A quick deck-level look at a hard-working Caribbean charter cat that's freshly turned out for the season — and booking fast.
Brokers don’t usually film a walkthrough just because a boat looks good. But that’s more or less the reason Chesnee Cogswell of BVI Yacht Sales picked up the camera aboard S/V Luna Bliss, a 2019 Fountaine Pajot Saona 47. “This vessel has a new crew that has done an amazing job getting it ready for the season,” she says at the top of the clip. “She’s looking amazing.”
The short tour is exactly what it promises: a look at the 47-footer in her current condition, with a fresh photo set on the way. For buyers who have watched charter catamarans cycle through the islands, that framing matters — this is a boat being shown as it actually sits today, crewed and working, rather than staged and empty.
A business, not just a boat
The headline for prospective owners is the calendar. According to Cogswell, Luna Bliss “has been picking up charters left and right” and “looks to have a full season” ahead. The current owner is in a position to hand that operation over to a buyer who wants to keep chartering — meaning the appeal here isn’t only the Saona 47’s well-known four-cabin layout and generous social spaces, but an established revenue stream and a crew already up to speed.
Where she sits in the market
Saona 47s remain a sought-after size in the crewed-charter world, and the current inventory picture is modest. For context, here’s what the model looks like on YachtSite.com right now:
| Active FP 47 Saona listings | 7 |
|---|---|
| Asking range | $599,000 – $799,000 |
| Median asking | $699,000 |
| Inquiries, last 30 days | 4 (vs 6 prior 30) |
Cogswell’s invitation is simple: reach out for more info. For anyone weighing a turnkey entry into Caribbean chartering, a boat already booked for the season is a compelling place to start the conversation.
