The Privilège 48 stands as a seminal model in the history of cruising multihulls, representing the ambitious early years of Jeantot Marine. Launched in 1987 as a successor to the original Privilège 47, the 48foot platform was instrumental in defining the "luxury bluewater catamaran" category. Conceived by worldchampion singlehanded sailor Philippe Jeantot and designed by naval architect Guy Ribadeau Dumas (with later refinements by Marc Lombard), the vessel was built with an uncompromising focus on structural integrity and liveaboard comfort. It is immediately recognizable by its distinctive forward nacelle, or "rostrum," a design hallmark that provides a central master suite and gives the boat its characteristic trihull silhouette when viewed from the bow.
