Commissioning and Customization
With over 2,200 successful projects, we have more hands-on experience than anyone in North America.
There's a reason serious cruisers call ACY Yachts for their project.
There is simply no team in North America that has commissioned more Fountaine Pajot yachts than our team. We have the benefit of feedback from literally hundreds of clients, what equipment is needed and what installations work best for given cruising environments.
We’re fully committed to you having your boat ideally set up for the way you plan to use it. Whether you’re going to use it privately, or place it with Waypoints Yacht Charters and leverage the Business Yacht Ownership® approach, we’re there for you every step of the way.
Let our experience with commissioning over 2,200 boats since 1972 work for you!

More Custom Options
Here are some other custom options that we’ve done in the past
- Couch – Backrest flips up to become a bunk.
- Spit double bed to create two singles. Sometimes possible in selected cabins. With or without lee clothes.
- Add a comfortable desk, nav table swivel chair (In this case, we removed a cabinet behind to make room for the swivel function.
- Office with desk. Added power options and communication functions. This can be done in some cases in extra bunk cabins in monohulls, or forward bow cabins in catamarans.
- High/low and many variations of electric, pneumatic, or manual convertible tables.
- Washer/dryer or Genset in aft part. Drawers and bins for food storage, tools, and parts, etc. In the forward locker door, installed a hanging rod of course for up to 6′ of clothes hanging space. High/low and many variations of electric, pneumatic, or manual convertible tables.
- Varnished wood tables and seats. Many choices. A popular choice has been to seal with epoxy and then use a water-soluble varnish in satin or gloss finish. This provides for easy maintenance and the elimination of sanding through to the bare wood when you later add coats to refresh.
- Appliances: Washer-dryer – Splendide (with external venting–very important), or stacked available depending on space. Ice makers, dishwashers, trash compactors built-in coffee makers and food processors, etc.–all available.
