About
Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 – Owner’s Version | Fully Equipped Bluewater Cruiser
This Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 was purchased new by her German owners and has been exceptionally equipped for comfortable, long-distance offshore sailing. She has always remained privately owned and has never been chartered. This is the desirable 3-cabin Owner’s Version with a semi-flybridge, offering safe and ergonomic sail handling.
Delivered in France, she crossed to the Caribbean, transited the Panama Canal, and continued on to Tahiti. Having completed a true ocean passage, all systems have been properly tested and refined. The boat presents in near-new condition — an impressive example and a rare opportunity to acquire a proven yet beautifully maintained bluewater yacht.
Key Features
Lithium battery bank
1200W solar array
9kW generator
Full air conditioning
60L/h watermaker
120m² gennaker on fixed bowsprit
2 autopilots + autopilot remote
ForwardScan depth sounder
Ultramarine stainless steel anchor with 100m electropolished Chromox chain
3.4m aluminium Hypalon RIB
20hp outboard with electric start
Antifouling May 2025
Engines serviced November 2025
Powered by twin Volvo 50HP engines with only 750 hours and a full service history, she is equipped with folding propellers and additional jerry cans for extended cruising range. Her electrical setup allows for complete autonomy at sea, combining lithium batteries, substantial solar capacity, a generator, and a high-output watermaker.
Under sail, she is rigged with a full-batten Dacron mainsail, furling genoa, and a 120m² gennaker mounted on a fixed bowsprit for excellent downwind performance. Sail handling is managed through five winches, two of which are electric, making shorthanded sailing straightforward and safe.
The onboard electronics package is comprehensive, featuring a full Garmin navigation suite including radar, AIS, large chart plotter, forward scan depth sounder, and dual VHF radios at the helm and chart table. A Fusion sound system and Starlink connectivity provide modern onboard comfort and communication.
The Owner’s Version layout offers a spacious private suite to starboard with a double island berth, dedicated study area, separate shower, and freshwater electric toilet. Forward of the suite is a practical utility and storage area incorporating a washing machine.
The three double cabins are fitted with slatted bed bases for ventilation, custom-made fitted sheets and full bed linen, blackout blinds, curtains, and fans to complement the air conditioning.
The saloon and cockpit are thoughtfully equipped for liveaboard comfort, including dual refrigerators, a large freezer, a three-burner gas stove with Airlux oven, and an additional induction cooktop. The saloon has been tastefully customised with secure designer lighting, dark grey curtains, and practical additions such as custom cup holders and crystal glass storage.
She is being sold fully equipped for immediate cruising, including complete galley inventory, microwave, Nespresso machine, toaster, cordless vacuum, printer, and safe. Even the forepeaks have been intelligently organised with custom storage solutions for easy access and neat rope management.
This is a turnkey bluewater catamaran in immaculate condition, fully proven, fully equipped, and ready to set sail.
