Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 (2024)

Mylène and Pierrick, owners of the catamaran. Boat rental with skipper (mandatory), provisioning (option), and hostess (option). As boat owners - and navigation and safety professionals - we welcome you to make your stay a unique experience of relaxation and discovery, in a friendly atmosphere. We want to offer you the concept of a guest room applied to the boat: you are on a guest catamaran! We can easily communicate with you in French, English, or Italian. Designed for cruising, our Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 catamaran is among the most comfortable and modern boats in its category. The interior and exterior layouts contribute equally to preserving privacy and fostering conviviality. It offers spacious volumes while remaining human-sized. When you board the boat, you will discover the immense bathing platform, which lowers to 40 centimeters below water level for easy swimming. The generous cockpit welcomes you with a large dining table, a plancha, and a small fridge. At the front of the Astréa 42, the sunbathing areas and generous nets are ideal spaces for relaxing naps or sunset aperitifs. The interior of the boat offers comfort and conviviality. The spacious saloon features large windows that flood the living area with natural light. The U-shaped kitchen, centralized and communicating with the cockpit, promotes conviviality and practicality in daily life. 3 almost identical cabins have their own bathroom (+1 cabin for the owners). 2 cabins offer a shared shower but individual toilet and sink areas. 1 cabin has its own bathroom (showerhead above the sink with a shower curtain). Thanks to the water and electricity autonomy of our catamaran, it is not necessary to stop at ports. Only the weather may disrupt the program to always sail safely. Each cabin is equipped with air conditioning. Eco-friendly cruise. Environmental respect is important to us. Choosing to travel by sailboat, using only the power of the wind, is already a strong commitment to eco-responsibility. On our catamaran, we go further by minimizing the environmental impact of your stay as much as possible. Navigation mostly uses a gentle propulsion mode: sails for the catamaran and an electric motor for the dinghy. The boat is equipped with sustainable technologies such as a water desalinator and an osmosis system for water autonomy, and photovoltaic panels for electricity. We only offer non-motorized water activities (paddle, snorkeling...) or with an electric motor (mini-marine scooter and e-foil). We provide you with cosmetic products that have a lesser impact on marine fauna and flora. We use environmentally friendly cleaning products. We prioritize local food products (and sometimes certified organic) in meal preparation (if the option is chosen). Competent crew. After several years of sailing for pleasure, we have obtained the necessary qualifications to ensure the quality of your experience aboard our guest catamaran (Captain's License 200, basic safety training certificate). In 2024, we left our jobs as managers in the industry and administration to dedicate our lives to sharing our passion and discovering the treasures of the Mediterranean. Regardless of the option chosen, Mylène (hostess) remains on board to assist the skipper. Children under 10 years old will unfortunately not be accepted for safety reasons (discussions can be initiated for children aged 8 and above).
