2017 Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 “Island Life”
Welcome aboard Island Life, a 2017 Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 featuring the highly sought-after Maestro three cabin, three head owners’ version layout. This elegantly appointed 40-foot sailing catamaran offers a perfect balance of spirited performance and luxurious comfort while at anchor. Having spent recent years cruising the turquoise waters of the British Virgin Islands, Island Life is now prepared for her next chapter, whether it be coastal exploration or a bluewater passage.
The Lucia 40 design offers light-filled living areas with expansive windows and sliding doors that create a seamless flow between the salon and galley. Accommodations are thoughtfully arranged, with the entire starboard hull dedicated to a private primary suite. This owners’ hull includes a large island bed, extensive storage, and an oversized ensuite head with a separate stall shower. The port hull houses two comfortable guest staterooms, each complete with its own private ensuite head.
The Berret-Racoupeau design team brought the deck space and beam of larger catamarans to a size manageable for a family or single-handed sailor, making the Lucia 40 one of Fountaine Pajot’s most successful models. Its contemporary profile—from the distinctive forward-sloping coachroof to the expansive cockpit—makes it a top choice for the sailor who wants to live comfortably aboard a very stylish cat.
Sailing is made effortless by a raised helm station where all lines and winches are within reach, including an electric winch dedicated to the mainsail. With a fully battened mainsail and furling genoa easily controlled from the safety of the helm, you will appreciate the intuitive handling and simplicity offered by this exceptional catamaran.
