SAMJA

SAMJA is a 39.5-metre planing motor yacht built by ISA Yachts in 2004 to the ISA 133 model specification, refitted in 2015 and registered under the Cayman Islands flag. Her exterior lines are the work of Andrea Bacigalupo, while the interior was conceived by Michela Reverberi — a combination that places refined Italian craftsmanship at the heart of a vessel engineered for speed.

Built for guests who want to cover ground quickly and spend their days anchored off the most sought-after stretches of the French Riviera, Corsica, Sardinia, and the wider Mediterranean, SAMJA accommodates up to 10 guests across 5 cabins with a crew of 7. Her planing hull and composite construction mean she is not a passage-making vessel suited to transatlantic crossings, and those seeking a slower, more contemplative pace at sea will find her character elsewhere.

What distinguishes SAMJA within the ISA 133 class is her combination of genuine high-speed capability — a cruising speed of 22 knots and a maximum of 40 knots — with thoughtfully resolved interior spaces. The 2015 refit brought her systems and finishes in line with more recent standards, and the composite hull contributes to a lively, responsive feel underway that suits the fast-paced rhythms of Mediterranean charter.

Onboard, the experience is supported by air conditioning throughout, satellite communications, and Wi-Fi. Her water toys include a Yamaha jet-ski, paddleboard, water-skis, wake boards, and snorkelling equipment, making her well suited to active days at anchor. The crew-to-guest ratio of seven staff for ten guests reflects a service standard appropriate for a yacht charter of this class, and her compact size allows access to anchorages that larger vessels cannot reach.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
