The Saona 47 is a wide-beamed catamaran designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by Fountaine Pajot between 2016 and 2020.

- Best for:
- This vessel is ideal for coastal and offshore cruisers seeking spacious living quarters and strong performance, as evidenced by the high frequency of watermaker, solar panel, and bow thruster installations among owners.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.25 and a comfort ratio of 13.85, the Saona 47 demonstrates solid offshore stability and seakeeping characteristics suitable for bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Fountaine Pajot Salia 47 and the Lagoon 45, which share similar production eras and wide-beam catamaran characteristics, though the Saona 47 distinguishes itself with its specific Berret-Racoupeau design and fractional sloop rig.
