Description
The Isla 40 is the access model to the Fountaine Pajot range: like a flagship, she is our standard bearer. Her name is a self-evident and she sets the benchmark for sailing catamarans of this size.
Proud successor of the Lucia 40, this new 12-meter sailing catamaran perfectly embodies the spirit and innovative design of Fountaine Pajot.
Her inverted bows, her innovative saloon where the chart table adjacent to the entrance gives way to a “total relaxation” lounger, her performances and her habitability (3 or 4 double cabins + an optional crew cabin) combine to make this new model an exceptional catamaran.
The Isla 40 stands out, like her big sisters, with elegant and invigorating lines, recognizable among all the rest.
