Kalista II is a 2022 Samana 59 catamaran offering the perfect blend of space, comfort, and performance for a week exploring the crystalline waters of the French Riviera. Based in Cogolin, this eight-berth vessel combines the stability and generous living areas of modern catamaran design with thoughtful amenities that make extended cruising effortless. Whether you're planning an intimate escape for two couples or a larger gathering of friends and family, the four cabins and four en-suite bathrooms provide privacy and convenience throughout your voyage.

The Riviera's protected anchorages and charming coastal villages lie within easy reach, making Kalista II ideal for those seeking both adventure and relaxation. Mornings begin with espresso prepared in a fully equipped galley, while afternoons might be spent exploring hidden coves accessible by the onboard dinghy or simply drifting at anchor with a book. The catamaran's twin-engine setup and electric winches make handling intuitive, even for less experienced sailors, while the GPS chartplotter and radar provide confidence in any conditions. Solar panels and a generator ensure you can anchor off the grid without compromise, and the air conditioning keeps the saloon and cabins refreshingly cool during warm Mediterranean days.

Entertainment flows naturally aboard: the cockpit speakers set the mood as the sun descends, the lazy bag system simplifies sail management, and the dishwasher means fewer chores below deck. A week typically unfolds between the Îles d'Hyères, the Esterel coast, and the quieter anchorages near Saint-Tropez—a rhythm of sailing, swimming, and lingering dinners on deck. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or chartering for the first time, Kalista II's thoughtful design and reliable systems allow you to focus on what matters: the company of those aboard and the unhurried beauty of the Mediterranean coast.
