2019 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 – 3-Cabin Owner’s Version
Maestro 3-Cabin Layout | Tender Lift | Solar | Radar | Watermaker | Generator
Step aboard Brown Eyed Girl, a well-maintained 2019 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 presented in the highly desirable three-cabin Maestro Owner’s layout. Her owner has continued to invest in keeping her looking fresh and ready for her next adventure, with recent upgrades including new cockpit cushions and new trampolines.
The Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 has earned an excellent reputation for combining comfortable cruising, impressive interior volume, and enjoyable sailing performance in an easy-to-manage 42-foot package. Designed with extended cruising and relaxed island living in mind, the Astrea 42 offers exceptional space while remaining manageable for a cruising couple or family.
Desirable 3-Cabin Owner’s Layout
Unlike the more commonly found four-cabin versions, Brown Eyed Girl features the sought-after three-cabin Maestro Owner’s configuration.
The entire starboard hull is dedicated to the owner’s suite, creating a genuinely private living area with a spacious double berth, excellent storage, desk/vanity area, and a large private bathroom.
The port hull provides two comfortable guest cabins with excellent privacy, making this layout particularly well suited to private ownership, extended cruising, or entertaining family and friends.
Spacious Indoor & Outdoor Living
One of the standout features of the Astrea 42 is the connection between the salon and cockpit. Large sliding doors open the interior into the aft cockpit, creating one generous entertaining and living space.
The bright panoramic salon provides excellent visibility and natural light, with comfortable seating and dining, plus a well-equipped galley conveniently positioned between the interior and cockpit.
Outside, the generous aft cockpit provides plenty of room for dining, relaxing, and entertaining at anchor. Brown Eyed Girl’s recently refreshed cockpit cushions give this area a fresh appearance, while her new trampolines provide another great space to relax underway or at anchor.
Up forward, additional seating and lounging areas provide another excellent space to enjoy the boat, while the raised helm station offers good visibility and convenient access to the sail controls.
Well Equipped for Cruising
Brown Eyed Girl is well equipped for comfortable cruising and extended time aboard. Her desirable equipment includes a tender lift, solar panels, radar, a watermaker, and a generator, providing the additional independence and convenience sought by owners planning to spend significant time aboard.
The tender lift makes launching and retrieving the dinghy straightforward while also creating a convenient platform at the stern when the tender is in the water.
Solar generation and a watermaker add valuable self-sufficiency when cruising away from the dock, while the onboard generator provides additional power when required.
A Proven Cruising Catamaran
The Astrea 42 strikes an excellent balance between the space and comfort of a larger cruising catamaran and the ease of handling and lower operating costs of a more manageable yacht.
Under sail, she benefits from Fountaine Pajot’s long-standing reputation for building capable cruising catamarans, delivering enjoyable sailing performance while retaining the comfort and practicality expected from a modern cruising yacht.
Whether your plans involve exploring the Caribbean, spending extended periods aboard, or venturing further afield, Brown Eyed Girl is exceptionally well suited to private cruising.
With three spacious cabins, the entire starboard hull dedicated to the owner’s suite, generous indoor and outdoor living areas, a strong cruising inventory, and the proven Fountaine Pajot pedigree, Brown Eyed Girl offers a highly desirable combination of comfort, cruising capability, and manageable size.

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.
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.
Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎
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.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.

More About MultihullAnswer a few quick questions for your number. Every answer is saved to your Buyer Profile, so every boat on the site is priced for you.
A TMC buyer's broker will send line-by-line costs, what to check at survey, and how this boat compares with others that fit your plan.
Broad estimate by TMC based on the listing's published equipment, typical installed costs for this size of boat, and yard rates in the selected region. Not a survey, a quote or the listing broker's representation, and not a substitute for a professional marine survey. Verify all equipment and condition through a survey before you buy. Delivery, freight and financing figures are estimates; your broker confirms them.
