The FP41 nominated for ‘Multihull of the Year’ at the European Yacht of the Year!
5 September 2025
A great recognition for the FP41, which is thus beginning its first season in the spotlight.
As the new nautical season kicks off, the 12 European magazines that make up the jury of the EYOTY – European Yacht of the Year – have unveiled the nominees of their prestigious competition. With great pride, Fountaine Pajot announces that its latest model, the FP41, has been nominated in the Multihull of the Year category.
The EYOTY jury is composed of journalists from 12 leading European boating magazines: Yacht (Germany), Yachtrevue (Austria), Bådmagasinet (Denmark), Vene (Finland), Voiles & Voiliers (France), Zeilen (Netherlands), Superyacht24 (Italy), marina.ch (Switzerland), Seilmagasinet (Norway), Praktiskt Båtägande (Sweden), Náutica y Yates (Spain) and Yachting World (United Kingdom). These nautical experts test each year’s new launches for an audience of over one million passionate readers.
Media recognition from its very first sea trials
We are proud to see the FP41 represented at the European Yacht of the Year, alongside the season’s most significant innovations. On the occasion of its launch, Fountaine Pajot had the pleasure of presenting its brand-new model in preview during press trials held in La Rochelle last June and July, before embarking on a worldwide tour across the leading international boat shows this autumn.
These sea trials allowed the specialized press to discover a new-generation catamaran, already praised for its balance of performance, design, and comfort. The FP41 has received remarkable media coverage (with more than a dozen articles worldwide) and is already standing out as one of the most promising models in its category.
The FP41 is also nominated for Multihull of the Year at the SAIL Best Boats Awards, as well as Boat of the Year with Cruising World Magazine.
A worldwide tour to meet sailing enthusiasts
After its press launch in La Rochelle and its public unveiling during the Open Days, the FP41 is now ready to make its mark on the international stage. This new catamaran is embarking on a worldwide tour across the major international boat shows, where it will be showcased throughout the 2025–2026 season.
