Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 - 3 + 1 cab. - QLF - 2018

Set sail from Marseille aboard this 2018 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42, a spacious catamaran built for comfort and ease across the sparkling waters of the French Riviera and beyond. With three cabins plus a convertible fourth berth, this 42-footer accommodates up to seven guests in genuine comfort—ideal for families or groups of friends seeking a week of Mediterranean sailing without compromise. The generous beam and stable platform of this catamaran make her an excellent choice for those new to bareboat chartering or anyone who values stability and living space over a sleek monohull experience. Life aboard revolves around genuine relaxation and connection. The air conditioning keeps cabins cool during warm Provence summers, while the washing machine means you travel light and stay fresh. A full-sized refrigerator, barbecue, and television create a floating home where everyone finds their rhythm—whether that's gathering on deck for evening aperitifs or enjoying a film night in the saloon. The generator and solar panels ensure reliable power throughout your week, so modern conveniences never feel like a luxury but rather a natural part of your routine. Navigating the Côte d'Azur becomes intuitive with the GPS chartplotter, autopilot, and AIS system aboard, allowing you to focus on the sailing itself or simply relax while the boat finds her way. The lazy-bag main sail and twin 40-kW engines make anchoring in hidden coves effortless, whether you're exploring the Îles d'Hyères, the Calanques near Cassis, or pushing further toward the Lérins Islands. Solar panels and a robust battery bank mean you can spend days at anchor without concern, charging devices and running essentials silently. Picture your final evening: anchored in crystalline water off a quiet Provençal cove, the sun melting into the horizon as you grill fresh fish on the barbecue, the gentle rock of the catamaran beneath your feet, and a week of Mediterranean memories already becoming stories you'll retell for years.
