Fountaine Pajot was founded in 1976 by Jean-François Fountaine, Yves Pajot, Daniel Givon and Rémi Tristan, who shared a passion for sailing and racing as well as a dream of creating their own shipyard. The shipyard launched its first catamaran in 1983, and the company has been committed to becoming and remaining the very best in the cruising catamaran industry. Fountaine Pajot’s range of sailing catamarans have been designed with remarkable living space and superb levels of comfort and performance so you can share all the pleasures of a premium cruising lifestyle. The Fountaine Pajot Group aims to become a pioneer in the environmental transition of the marine industry. This is the major objective that it has set itself for the coming years with its Odysséa 2024 business plan. The Aura 51 is the first Fountaine Pajot model to be equipped with electric motors and an intelligent on-board energy management system in her Smart Electric® version. This new technology is the result of a collaborative work between the Fountaine Pajot teams and experts in energy transition, supported by the ODSea Lab innovation platform, created by Fountaine Pajot.
