2019 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 Owners Version | SV KAYA
19 is a beautifully presented 2019 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 Owner’s Version, extensively upgraded and thoughtfully configured for serious offshore cruising without compromising the comfort and refinement expected from a premium modern catamaran. Built by Fountaine Pajot, the Astrea 42 has earned global recognition for its balance of sailing performance, liveability and elegant design — and Kaya stands out as one of the finest examples available.
Originally launched in France in 2019, Kaya cruised European waters before being stored ashore in Denmark during the Baltic winter. Acquired by her current New Zealand owners during the Covid period and subsequently shipped to New Zealand, she has since completed multiple successful offshore passages to Fiji, proving herself as a safe, capable and exceptionally comfortable bluewater cruiser.
What truly distinguishes Kaya is the extraordinary level of refinement and owner-focused upgrades throughout the vessel. Designed and equipped by experienced offshore sailors, she features a custom hard bimini with Strataglass enclosure, dual electric Lewmar winches, extensive stainless grab rails, upgraded anchoring systems and comprehensive helm integration including iPad navigation support.
Her electrical and energy systems are equally impressive, featuring 600Ah Juice lithium batteries, 2000W of solar through Victron Energy MPPT systems, dual autopilots, Starlink Mini, PredictWind integration and Iridium GO communications. Every aspect of the vessel has been configured with offshore redundancy, safety and ease of operation in mind.
The sail inventory is comprehensive, including mainsail, genoa, screecher, symmetrical spinnaker and storm jib, complemented by upgraded Dyneema running rigging and enhanced mast hardware. Comfort aboard is exceptional, with diesel heating, premium audio, upgraded saloon furnishings and extensive onboard storage supporting luxurious long-term cruising.
Presented in outstanding condition and supported by recent upgrades including a new windlass, new liferaft and current EWOF certification, Kaya represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely turn-key offshore cruising catamaran of exceptional quality.
Inspection will absolutely impress.
