2018 Fountaine Pajot Saona 47
$749,500San Diego, CA, United States
Overview
Bright Side is a "Maestro" owner version, 3 cabin, 3 head Saona with very light use, some important upgrades and excellent maintenance. Sailed only locally, in private use, never chartered. The deck, helm and cockpit layout is innovative, effective and widely imitated because the helm has unrestricted sightlines, the cockpit dining is spacious, the lounge areas are luxurious, and movement around all three is easy. She can be well sailed and maneuvered by one or two people, but the defining character of this boat is lifestyle: the galley is built for someone who loves to cook, and the owner suite is extraordinary. As she sits, you can quickly add your personal touch for live aboard style, or add a few cruising essentials and head for the horizon.
Standout Features
The mid-level helm position has great visibility like a flybridge, for maneuvering and sail trim, but in 3 steps up to the lounge level, the boom is waist high, for easy access to the boom and mainsail with lazy bag. The fantastic galley has 4 burners, copious counter top and island work space in solid surface, drawer style fridges and freezers and overhead skylights for a view of the main, the jib, the moon and stars. Closed in the owner suite, you could mistake it for a private rail car; queen bed, dressing table, cabinets and shelves and an enclosed head with shower big enough to scrub 3 kids and a Great Dane.
