About

2017 Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 "Island Life"
U.S. Duty Paid | Professionally Maintained | Owners Version

Welcome aboard Island Life, a 2017 Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 featuring the highly sought-after Maestro 3 cabin / 3 head owners version layout. This elegantly appointed 40-foot sailing catamaran offers a perfect balance of spirited performance and luxurious comfort while at anchor. Having spent recent years cruising the turquoise waters of the British Virgin Islands, Island Life is now prepared for her next chapter, whether it be coastal exploration or a bluewater passage.

The Lucia 40 design offers light-filled living areas with expansive windows and sliding doors that create a seamless flow between the salon and galley. Accommodations are thoughtfully arranged, with the entire starboard hull dedicated to a private primary suite. This owners hull includes a large island bed, extensive storage, and an oversized ensuite head with a separate stall shower. The port hull houses two comfortable guest staterooms, each complete with its own private ensuite head.

The Berret-Racoupeau design team brought the deck space and beam of larger catamarans to a size manageable for a family or single-handed sailor, making the Lucia 40 one of Fountaine Pajots most successful models. Its contemporary profilefrom the distinctive forward-sloping coachroof to the expansive cockpitmakes it a top choice for the sailor who wants to live comfortably aboard a very stylish cat.

Sailing is made effortless by a raised helm station where all lines and winches are within reach, including an electric winch dedicated to the mainsail. With a fully battened mainsail and furling genoa easily controlled from the safety of the helm, you will appreciate the intuitive handling and simplicity offered by this exceptional catamaran.

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

I would go through them again in a future purchase.
