Tanna 47 for sale: the complete picture before you buy

The Tanna 47 measures 13.94 metres in length by 7.70 metres in beam, with an unloaded displacement of around 14.7 tonnes and a draft of 1.20 metres. Its mainsail covers 77 m², complemented by a 52 m² genoa. Standard power is 2 x 50 HP, with a 2 x 60 HP option.
This model’s standout feature is its interior layout: an L-shaped galley facing the cockpit, with 1,400 litres of storage capacity (300 litres more than the Saona 47), a chart table accessible directly from the helm and open to the cockpit, and above all a flybridge with a lounge area twice the size of its predecessor’s.

The Tanna 47 was built in two layouts.
The Maestro version dedicates an entire hull to the owner’s suite, with a walk-in shower, while the two remaining double cabins each have their own bathroom — 3 cabins and 3 bathrooms in total (a crew cabin available as an option). This is the layout to favour for family or couple cruising, with real private space.
The Quintet version offers 5 double cabins with 5 en-suite bathrooms, a layout designed for charter operations or larger crews looking to maximise guest capacity (a crew cabin also available as an option).

A few points specific to this model deserve close attention during a viewing:
Engine: 2 x 50 HP or 2 x 60 HP depending on the boat; check engine hours and the service history with an approved yard.
Solar panels: the Tanna 47 can carry a solar surface of 5 to 9 m² depending on configuration; have their real output and the condition of the charge controller tested.
Galley and storage layout: check the condition of the L-shaped galley fittings and that the boat’s many storage compartments work properly, one of the model’s distinctive features.
Rigging and hardware: sails, halyards and sheets wear with the miles, an expense to budget for after purchase.
Maintenance history: logbooks, yard invoices and survey reports give a real picture of how well the boat has been looked after, beyond what the listing photos show.
As with any used catamaran purchase, having an independent professional survey carried out before committing remains the best precaution.

The price of a pre-owned Tanna 47 mainly depends on the year built, the version (Maestro or Quintet), engine hours, rigging condition, and the options fitted on board (solar panel surface, electronics, watermaker…). Two boats from the same model year can show a noticeable price gap depending on their maintenance and equipment level. The best approach is to compare several listings with comparable equipment, or to rely on an independent survey to assess a specific boat.

With a standard listing, the buyer has to check the boat’s real condition and history on their own. A Nextsail-certified Tanna 47, by contrast, has been inspected by the Fountaine Pajot network across all its technical points and equipment, with dealer support from first contact through to delivery. This certification provides a level of transparency on the boat’s condition that’s hard to achieve on a private sale.
