Discover the new FP48

by Fountaine Pajot 10 Oct 13:33 BST

Successor to the iconic Tanna 47, the new catamaran FP48 brings next-level comfort, equipment and technology. Effortless to sail, even with a small crew. Ready to head off on your next big journey?

The FP48 is a dream catamaran for the owner's ideal ocean adventures.

At nearly 15 meters long, the FP48 is surprising by her efficient layout. The living space is all about ergonomic innovation. The saloon and cockpit connect through a wide 3-meter sliding door, opening up the whole area to create one big space. At the back you will find a relaxing area adjacent to the water: relax on the chaise longue in total privacy as you watch the wake, or hang out with the others on the large cockpit bench and cosy seats. Prefer a higher point of view? Make the most of the view from the rooftop sun loungers or head to the front deck, fully fitted with optional loungers. The only challenge will be having to choose...

A unique owner's space for a sailing catamaran of this size. The entire port side is dedicated to a full-suite layout, including a versatile bonus room, which can be optionally converted into a walk-in wardrobe.

A private space for everyone, enjoyment for all

While everyone finds their own space on the FP48, there are plenty of dedicated spots to come together. The cockpit table comfortably seats 8 guests, just like the roof lounge - perfect for a refreshing drink under the stars. A great chance to reflect on the day behind you... and dream about the one ahead.

Waking up every day on the sea, facing new landscapes. Isn't this precisely the essence of travelling?

Equipped with 2,300W solar panels seamlessly integrated into the roof, the FP48 offers the best in clean, sustainable power. Whether it's for everyday use onboard or the quiet ODSea+ propulsion system, energy is no longer a limitation - it's a resource you control, based on your needs and desires.

Unique design and incomparable spaces

With her central location and walk-through design, the kitchen area stands out on the FP48. A large cooling unit within easy reach, a central kitchen island featuring a bar and plenty of storage, plus direct access to the front cockpit. This kitchen truly is the heart of life on board, just steps away from the elevated helm station.
