My Fountaine Pajot Venezia 42 for sale
I am selling my Venezia 42 catamaran, a naval gem signed by Fountaine Pajot, a renowned shipyard founded in 1976 in Aigrefeuille, France. This iconic model, designed for beautiful cruises as well as long-distance voyaging, combines comfort, performance and robustness.
With its 42 feet, i.e. 12.60 metres in length and a beam of 6.95 metres, this catamaran offers generous space. Its 1.20 metre draft allows stable navigation in shallow water, a real asset for exploring lagoons such as those in New Caledonia. A custom version with an extended mast and high-end Harken hardware equips this boat, combining strength and elegance.
A self-sufficient and optimised catamaran for long-distance voyages
I’ll get straight to the point: this Fountaine Pajot Venezia 42 is ready to sail immediately, flying the New Caledonian flag in the Nouméa marina. With its high-performance desalinator (60 litres/hour), its 7 Optima service batteries (525 Ah) and its 2 × 880 W solar panels, I no longer have to worry about fresh water or electricity needs, even on the longest crossings. Its recently serviced generator, coupled with a Victron 1600VA charger/inverter, provides total energy autonomy.
For onboard meals, I chose a custom stainless steel galley, equipped with an Eno 4-burner gas stove + oven and a large 12V fridge-freezer. Comfort in the heads is ensured by a regularly maintained desalinator (membrane changed in 2021), Plastimo manual toilets and a pressurised hot/cold water system. For relaxation, there is a gas stainless steel Eno barbecue and a 2022 LED TV.
A luxurious and functional interior layout
The interior of this Venezia 42 is designed to combine comfort and practicality. It offers:
The custom stainless steel galley, combining aesthetics and functionality, is a real asset. LED lighting and 12V/220V sockets distributed throughout the boat complete the picture of a neat and modern interior.
Reliable engine power and new rigging
For propulsion, I chose reliability with two Yanmar 2×28 hp engines, completely refurbished in 2010 and showing only 1600 hours. The SD20 sail drives, replaced in 2014, guarantee optimal transmission. With 370 litres of fuel, this catamaran can cover long distances with complete peace of mind.
The standing rigging completely renewed in 2020 and:
The electric winches complete this package, making manoeuvring easier, even single-handed.
Complete and modern on-board electronics
For precise and safe navigation, this Fountaine Pajot Venezia 42 is equipped with high-end electronics:
Exterior equipment: optimised comfort and safety
The cockpit is a living space designed for comfort:
Anchoring and safety side:
I have also equipped this boat with Starlink to stay connected at sea and a Glomex TV antenna for onboard relaxation moments.
For shore trips, a HIGHFIELD 3.10 m tender powered by a 2021 Tohatsu 9.8 hp outboard is available.
Why is the Fountaine Pajot Venezia 42 an interesting model?
This Venezia 42 stands out thanks to several major strengths:
In short, this Fountaine Pajot Venezia 42 is a high-end used catamaran, ready to embark on new adventures. Whether for a Bali cruise, an expedition in Melanesia or living aboard in a marina, it ticks all the boxes!
