Urteil
The 2017 Fountaine Pajot Lipari 41 is a capable, roomy cruising catamaran with strong livability and easy coastal passagemaking manners. It is not a true 41-footer in length, and its finishes are more functional than luxurious, but the layout and light, airy design remain appealing.
Vorteile
- +Wide beam creates a spacious cockpit and saloon connection
- +Raised saloon offers good visibility and natural light
- +Twin-engine catamaran layout supports straightforward close-quarters maneuvering
- +Accommodates 4 cabins while keeping decent privacy for charter use
Nachteile
- −LOA is about 39.2 ft, shorter than the model name suggests
- −Interior trim is practical rather than upscale
- −Performance is solid but not especially sporty compared with faster modern cats
- −Most comfortable with a light load; heavy charter packing can reduce liveliness
The Lipari 41 is a well-proportioned cruising catamaran from Fountaine Pajot, designed around volume, visibility, and easy onboard living. Public specifications place its length at about 39.2 ft, despite the 41-foot model name, with a beam of roughly 22 ft 1 in, which is a key reason the boat feels larger inside than its nominal length suggests.
On the water, the Lipari 41 has a reputation as a steady, forgiving cruiser rather than a high-adrenaline sailboat. Reviews describe respectable speed under sail, clean tacking behavior, and little bridgedeck slap in chop, while twin diesels make harbor handling manageable for a catamaran of this size. It is best viewed as an efficient family or charter cruiser, not a performance-oriented multihull.
Inside, the 4-cabin layout works well for charter groups of up to 8 sleeping guests, with the wider seating allowance sometimes listed up to 10 for day use. The raised saloon, good ventilation, and generous cockpit-to-cabin flow make it comfortable for extended stays aboard, though the finish level is more practical than premium and some details reflect cost-conscious construction.
In value terms, the Lipari 41 remains attractive in the used market because it balances usable space, decent sailing manners, and a proven charter-friendly layout. Buyers should weigh the boat’s solid livability against its age, moderate performance, and the fact that the model name can overstate its actual length.
