Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 Maestro | Fully Equipped Offshore Luxury Catamaran
This Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 Maestro (Hull #47) is far more than a production cruising catamaran. Designed and upgraded for a knowledgeable owner with an uncompromising focus on offshore capability, self-sufficiency, comfort, and long-term liveaboard cruising, this yacht represents an extraordinary turnkey opportunity.
From her extensive factory equipment package to her custom post-delivery upgrades, every aspect of this vessel has been carefully selected to create one of the most capable and comfortable Elba 45s available today.

Integrel high-output charging system
Dual 9kW high-performance alternators
Victron lithium battery bank 6×200 Ah
Victron Quattro inverter/charger
Cerbo GX monitoring system
Multiple MPPT solar charge controllers
Advanced battery monitoring and management systems
Large-format solar array installation-1200W
This is the type of electrical infrastructure typically seen aboard purpose-built expedition catamarans and allows owners to enjoy quiet anchorages with minimal generator use.
A Serious Bluewater Cruising Platform
The vessel has been continuously upgraded to improve reliability, safety, and ease of operation, including:
Elvstrøm Blue Water Runner sail package
Premium stainless anchor chain
Fuel polishing system
Racor fuel filtration upgrades
Garmin Panoptix sonar system
Garmin camera system
Iridium satellite communications
Rope cutters on both shafts
Deck wash system with fresh and seawater supply
Upgraded rigging components
Windlass improvements
Water purification systems
Engine monitoring enhancements
Extensive onboard spares inventory.
Unmatched Comfort at Anchor
Life aboard has been elevated well beyond standard Elba specifications.
Every exterior seating and entertainment area is protected by a complete custom enclosure system, featuring:
Custom black mesh screens throughout
Interchangeable black canvas weather panels
Full clear enclosure panels for winter and shoulder-season cruising
Flexible configurations for privacy, weather protection, airflow, and bug control
This creates several additional “outdoor rooms” and dramatically expands the yacht’s comfortable living space.
The owner’s cabin has been upgraded with a custom organic latex mattress made from toxin-free materials, providing exceptional comfort aboard. Guest accommodations include recently replaced mattresses plus an additional brand-new factory spare mattress.
Residential-Quality Liveaboard Amenities
The galley rivals many luxury waterfront condos and includes:
Dual Vitifrigo refrigerated drawers
Whirlpool Induction cooktop
Full-size convection oven/microwave combination
Expansive storage and preparation areas
This setup makes extended cruising and full-time living aboard effortless.
An Adventure Package Included
Unlike most brokerage offerings, this yacht conveys with a substantial inventory of premium equipment.
Included is a Seabob personal watercraft, valued at approximately $15,000, providing an exciting way to explore reefs, beaches, and anchorages.
The boat also comes with:
Thousands of dollars of brand-new Harken and Lewmar hardware
Spare blocks
Shackles
Sheets and rigging components
Replacement sailing gear
Mechanical spare parts
Electrical spare parts
Complete professional-grade tool inventory
Cruising consumables and maintenance supplies accumulated specifically for world cruising
This inventory alone represents years of preparation and a significant investment that would otherwise need to be duplicated by a new owner.
The Bottom Line
This Elba 45 was not outfitted for occasional weekends at the dock. She was equipped and upgraded with the goal of creating a self-sufficient, luxury cruising platform capable of crossing oceans, exploring remote destinations, and serving as a comfortable floating home.
For the buyer looking to skip years of upgrades and expense, Hull #47 delivers an exceptionally rare combination of factory options, custom enhancements, premium systems, adventure equipment, spare parts inventory, and liveaboard comfort.
Simply put, this is one of the most comprehensively equipped and thoughtfully upgraded Elba 45s on the market today.
Energy Independence: Built to Stay Off the Grid
One of the most impressive aspects of this Elba 45 is the level of investment made into creating a truly self-sufficient cruising platform. While many production catamarans rely heavily on shore power or frequent generator use, Hull #47 was specifically configured to support long-term anchoring and offshore cruising with minimal dependence on marinas and significantly reduced generator run time.
At the center of the system is a dual-engine Integrel energy generation package, a technology more commonly found aboard high-end expedition and performance cruising yachts. Rather than relying solely on traditional alternators, the Integrel system converts surplus engine power into substantial electrical output while underway, effectively turning both Volvo D2-60 engines into powerful energy generators. This allows the yacht to replenish battery reserves quickly while sailing or motoring.
Supporting the charging system is a massive Victron-based lithium energy bank, consisting of six Victron Smart Lithium batteries paired with a Victron Quattro inverter/charger, Cerbo GX monitoring, GX Touch display, VE.Bus battery management, and multiple DC-DC converters. This creates a highly integrated electrical ecosystem that provides real-time system monitoring, efficient charging, and seamless onboard power management.
To further reduce reliance on fossil fuels, the vessel was upgraded with a planned 1,200-watt solar array utilizing three SunPower Maxeon 400W panels, connected to Victron MPPT charge controllers for maximum efficiency. This solar generation capability allows the yacht to continuously replenish batteries throughout the day while quietly sitting at anchor.
What makes this system truly valuable is not simply the hardware itself, but what it enables aboard:
Full-time refrigeration and freezer operation
Air conditioning use when conditions allow
Watermaker operation without power concerns
Continuous operation of navigation electronics
Starlink and communications systems
Induction cooking appliances
Residential-style galley equipment
Entertainment systems and TVs
High-capacity lighting and onboard comfort systems
Extended remote anchoring with minimal generator dependence
Combined with the factory-installed 180L/hr watermaker, this yacht is capable of producing both its own electrical power and freshwater while cruising, dramatically increasing autonomy and reducing dependency on shoreside infrastructure.
For liveaboards and serious cruisers, energy independence is about more than convenience. It means spending weeks in pristine anchorages rather than chasing marinas. It means running air conditioning, refrigeration, communications, and water systems without constantly monitoring battery levels. It means quieter nights, lower fuel consumption, reduced maintenance, and a more enjoyable cruising lifestyle.
The result is an Elba 45 capable of supporting the comforts of a luxury waterfront condo while maintaining the freedom to explore remote islands, secluded bays, and offshore destinations far from shore power. Few brokerage catamarans in this size range offer this level of electrical infrastructure, and even fewer come fully commissioned and proven rather than requiring a new owner to invest the time, expense, and complexity of installation themselves.
In short, Hull #47 was not outfitted merely to visit destinations. She was outfitted to stay there.

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.
The Multihull Company made the process of buying our boat easy and predictable. Both our agent (Francisco Montaner) and Andrew Holland communicated well and educated/informed us of each step in the process. I highly recommend The Multihull Company for those shopping for a catamaran!
Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.
We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
