LE PONANT Yacht Charter

LE PONANT is an 84.33m./276'8" iconic motor/sailer yacht built by French shipyard SFCN, with modern refits enhancing her contemporary comfort and style. She has expansive indoor/outdoor living spaces, elegant open decks, and a relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere. LE PONANT is available for yacht rental with Yacht Hunter.

Guest Accommodation

LE PONANT welcomes up to 32 guests in 16 cabins, recently reconfigured during a major rebuild to elevate comfort and exclusivity. The Master Suite occupies its own private deck and is the ship’s most exclusive retreat: a spacious bedroom (configurable as a king or two twins), a private balcony with sweeping views, a separate lounge and a dining area — perfect for intimate relaxation or private entertaining. Five VIP suites deliver generously scaled living, each offering king or twin bedding; selected VIPs also feature private balconies, sofa beds and dedicated lounge seating for added flexibility on extended voyages. Ten Convertible cabins boast large ocean-view windows, filling the interiors with natural light and seascape vistas. A professional, attentive crew guarantees a premium yacht charter vacation.

Onboard Amenities & Entertainment

LE PONANT is conceived as a four-tiered journey from sky to sea, each guest deck offering a distinct mood and purpose. At the crown sits the sundeck: chaise longues and sheltered daybeds invite long, languid hours, an open-air bar serves refreshments through the day, and a dedicated yoga area frames sweeping ocean panoramas. One level down, the Zéphyr Deck houses the elegant Le Diamant Restaurant, where panoramic dining complements views of the horizon. Guests may also step onto the bridge to watch navigation and sail operations up close. The Alizés Deck is the ship’s social and wellness heart. Here the Emeraude Lounge and Bar — with its library and live evening music — sets the scene for relaxed conversation. A fully equipped spa with treatment rooms and a fitness area with an on-board coach support wellbeing, while a welcoming reception lounge handles concierge services and guest needs. At the stern, the Marina converts into a sea-level platform that launches kayaks and paddleboards and stows snorkeling and diving equipment, providing immediate, effortless access to the water for active exploration.

Performance & Technical Specifications

LE PONANT has a steel hull paired with an aluminum superstructure, a combination that enhances interior volume while keeping the vessel structurally efficient. Her full-displacement design provides excellent stability at anchor and a smooth, steady ride at sea. She maintains a Cruising Speed of ten knots, prioritizing comfort over speed.

Water Toys & Equipment

Aboard LE PONANT, a wide selection of water toys turns the sea into a private playground. Guests can paddle peacefully on kayaks or stand-up paddleboards, exploring quiet coves and enjoying panoramic views. A sea-scooter adds effortless underwater speed; scuba diving equipment allows deeper exploration of reefs and marine life. Windsurfing brings a more dynamic, wind-powered thrill across open water. The Zodiac expedition tender ensures fast, comfortable trips to shore and hidden bays.

Charter Availability

As a Mediterranean yacht charter, LE PONANT is available for summer charters. In winter, she is also available as a Caribbean yacht charter.

LE PONANT blends classic French design with modern refit, offering smooth, stable sailing and generous open-air spaces across multiple decks. Guests enjoy panoramic views, wellness areas, fine dining atmosphere, and direct access to the sea for water sports and exploration. It’s a calm yet refined way to experience the ocean, where every moment feels effortless, immersive, and unforgettable.
