Le Ponant

Luxury sailboat for an intimate expedition

One of a kind, Le Ponant is one of the most majestic sailing ships in the world. This superb traditional French three-master, the company’s first vessel, offers its passengers an intimate and refined sailing experience. With 16 spacious cabins and suites, a crew member per passenger, a dedicated chef, and authentic, exclusive moments to be experienced at every port of call—thoughtfully designed with and for you—this ship redefines the concept of luxury yachting and promises an extraordinary experience. Complementing its sleek, refined design by Jean-Philippe Nuel are innovative, environmentally friendly amenities. Spread across three decks, the cabins and suites on board Le Ponant boast generous proportions. Picture windows and portholes flood each one with a gentle natural light. Tastefully decorated, they provide a luxurious setting conducive to peace and relaxation. Enjoy the sea to the rhythm of the wind and sail close to the coasts to discover both iconic and exclusive itineraries with renewed curiosity. The secluded beaches of wild Corsica, the legendary Greek islands, or the exhilarating Italian shores will reveal the secret, profound soul of a world-renowned destination.

ETHICS

The Ponant is the only yacht in the world with a hybrid sail-electric propulsion system: it can sail under sail alone and connect to the mains electricity supply in certain ports to minimise its environmental impact. On board, the use of plastic is kept to a minimum; 60% of packaging is recycled, and unavoidable waste is handed over to specialist recycling companies. The vessel is equipped with a desalination and wastewater treatment system. The Ponant sources its supplies directly from the places where it docks and pays particular attention to the traceability of its products.
