2024 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45

For sale is a Fountaine Pajot Elba 45, a modern sailing catamaran from a recent production period that combines comfort, contemporary design and forgiving, easy-handling sailing characteristics. The yacht was ordered directly from Fountaine Pajot by the current owner in early 2024 and personally taken delivery of in La Rochelle (France). The maiden voyage subsequently led across the Bay of Biscay, along the Portuguese Atlantic coast, to Palma de Mallorca. There, the vessel was thoroughly inspected and technically refined under the shipyard warranty. In December 2025, the catamaran was transferred to Montenegro (Bar), where she is currently winterized and available for inspection. The Elba 45 is well known for its balanced concept, combining compact handling with generous interior and exterior space. The modern exterior design with clean lines, integrated deck hatches and spacious living areas creates an open, functional platform for life on board. Hull shape and rig are designed for comfortable cruising and provide stable, well-controlled handling both under sail and under power. With an overall length of 13.45 m and a beam of 7.55 m, the yacht offers a pleasant sense of space while remaining easy to handle in harbors and during anchoring maneuvers. The shallow draft of approximately 1.20 m allows access to shallow anchorages and increases flexibility when choosing cruising grounds. Below deck, the Elba 45 impresses with abundant natural light and a well-considered layout. A key feature of this yacht is the ownerʼs version, with the entire port hull dedicated to a private ownerʼs suite. This area offers significantly more space and privacy than a conventional multi-cabin layout. In addition to the double bed, the ownerʼs hull features numerous large wardrobes as well as a dedicated work and storage area. The en-suite bathroom in the ownerʼs hull is generously sized and designed with practicality in mind. The large longitudinal shower provides ample freedom of movement, while the toilet is arranged separately – a layout that noticeably enhances both living comfort and everyday usability. Overall, this creates a self-contained living area that is particularly appreciated by owners planning longer stays on board or extended bluewater cruising. The layout further includes two additional double guest cabins in the starboard hull, each with its own en-suite head. The open-plan saloon with adjoining galley offers good freedom of movement, ample storage space and pleasant panoramic visibility, making it well suited for longer periods on board. The exterior areas are functional and designed for relaxed life afloat. The cockpit, with its seating and lounge areas, provides space for social gatherings, while the foredeck offers additional sunbathing areas for quiet moments at anchor. From a technical standpoint, this Elba 45 features a solid and practical equipment specification for comfortable cruising. The navigation electronics are up to date and allow
