Certified Nextsail Pre-Owned Used Catamarans: A New Way to Set Sail for Your Next Adventure

The boating market is evolving. Today, the majority of transactions involve used boats, proving that a well-designed yacht retains its value and continues to inspire long after its first launch. For sailing enthusiasts looking for used catamarans or second hand sailboats, this trend creates exciting new opportunities: access to a high-quality yacht that is ready to sail while benefiting from professional support throughout the process.

This vision led the Fountaine Pajot Group to launch Vélite, its new international brokerage division dedicated to yacht sales and resale. Designed as a global network of pre-owned yacht specialists, the platform aims to make the purchase and sale of yachts simpler, more transparent, and more secure.

To take this commitment even further, Vélite has developed its own certification label: Nextsail.

Exclusively available for Fountaine Pajot used catamarans and Dufour second hand sailboats, the program is built on strict eligibility criteria, independent inspections, and globally harmonized standards. Depending on eligibility, certified yachts also benefit from a dedicated warranty program.

For buyers, this means greater transparency regarding the yacht’s condition and enhanced peace of mind. For sellers, certification acts as a powerful value-enhancing tool that increases both credibility and market appeal.

A Fountaine Pajot yacht is more than a boat. It is the continuation of a story that unfolds across oceans, adventures, and generations.

For nearly fifty years, Fountaine Pajot has helped sailors turn their dreams of life on the water into reality. Through Vélite and Nextsail, this vision now extends across the entire lifecycle of the yacht, from purchase to future ownership transfer.

Because a great catamaran is designed not only to cross oceans, but also to stand the test of time.
