2024 Fountaine Pajot Isla 40

The 2024 Fountaine Pajot Isla 40 is a modern fiberglass catamaran built for extended cruising. Measuring 128 feet in length with a 22-foot beam, she offers the spacious accommodation and stability that defines the type. Power comes from two Volvo 30 hp diesel engines with folding propellers. The yacht carries a full suite of sails including a fully battened main, roller genoa, and gennaker with bowsprit.

The three-cabin, two-head layout provides comfortable accommodation for cruising. The master suite occupies the starboard hull with an ensuite shower and separate toilet. The port hull contains two guest cabins and a shared head. The saloon features an L-shaped galley, U-shaped seating with a coffee table, and a dedicated navigation station. An expansive cockpit includes a dining table for six to eight people and additional seating at the helm and bow.

The electrical system reflects a modern long-range cruising specification. Power comes from a 220 Ah lithium battery bank alongside 345 Ah of AGM service batteries. A Paguro 5.5 kW generator, 1080 watts of solar panels, and a Rainman water maker rated at 130 liters per hour support extended offshore passages. Navigation and communication equipment includes dual Garmin 8410 chart plotters with Smart Cruise integration, a Garmin autopilot, radar, and dual VHF radios with AIS. A Starlink terminal provides connectivity at sea.

Domestic systems include an electric freshwater maker, pressurized hot and cold water, two electric heads with holding tanks, a three-burner gas cooker, convection microwave, washing machine, and separate freezer. Self-tailing winches are fitted throughout, with electric controls at the helm for the mainsail halyard and anchor windlass. The boat carries a Highfield dinghy with 20 hp Honda outboard, comprehensive safety gear including an offshore life raft, and full operational manuals.
