Discover this 2021 Fountaine Pajot Isla 40, currently lying in Italy and ready for new adventures. This vessel is an owner’s model that has been privately held and never placed into charter service, ensuring it has remained in excellent condition. As an EU VAT paid catamaran, it represents a straightforward acquisition for European buyers seeking a modern, high-quality sailing experience.
The Isla 40, designed by Berret-Racoupeau, succeeds the Lucia 40 with significant design refinements. The modern inverted stems create a longer waterline and provide increased buoyancy in the bow sections, enhancing stability during both coastal cruising and blue water passages. Safety is prioritized through a central helm station that ensures constant visual contact between crew members, along with integrated crash zones in the bow and sacrificial keels to protect the fiberglass hull.
Performance is bolstered by an upgraded engine configuration compared to the standard model, allowing for easier handling even with a reduced crew. The deck layout is focused on social interaction, featuring a spacious cockpit with comfortable seating and an open, airy galley that keeps the chef connected to guests while preparing meals.
Below deck, the layout features the spacious Maestro owner's cabin, complete with an en-suite bathroom, a separate walk-in shower, and ample storage suitable for a washing machine. Two additional guest cabins provide comfortable accommodations, with access to a shared head and a private bathroom, respectively.
This catamaran is ideally suited for couples or small families who prioritize living space and ease of operation without sacrificing sailing performance. The vessel is currently available for viewing through Schmidt & Partner International Yachtbrokers s.r.l. in Aprilia Marittima, Italy.
