S/V ILE DE REY is a Mathews, VA, US based 2020 Fountaine Pajot Saona 47 For Sale By Broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary. This owner requires financial settlement only. No trades.

The 2020 Fountaine Pajot Saona 47 Maestro ILE DE REY represents a significantly upgraded, offshore-capable cruising platform that sits well above standard production specifications. Privately owned and never chartered, the vessel has been configured for serious long-range autonomy.

Combining rare Yanmar 4JH57 propulsion with a high-capacity Victron lithium energy system, extensive solar generation, hydro-generation and a 12 kW Fischer Panda generator, the result is a genuinely self-sufficient electrical architecture capable of supporting heavy loads, including air conditioning, watermaker operation (generator only), and domestic appliances, without reliance on shore power or continuous generator use.

Beyond its systems engineering, the yacht benefits from thoughtful owner-driven customization that enhances both safety and live-ability at sea. A full Garmin navigation suite, Starlink connectivity, Iridium satellite communications, and redundant safety systems provide offshore confidence.

Flexiteek decking, a full cockpit enclosure, upgraded audio/visual systems and extensive storage solutions create a practical and comfortable onboard environment.

With Coppercoat antifouling applied in 2021 and a meticulous maintenance history, this Saona 47 is genuinely turnkey. It offers a rare opportunity to acquire a proven bluewater catamaran that has already been optimized for autonomy, reliability and extended cruising from day one.

Alexis de Boucaud

By Alexis de Boucaud

Alexis grew up racing dinghies in the waters of Brittany, France. He immigrated to the United States as a young man and developed his interest in offshore cruising and racing in New England and the Bahamas. Alexis began his professional yachting career as a charter captain sailing the storied seas of French Polynesia on a Fountaine-Pajot Marquises 56 catamaran. There he developed a talent for sharing and communicating his love for bluewater sailing to his worldly guests. More recently, Alexis spent ten years managing Nautor’s Swan Charters, a high-end charter company with over fifty Swans based in the Caribbean, New England and the Mediterranean. While at Nautor’s Swan, Alexis coordinated sales of new yachts through the French defiscalisation program. He later instituted a successful yacht sales and management program to develop the fleet in non-French territories. This experience gave him substantial experience in the many facets of yacht sales and brokerage in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean. Alexis is bilingual English-French. He was educated in the United States and has worked in the US, Europe and the Caribbean. He has sailed extensively on multihulls and particularly enjoys performance cats.
