2024 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 Catamaran

The 2024 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 is a three-cabin, three-head fiberglass catamaran powered by twin 100 hp Volvo diesel engines. The design emphasizes open, naturally lit interiors with flowing connections between helm, salon, and outdoor spaces. A U-shaped galley opens to the cockpit through a sliding glass door, supporting both active sailing and relaxed entertaining.

The accommodations feature the Comfort package specification, representing the top level available for this model. The layout prioritizes unobstructed movement throughout the boat, blending helm functionality with generous living areas and sleeping quarters across three staterooms.

The engine and generator show minimal run time—197 hours on the main engines and 166 hours on the 9kW generator—indicating very light use. Power systems include 400W solar panels and 150Ah battery storage, supported by a DC water maker. Climate control and galley appliances comprise a dishwasher, washer/dryer combination, and optional freezer and aft deck refrigerator.

Additional equipment includes a Highfield tender with 20 hp Suzuki outboard on an optional lift and swim platform, full cockpit enclosures, underwater lighting, aft deck teak, a grille station, Starlink connectivity, and Fusion/Bose audio system.
