2018 FOUNTAINE PAJOT LUCIA 40 SEA LYON

3-Cabins | 2-Heads | Owners Version

U.S. Duty Paid

The Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 is a well-designed 40-foot cruising catamaran known for its spacious layout, comfortable living areas, and excellent sailing performance. With a wide 21-foot beam, bright panoramic salon, and multiple cabin configurations, it offers exceptional space and stability for coastal cruising or extended liveaboard adventures. Built by the renowned French yard Fountaine Pajot, the Lucia 40 combines efficient twin-engine performance with the comfort and practicality modern sailors expect.

Sea Lyon is an excellent example of this proven model. Her current owners took ownership in 2019. Since then, they have made multiple trips up and down the East Coast, cruising the Bahamas and Florida Keys. Sea Lyon also served in a professional charter operation in the Chesapeake and Key West.

Whether you are interested in sailing nearshore or far from sight of land, Sea Lyon is perfectly equipped. Continue to view this listing for a comprehensive walkthrough of the boat. Contact me today with any questions and to schedule a private showing!

    We take pride in our happy customers

    We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon to find our dream boat, an Outremer 52.

    We were actually referred to him by several different people—clients who had been very happy working with him, as well as boat owners who were planning to use him to sell their own boats. After working with Andrew ourselves, we completely understand why he came so highly recommended.

    We worked with him for several months, and from start to finish, he was exceptional. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and truly an expert when it comes to performance catamarans. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, was always responsive and organized, and never made us feel pressured throughout the process.

    Andrew went above and beyond to arrange showings for us in multiple states and even traveled to another state to be there with us for the sea trial. His expertise and guidance gave us tremendous confidence as we evaluated such a significant purchase.

    The entire process could have been overwhelming, but he made it remarkably smooth. He was on top of every detail and made the paperwork and closing process easy, working seamlessly with his team at The Multihull Company.

    What impressed us most was that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. And his support didn’t end when the sale was completed. He has continued to stay in touch and has made it clear that he is still available to help us if we ever need him. That kind of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of broker he is.

    Buying an Outremer 52 was a huge decision and a major investment, and having someone with his knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and integrity made the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable.

    We couldn’t recommend Andrew Hodgdon more highly. If you’re looking for a yacht broker—especially if you’re considering a performance catamaran—we would choose him again without hesitation. The fact that so many people recommended him to us was the reason we called him, and after working with him, we would be one of those people recommending him to others.

    — Dana Mulay

    I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.

    — Chris Duckworth

    Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎

    — Corbin Massey

    I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.

    — Derek Schroeder

    Great Service, Great People
    Helped me through the process.
    I would go through them again in a future purchase.
