a beautiful place to visit, I will put this destination on my list for the next sailing holiday:)

Thank you for the comment and wish you to sail very soon:)

Sanya 57 seems awesome!

At first when you take a look from the exterior it seems like a simple yacht. But when you get inside it’s just like a luxury hotel.

You are so lucky to have such an experience that not everyone can have. And your site is really cool too. Your niche is kinda unique.

You’re right, the interior is very luxurious, and yes, it is a floating hotel!

Thank you very much, I really appreciate the comment:)

Have a wonderful day and hope to see you soon!

Well, considering that the built year was 2014, I would say it’s no surprise the way it looks like, contemporarily.

When reading this post, it seems that even the adverse wave condition won’t affect the smooth sailing journey I presume.

Quite a nice nickname tagged “cat that purrs”. That shows how it is highly regarded in today’s modern yacht.

Yes, nice nickname:) The Fountaine Pajot 57 is a strong boat, it cut the waves like butter.

Thank you for the comment comment and wish you to sail sail soon!

Hi, Daniella! Once I left comment for your website but missed your real name. I can tell only that our family is yacht lovers and we use to sail with my husband. We never used to sail catamarans. And we have plan to try. Looking forward to take charter this summer in Europe. P.S. Your site looking very-very good and professional, and we like it very much! Just take away the inscription under the comment field to be perfect! Sincerely, Zhanna

How nice to see you again on my website:) This is it, Daniella is my name, you said it right:)

It’s always good to see yacht lovers and passionates about the sea:)

Thank you for the comment and wish you to sail very soon!

Have a fantastic day!

Sanya 57 is a 56 ′ 7 ″ / 17.3 m catamaran sailboat designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by Fountaine Pajot starting in 2010.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Fountaine Pajot Sanya 57

• By Mark Pillsbury
• Updated: February 21, 2014

A benefit to tagging along on sea trials with Cruising World’s Boat of the Year judges—apart from the wealth of knowledge you gain—is that you don’t actually have to do all the sailing. And so it was that on a gray day last fall following the U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland, after I’d done my trick at the wheel and finished jotting down notes, I found myself comfortably stretched out atop the lounge deck of the new Fountaine Pajot Sanya 57 . For the record, the view was spectacular and the ride could only have been more enjoyable had the sun come out and warmed things up by 20 degrees or so.

The Sanya was built to take a crowd sailing, and measured by that design brief, Olivier Racoupeau of Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design hit the target square on. With accommodations for five couples (and three crew if desired), the French-built cat has room to spare; in fact, more living space than the Eleuthera 60, which it replaces in F.P.’s Flagship Class of cruising catamarans. And on the sailing side of the equation, a powerful, flat-topped, full-batten equipment room buried in the nacelle. Once inside, the skipper has clear access to the various switches and 12- and 24-volt circuits that power the Sanya’s systems. But without removing the screwed-down nav station seat, BOTY judge Ed Sherman found he turned into a contortionist of sorts as he wormed his way in, a feat that would have been all the more difficult in any kind of seaway.

The Sanya’s interior has an elegant feel, thanks to a rich mix of light and dark colors and large ports that provide an expansive view. The island counter is ideal for entertaining and cooking.

An L-shaped settee and low-slung coffee table take up the saloon’s port side. Opposite, an island counter sets off a galley (dishwasher, stove, oven, microwave and full-size double-door fridge) that you’d expect to find on a $1.2 million catamaran.

There are a couple of options for living accommodations. The boat we sailed was the Quintet version, with five double cabins with private heads and showers: three in the port hull, and fore and aft in the starboard hull. A single-berth (captain’s) cabin was amidships to starboard. Fore and aft companionways in each hull provide cabin access without having to troop through anyone else’s space. Two additional crew berths are located in the bows.

In the Maestro version, the owner gains an enormous cabin and separate head and shower, aft in the port hull, with a guest cabin forward.

Fountaine Pajot has been building boats since 1976, and its construction techniques have evolved with the technology available. The Sanya’s hulls and deck are resin infused and balsa cored; the cockpit bimini is injection molded, producing a finished surface top and bottom.

Plenty of power is provided by a square-topped main and overlapping genoa. The Sanya comes in two different layouts, including the six-cabin version (above) that would work well in charter service

Twin 110-horsepower Volvo engines powered the boat we sailed (75-horsepower engines come standard). With 300 gallons of fuel, the Sanya should have the auxiliary wherewithal to be a long-legged cruiser. But why motor when you can sail? And considering the four 170-watt solar panels incorporated into the bimini,the builder notes you may not need to run those engines to top off the batteries, either.

Whether the intent is to enter this catamaran into charter service or simply allow owners to lavishly entertain family and friends, the Sanya sets sail in a grand way.

