Aboard the FP51, comfort and privacy offer a different way of experiencing the sea. What if it all started here?
Six cabins for sharing without sacrificing privacy
At 15.54 metres in length, the FP51 is based on an architecture renowned for the quality of its spaces and the variety of its layouts. The hulls offer a level of modularity that is rare in this category, allowing for up to two owner’s cabins, each with their own direct access aft, depending on the configuration. The cockpit-saloon deck plan has been designed as a truly continuous living space which can be largely opened up. This layout encourages natural movement between the interior and exterior areas, making it ideal for family cruising and entertaining.

Production, storage and consumption monitoring are grouped together as part of a dedicated interface that allows ease of use on a daily basis. The FP51 is also available with ODSea+ propulsion, in line with Fountaine Pajot’s vision of more sustainable and responsible cruising.
The FP51 can feature up to six double cabins, confirming the versatility of this 51-foot catamaran. The living spaces, both interior and exterior, have been designed for regular use while maintaining comfort and quality. Balanced volumes, meticulous finishes and sustainable design place the FP51 firmly in the new generation of Fountaine Pajot Sailing Catamarans.

Innovative, high-tech composite materials constitute most of the structure of our sailing catamarans: hulls, flybridge, decks, bulkheads and more. Fountaine Pajot has perfected a resin injection and infusion technique, an advanced technology that gives our boats all their robustness. Thanks to this expertise, we can make our catamarans considerably lighter while maintaining consistent quality. Injection also makes it possible to meet the most stringent environmental requirements, in line with the commitments of the Fountaine Pajot Group.
Sailing catamarans from 40 to 50 feet are built at the Aigrefeuille headquarters, a few kilometres from La Rochelle. Catamaran yachts from 51 to 80 feet are built in La Rochelle, France, where they benefit from a slipway.

The ergonomics of Fountaine Pajot catamarans have been designed to facilitate manoeuvring at the helm, enabling a small crew (2 persons) to manoeuvre the boat easily, both in port and at sea. The unique design of the helm station allows good communication between the aft cockpit and the Fly relaxation areas. Of course, your level of navigation will determine your ability to sail with two or more persons!
Our electric catamarans now feature a large surface area of solar panels, up to 2000 WC, perfectly integrated into the design of the coachroof. Combined with equipment such as wind turbines or hydro-generators, they compensate for the energy consumption generated by on-board use during cruising.
