At Fountaine Pajot, innovation and responsibility have always guided our vision. Convinced that industrial adaptation and environmental respect are essential keys to the future of yachting, the shipyard continues its commitment by imagining a new generation of catamarans.

Timeless design, functional innovations, and sustainable navigation are at the heart of this ambition: to offer today's and tomorrow's sailors unique experiences, in harmony with the ocean.

Discover in an exclusive video Fountaine Pajot's vision and the first insights into this new generation of catamarans with the 2026 new models, unveiled by Romain Motteau, Deputy CEO.

5 new models in just one year:

Two new models already making waves

In September 2025, Fountaine Pajot announced the arrival of the FP41, followed in January by the FP44. First unveiled during the Open Days in La Rochelle, these two models will be officially presented to the public at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival before embarking on a worldwide tour. Their success already confirms the growing enthusiasm for a style of yachting that is ever more innovative and environmentally responsible.

Three new models on the horizon

Building on this momentum, Fountaine Pajot is proud to announce the upcoming arrival of three new models: the FP48, the FP55 and the FPY70s. Scheduled for spring 2026, they will make their world premiere at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival. With five new models launched in just one year, the shipyard is reaching an unprecedented milestone and reaffirming its role as a leader in the international catamaran market.

A new generation built to last

This new range embodies a strong identity, where the joy of sailing goes hand in hand with innovation and responsibility. It reflects more than ever Fountaine Pajot's determination to create sustainable models, designed to accompany sailors in their quest for freedom while respecting the oceans.

A new era is beginning for Fountaine Pajot, on the eve of its 50th anniversary, and this is only the beginning. Join us at the Cannes Yachting Festival for the unveiling of these new models. It will also be the opportunity to share more exclusive announcements and continue shaping the future of yachting together.
