Nika I | 2025

Best for: groups of friends or couples travelling together, with families a close second.

Nika I is a brand-new 2025 Fountaine Pajot Samana 59, delivered straight from the French factory to Split for her maiden charter season. Her single most distinctive feature is the double-size owner's suite: occupying two thirds of the starboard hull, it has direct access from the aft swimming deck, a walk-in wardrobe, a large shower, a vanity bar, and a queen bed with ocean views. The main deck galley keeps the chef at the heart of the action, and the flybridge, the largest in its class, offers a flying helm station and rear sunpads, while the foredeck delivers modular sun stations and trampolines.

With four cabins sleeping up to eight guests, served by a crew of three including Captain Toni Ljubović, Nika I suits groups who want space, comfort, and activity in equal measure. The water toys list covers wakeboarding, water skiing, two underwater scooters, kayaks, SUPs, snorkelling gear for eight, and banana and donut rides that make her equally appealing to families. A BBQ on board rounds out the package for relaxed evenings at anchor along the Dalmatian coast.
