About the Privilege 39 Sailboat

Crafted by the renowned French builder Privilege Marine, the Privilege 39 is a performance-oriented cruising catamaran designed for sailors who refuse to compromise between comfort and capability. As part of Privilege's highly regarded lineup, this model carries the brand's signature emphasis on elegant design, solid construction, and blue-water readiness, making it a compelling choice for those eyeing extended offshore passages or extended liveaboard cruising. The Privilege 39 reflects the builder's philosophy of creating catamarans that sail well without sacrificing the spacious, well-appointed interiors that serious cruisers demand. Privilege has long enjoyed a strong reputation among the offshore multihull community, and this model benefits from that pedigree, offering a hull form optimized for both upwind performance and stable downwind runs in open ocean conditions. For buyers researching a capable bluewater cruiser in the multihull category, the Privilege 39 represents a thoughtful middle ground — substantial enough for serious passages, yet manageable for a couple or small family. Its combination of French craftsmanship and purpose-built cruising DNA continues to attract attention in the pre-owned market worldwide.
