2026 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 Catamaran

The 2026 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 is a 45-foot composite catamaran built for cruising in moderate to tropical waters. Powered by twin Yanmar diesel engines of 90 hp each, it reaches a maximum speed of 10 knots with a cruising speed of 8 knots. The hull design and generous sail plan deliver responsive performance under sail across varying conditions. The beam of 25 feet provides the platform's characteristic stability and interior volume.

The Maestro layout prioritizes space and privacy, with a full-width owner's suite in one hull and dedicated guest cabins in the other. Five cabins and five heads support extended cruising or charter use. The design emphasizes flow from the elevated cockpit through the main salon to the lounge deck, creating a continuous living space. An electric swim platform and comprehensive deck layout support both sailing and anchoring comfort.

The boat integrates Fountaine Pajot's ODSea+ hybrid energy system, featuring upgraded lithium battery banks and advanced power management for extended silent operation at anchor. This reduces generator dependency and improves efficiency during cruising. Standard equipment includes a 52,000 BTU air conditioning system, Garmin navigation suite with radar, AIS and autopilot, and synthetic teak throughout. The specification reflects a North American and Caribbean cruising configuration.
