SAMBA
Excellence at sea
Our new ship, Samba, is a 23.80-metre premium maxi-catamaran, designed to accommodate up to 180 passengers. Equipped with triple propulsion combining sail, thermal and electric motors, it will favour sailing and electric navigation for a more environmentally friendly maritime experience. Samba is the first vessel approved for passenger transport with this innovative technology to operate on the Mediterranean coast.
Currently under construction at the Chantier de l'Arsenal in La Rochelle, this Day One 80 Made in France benefits from the expertise of a major player in shipbuilding.
Based in Marseille, Samba will offer group excursions from May 2025, allowing you to discover the coastline from a unique angle. It is also available for private hire for exceptional cruises between Hyères and Martigues.
With its innovative design and eco-responsible approach, Samba marks a major step forward in sustainable maritime transport, offering a more modern and environmentally friendly alternative for sustainable tourism.

Key innovations
Sustainable design: The Samba vessel benefits from modern construction materials, combining lightness and resistance, for increased durability and a reduced ecological footprint, including the use of carbon fibers and recycled polyethylene foam in the core of the construction sandwich with more than 90,000 recycled plastic bottles.
Triple propulsion: The Samba vessel is equipped with advanced triple propulsion, combining sail, electric and thermal propulsion, in order to maximize energy efficiency, reduce GHG emissions and noise pollution.
Integration of solar panels: The Samba catamaran will be equipped with solar panels to provide auxiliary energy in order to reduce fuel consumption, reducing the environmental impact of the vessel.
Battery park: The Samba vessel is equipped with a dedicated battery park to power the on-board systems. This is to ensure autonomous power supply and reduce dependence on fossil fuel.
