About
**New To Market**
Meet Aratui an immaculate 2021 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 owners version that is Blue water ready, Tax Paid and available immediately in Fort Lauderdale.
Aratui has had one owner since new and a plethora of factory options, enhancements, and extras. With a commitment to peak performance, the vessel has undergone annual haul-outs for routine maintenance, ensuring optimal condition. Notably, for three years, it has seen gentle use, being enjoyed for only six months per year. The engine rooms pictured are a testament to the condition this boat has been kept in.
The Elba 45 arguably has the best resale in this size and price range and sits in the "sweet spot" for the cruising couple or family looking to sail in comfort without compromising on sailability. The flybridge (Lounge deck) adds an entirely new living space without raising the boom thus keeping the centre of effort low and ultimately creating a vessel that can sail particularly well without compromising on comfort at anchor. The Helm station has a visual on both the cockpit and the lounge deck allowing the helmsman to interact with the crew whilst staying protected from the elements.
Please read the detailed inventory carefully as the vessel is very well equipped adding considerable value. The aftermarket sail options alone are substantial.

Andrew, and Andrew are both fantastic. Transaction was smooth and professional highly recommend the team over at Multihull.
I just purchased my first large boat (my dreamboat) and Michael Streng and the rest of TMC was amazing! I really felt like I was a VIP customer because they were fast and easy to communicate with and worked ahead of me. It really was a treat and I would use them again any day!
Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company have done an extraordinary job facilitating the sale of our catamaran. There were a couple of challenges (geography and timing) that made this sale a little tricky, but, as usual, Andrew was amazing. I’ve been buying and selling cruising boats for over 12 years and Andrew is, without a doubt, the best broker I’ve worked with.
Andrew Hodgdon at TMC-St. Augustine kept us thoroughly informed during the sale of our boat and took the extra steps necessary to complete the deal. His knowledge of the process made a complex deal very easy. Needless to say, we are extremely happy and satisfied with the job that Andrew did.
A shout out to Andrew Holland at the TMC main office, who handled the closing transaction of the sale of our boat. Very professional and thorough. Thank you!!
