INTRODUCING
LE PONANT
LE PONANT
LE PONANT is a unique vessel that has just benefited from a complete 'rebuild' so the interior and exterior decks are all new. The layout was updated to create 16 large comfortable guest suites, and the schedule for 2023 and 2024 takes her to some stunning destinations that would be 'once in a lifetime' opportunities to explore with extended family and friends. She sails beautifully and the Captain and crew make the most of every opportunity to sail rather than motor. The experience of sailing on LE PONANT is wonderful, with minimal running rigging the crew are able to leave the expansive deck areas free for guests to relax while silently cruising under sail. Her rigging design is impressive for those who are sailing enthusiasts, as she uses giant hydraulic rams to trim the sails. The cuisine on board is outstanding, and a big part of the experience. The Execuitve Chef is French and there is a team of five in total in the galley. The crew also includes an Expedition Leader and expert Naturalist, who will be able to guide the guests to ensure the most memorable experiences for both adults and children. Note the four expedition style Zodiac tenders are intended for real exploration of the ultra wild coastlines that LE PONANT will visit. Choose from the available dates in the wild and wonderful area of the Kimberleys in northern Australia, or Indonesia and Papua. The itinerary on offer in any of these places is full of genuine excitement both above and below the water... rarely available to see while enjoying such luxury as LE PONANT and her crew offer. The crew also includes a Beautician and a Sports Coach. Don't let the long travel times put you off - this is an opportunity like no other. Unplug for a week or two in some of the last remaining wilderness areas. The value for money offered by LE PONANT is also remarkable, since the charter rate includes all food, drinks, fuel, port fees, agents fees, and taxes. Make your own calculation about how this compares to other yachts... and consider the level of service from 34 crew and the completely new interior and exterior. There is also a story about the Captain having grown up on board, since his father was the first Captain and shareholder in the initial ownership structure. Jean-David is a charming Captain and he maintains a happy and motivated crew - you can't fail to be impressed.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
FROM RECENT CHARTER GUESTS

The Captain was great to work with throughout the charter, and the support from 7O/ONE's Charter Management team was excellent. Communication was smooth from start to finish, and everything was handled professionally.

CHARTER GUEST
This has been one of the best charters we have been on. MARAYA will not be forgotten, and the experience delivered by the crew and 7O/ONE exceeded all expectations.
CHARTER GUEST
I am pleased to share that the yacht and her crew were absolutely amazing. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and our client thoroughly enjoyed every moment on board. It was truly an exceptional experience, thanks to the professionalism and dedication of the entire team, with 7O/ONE ensuring the charter was managed seamlessly throughout.
BROKER PARTNER
I am very happy to say that the charter on board went extremely well. The clients were very complimentary about both Tristan and Caera and would like to book the yacht again for next year. As you are aware, Grand Prix charters are extremely complex in terms of planning and logistics, and the crew took everything in their stride whilst providing excellent service throughout. The support from 7O/ONE's Charter Management team made the entire process straightforward, and I wouldn't hesitate to book MARAYA again for any kind of charter.
