About Fountaine Pajot 40

If anyone in your group worries about the motion of the sea, the Fountaine Pajot 40 is the answer. Fountaine Pajot is the French yard best known for its catamarans, and this is one of its power catamarans: two hulls instead of one, and engines rather than sails. A wide beam gives a level, steady platform, and many guests find a catamaran noticeably calmer at anchor than a monohull of similar size. Decks are broad and flat, which makes moving around easy for children, grandparents and anyone carrying a glass.

She takes up to 10 guests and is our first choice for families. A favourite full day heads east for about 45–60 minutes to the Ria Formosa, a lagoon protected by sandy barrier islands, with calm water and long beaches that are ideal for younger swimmers. Westwards, three or four hours take you to the coves around Albufeira for a swim, and a full day reaches the coastline between Benagil and Carvoeiro, where the catamaran stays outside the protected cave. The two-hour sunset is a relaxed cruise to the cliffs of Falésia, about 10–15 minutes away, with plenty of deck space to watch the light change.

The skipper and crew, fuel for the usual coastal route, drinks and snacks are included, and every price is for the whole catamaran, not per person. See all our catamaran charters, or compare the monohull yachts on our Vilamoura yacht charter page.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose a power catamaran?

Two hulls give a wide, level platform. Many guests find a catamaran steadier at anchor than a monohull, and the flat, open decks are easy to move around, which is why families often prefer one.

Is the Fountaine Pajot 40 good for children?

Yes. The broad decks and the steady motion suit young families, and a full day to the calm water of the Ria Formosa is a favourite with children.

How many guests can the catamaran take?

Up to 10 guests, plus the skipper and crew.

How much does the Fountaine Pajot 40 cost?

The 2-hour sunset is €1,000, 3 hours €1,350, 4 hours €1,750 and 5 hours €1,950. A full day costs €2,650 for 7 hours or €3,000 for 8 hours, for the whole catamaran.
