2021 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 Catamaran

The 2021 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 is a fiberglass catamaran built for extended cruising. At 44 feet in length with a 25-foot beam, she combines the stability and interior volume of a multihull with performance suited to ocean passages. Twin 120-horsepower Volvo diesel engines drive her to a cruising speed of 7.5 knots and maximum speed of 9 knots.

The Maestro version features three double cabins and three heads arranged across both hulls, with an expansive owner's suite occupying the entire starboard hull. The saloon offers 360-degree visibility and opens to multiple outdoor entertaining areas: aft lounges, a foredeck, and a hardtop flybridge. Interior spaces are bright and designed around comfort for extended voyages.

The catamaran carries an extensive inventory of systems and gear suited to blue-water cruising. Equipment includes lithium battery banks, air conditioning, a generator, solar panels, a watermaker, washing machine, Garmin chartplotting electronics, davits, electric winches, and a full sail plan comprising mainsail, genoa, gennaker, spinnaker, and Code 0. The boat's inverted bow design extends waterline length and improves performance while maintaining handling ease for sailors of varying experience.
