Dear owners and passionate adventurers, once again, you answered the call of the Fountaine Pajot Photo Contest #MyBoatAndI2024!

Thanks to you, this seventh edition has been a true tribute to the beauty and emotion of sailing aboard a Fountaine Pajot catamaran.

With more than 600 entries, we were amazed by the diversity and creativity of your contributions. Each photo and each video tells a unique story, a shared adventure, and reflects your passion for life at sea aboard a Fountaine Pajot catamaran.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Garmin, official partner of Fountaine Pajot, for its valuable support, which allows us to celebrate these unforgettable moments with such outstanding rewards.
