2020 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 Catamaran

The 2020 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 is a fiberglass catamaran built on a 41-foot hull with a 24-foot beam, powered by twin 80-horsepower Volvo diesel engines. This modern cruising catamaran combines spacious accommodation with practical seagoing systems in a design known for easy handling and strong performance.

The interior features four private cabins, each with its own ensuite head, plus a single bow berth. This layout makes the boat equally suited to family cruising, group use, or charter operations. The saloon and cabin spaces benefit from the catamaran's generous volume, while the expansive cockpit, aft swim platform, and large foredeck lounge provide comfortable outdoor living areas.

The boat carries a comprehensive equipment package developed for extended cruising. Navigation electronics include a Garmin suite with chart plotter, GPS, autopilot, VHF with a second station at the helm, and AIS. Sail handling features a full-batten mainsail with stackpack and lazy jacks, furling genoa, electric halyard winch, automatic mainsail hook, and electric windlass. Power systems include a generator, 2000W inverter and charger, link pro battery monitor, and solar panels. Interior amenities comprise refrigeration with a 90-liter freezer, additional cockpit fridge, four electric heads, and air conditioning. The boat also carries a 10-person life raft, teak cockpit, and cushioning throughout the saloon and deck spaces.
