Le Ponant
Le Ponant is the original jewel in Ponant’s crown — a graceful, three-masted sailing yacht that embodies the pure essence of small-ship luxury. Hosting just 32 guests, she offers an intimate and authentic experience that connects travellers with the rhythm of the sea like no other vessel.
Launched in 1991 and completely reimagined in 2022, Le Ponant continues to set the standard for refined yacht cruising. Combining elegant French design with a deep respect for nature, she sails to some of the world’s most beautiful and remote destinations — from the Seychelles and the Red Sea to the Greek Isles and the Caribbean.
