About the Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40
What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
Solid family choice. The Papaya is a 2018 catamaran that sleeps up to 10 across 4 cabins, making it ideal for multi-family groups or friends wanting shared costs on a larger vessel. The dual-hull design offers excellent stability and spacious saloon living, perfect if you want comfort beyond just sleeping.
Smart onboard setup. Solar panels and an inverter mean efficient power management for longer trips away from shore, while dual chart plotters (one in the cockpit) keep navigation straightforward. The autopilot, bimini, and lazy bag cover the practical essentials for relaxed cruising without constant fiddling.
Strong operator reputation. Sailme CM Charter has a perfect 5/5 rating across six reviews, which is genuinely reassuring, that consistency suggests reliable boats and good customer service, both things that matter when you're flying in from abroad and need peace of mind.
One minor note: At 11.7 metres, this is a manageable catamaran but does require confident sailing or a hired skipper if you're not experienced; the size means moorings and harbour fees may be steeper than smaller yachts, so factor that into your budget beyond the €3,500 deposit.