SANYA 57’ The 57’ synthesis according to Fountaine Pajot

From Eleuthera to the Bahamas, to Sanya in the extreme south of China, the search for a name for the successor to the Eleuthera 60’ led the Fountaine Pajot team to the other side of the world, to the seaside resort on the island province of Hainan, Sanya! A long voyage for a major change.

The enviable marketing segment

The 56 – 59’ size seems to have become the centre of the target for fierce competition between the European builders. Sunreef plays its trump card of customisation with the 58’. Outremer has just joined this quite exclusive club with the 5X by showing ambitions for superlative performance. Catana of course takes up the challenge with the 59’ and its curved appendages, whilst Lagoon pursues its conquest of space with the 560. Nautitech is hiding in ambush at just under 55’ and is congratulating itself on the launch of the 542. Fountaine Pajot therefore had to lay a decisive card on the table in this coveted game.

Relevant positioning

Before tackling the totally exclusive semi-custom boat market the leaders (apart from Sunreef and Catana) seem to have abandoned to the specialised yards (Tournier Marine, with its 65’ and 70’ carbon boats, Alibi, Swiss Cats, Gunboat…), it has become essential for a builder of calibre to plant its flag in this 56’ – 59’ niche. Beyond traditional purchasers, new aficionados will be attracted, amongst the...

Fountaine pajot sanya 57 recently launched.

The stunning Sanya 57 catamaran was launched recently and is drawing the crowds. We reported on this catamaran back in June 2010, and now pictures are finally available.

Fountaine Pajot Sanya 57

Full Brochure & Specifications for Sanya 57

This superb catamaran is the remarkable culmination of Fountaine Pajot’s technological advances and innovative concepts, specifically designed for optimal safety and offshore performance. The Lounge Deck is segregated from the helm station and control lines, ensuring uninterrupted relaxation for guests while still allowing easy communication with the skipper. Aesthetics are paramount and the boat’s sleek lines are not compromised by practicality, with the solar panels integrated into the coach roof. The ergonomic steering and maneuvering position affords panoramic visibility with a bimini to protect from inclement weather conditions, and is designed to be unobtrusive of the boat’s living areas. The mainsail control lines are accessible from the coach roof.

Sanya is also the of the eco-cruising concepts signed by Fountaine Pajot for sustainable sailing, that aims to:

• Reduce fuel consumption
• Reduce electricity consumption
• Use renewable energies to produce electricity
• Zero black water emissions.

Contact us for more information and availability. Or come and see us at the 2011 Miami Boat Show Miamarina Booth C31.

Brand: FP 57 Sanya

Fountaine Pajot, in association with the Berret Racoupeau design office, has produced a hallmark of definitive elegance and innovation. The Sanya 57 is defined by its unique, contemporary design and has been strategically constructed for ocean cruising and unforgettably luxurious family holidays. Affording all the pleasures of the sea, the Sanya 57 will take your breath away with the distinctive comfort, fixtures and services you’ve come to expect from Fountaine Pajot’s prestigious Flagship Class.

This superb catamaran is the remarkable culmination of Fountaine Pajot’s technological advances and innovative concepts, specifically designed for optimal safety and offshore performance. The Lounge Deck is segregated from the helmstation and control lines, ensuring uninterrupted relaxation for guests while still allowing easy communication with the skipper. Aesthetics are paramount and the boat’s sleek lines are not compromised by practicality, with the solar panels integrated into the coachroof. The ergonomic steering and maneuvering position affords panoramic visibility with a bimini to protect from inclement weather conditions, and is designed to be unobtrusive of the boat’s living areas. The mainsail control lines are accessible from the coachroof. The sheltered 25m2 cockpit with sugar scoops is a welcoming and ambient area for relaxation. Its exclusive outdoor galley, equipped with sink, refrigerator, generous storage and adjustable table, helps create the perfect summer saloon. With custom-designed protection, it can double the closed sheltered area, all on the same level.

A remarkable 106m2 of living area, all on one level, provides optimal space for enjoying cruises with treasured friends or unwinding in comfort on intimate getaways. At anchor or at sea, the outstanding panorama is a unique signature of the Sanya 57. For an ‘à la carte’ programme, or for family cruises, the six-cabin version offers beautiful guest cabins each featuring sea views and private bathroom. A guest bathroom, accessible via the main saloon, is a thoughtful design feature greatly appreciated when at sea.

A one-week sailing holiday can be combined with island stays, but to really enjoy the private sailing experience we recommend sailing holidays of two or three-week duration.

A minimum of 2 weeks is required to enjoy the full Mykonos-Santorini experience.

The holiday cost includes a skipper, chef and a hostess/cook and cleaning but excluding VAT. Two changes of towels and bed linen are included per week.

An additional charge is made to cover fuel and provisioning. This is called the APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) and averages around 15% of the holiday cost depending on the number of guests and your provisioning wishes.

At the end of your cruise, the APA accounting is finalized and you receive a refund or an invoice to make up the exact amount.
