Fountaine Pajot

Embark on a maritime journey with Fountaine Pajot, a distinguished yacht builder renowned for its sailing catamarans and an increasingly sought-after range of multihull motor yachts.

Established in 1976 near La Rochelle on France's Atlantic coast, Fountaine Pajot pioneered series production of multihull yachts, earning a prominent position in the boatbuilding industry. The extensive selection of new and used Fountaine-Pajot yachts for sale attests to its enduring legacy. With several thousand catamarans produced, both power and sail, the company continues to build at a steady pace, crafting 150-180 yachts annually.

Fountaine Pajot boasts an active R&D department, driving innovation in manufacturing techniques. Notably, the use of injection molding in yacht hulls, a pioneering approach by Fountaine Pajot, has become widely adopted by boatbuilders globally. While early models emphasized high performance, the recent evolution led by Fountaine Pajot shifts towards astonishingly spacious and serene yachts. This trajectory, away from lightweight, high-speed vessels designed for rough seas, now dominates over 90% of the multihull sector's total production.
