Catamarano Fountaine Pajot Lavezzi 40 (2004)

Catamaran "Sampei" - WHERE COMFORT MEETS ADVENTURE! Experience unforgettable sailing in complete comfort with your family, friends, or colleagues, and make your dreams of ultimate sea adventures come true.

SHALLOW DRAFT The catamaran's shallow draft enables access to shallow waters and secluded anchorages that monohulls can’t reach, making it ideal for discovering hidden gems and stunning coastlines. Additionally, overnight stays at anchor rather than in marinas can offer significant cost savings!

PERFORMANCE AND SPEED Sampei can outperform many monohulls, particularly when sailing upwind, due to its lightweight build and double hull, which minimizes drag. Its dual engines positioned at the stern give it remarkable agility, facilitating easy docking and maneuvering, even in difficult conditions, and allowing it to turn on the spot.

SELF-SUFFICIENCY Thanks to the upgrade with high-performance solar panels, Sampei can be completely energy self-sufficient for an entire week.

STABILITY A catamaran provides a more stable and comfortable sailing experience due to its double-hull design, which significantly reduces rocking compared to monohulls. It handles rough seas better, allows for smoother sailing and does not heel, which is especially important for those prone to seasickness.

COMFORT Due to its greater width, the catamaran boasts larger living areas and more privacy. This makes it ideal for families or groups who want more comfort and personal space. The extensive deck areas are perfect for sunbathing, dining, socializing, or simply enjoying the view. The catamaran drifts less at anchor, which ensures a more comfortable and pleasant stay on the vessel when it is anchored. A large hardtop canopy on the deck provides protection from all weather conditions, and most importantly, creates pleasant shade.

SAFETY The stability of the catamaran ensures the safety of movement for the crew and passengers on the entire boat. If one of the two engines fails, the other can still enable continued navigation and return to the coast. With one engine all electrical wiring and battery charging on the vessel also work smoothly.

FOUNTAINE PAJOT, a French manufacturer with a 60-year tradition, is celebrated for catamarans that blend cutting-edge design with an optimal balance of comfort and sailing performance. The Lavezzi 40 is one of their most acclaimed models, known for its lightweight construction (6,500 kg) and exceptional buoyancy, setting the standard in its class. It features a generous sail area (90 m² upwind) and ample bridge deck clearance, ensuring smooth, stable sailing with minimal heeling. This allows passengers to sit comfortably and enjoy the journey without the discomfort of excessive rocking, tilting, or seasickness, even in challenging seas. Both the outdoor and indoor tables comfortably seat six, with room for eight when needed. The wide trampoline provides an unmatched experience, especially during sailing, letting passengers gaze at the sea below. Sampei is uniquely customized, boasting a spacious hard-top over the cockpit that provides insulation and side ventilation, offering a refreshing coolness in summer and an ideal spot for sunbathing or social gatherings. All control lines are routed to the helm, enabling the operator to manage navigation from the best vantage point, aided by modern electronic instruments and a high-performance 900W electric winch for efficient handling of the sails.

IMPORTANT information: To hire this boat without a skipper, it is important to physically have a valid boat license and a radio VHF license.
