The Astréa 42 is distinguished by its abundance of natural light, energetic lines, elegant living spaces and unparalleled comfort, while delivering exceptional performance underway.
The catamaran demonstrates the boatyard’s commitment to innovation while preserving the classic identity of the Fountaine Pajot sailing catamarans’ range. The Astréa 42 features all the elements that contributed to making the shipyard’s latest release, the Saona 47, an international success. Her inverted bow, the new signature mark of the range, gives the boat an elegant and dynamic line while offering incomparable interior space.
The Astréa 42 was conceived and designed to facilitate free-flowing movement throughout the boat, as well as linking the helm station with the outdoor relaxation and living spaces from coachroof to cockpit.
The coachroof features a double seat at the helmstation and a built-in sun lounger for enjoying idyllic downtime at sea. The spacious cockpit, equipped with an optional integrated plancha grill, is the perfect place to relax and feel at one with the ocean, enhanced by the Beach Club option that provides an embedded gangway flush with her line.
The comfortable lounge has been designed with expansive panoramic windows that bathe the interior in natural light. Her U-shaped galley transitions seamlessly with the cockpit courtesy of a vast sliding pocket door.
Available in two versions – Owner and Quatuor – with 12 bathroom layout options, the Astréa 42 has everything needed to clients’ casual or extended cruising dreams.
