Fountaine Pajot FP55 (2026) – 5 Cabin + 2 Crew | La Rochelle, France - FP 55 - Hull # 2 - Available to see at Annapolis Boat Show, 2026

The 2026 Fountaine Pajot FP55 represents the next evolution in luxury sailing catamarans—blending long-range capability, refined living spaces, and a layout designed for both private ownership and premium charter performance.

Positioned between the Aura 51 and the flagship Samana 59, the FP55 delivers the volume and presence of a much larger yacht while maintaining the efficiency and sailing characteristics Fountaine Pajot is known for. Her expansive beam and full flybridge create multiple elevated living areas, offering panoramic views, generous seating, and a true “villa on the water” experience.

This particular vessel is configured in a 5-cabin, 5-head layout, complemented by two fully fitted crew cabins in the forepeaks, making it ideally suited for professionally crewed charters or owner use with dedicated staff. Each guest cabin features private ensuite facilities, ensuring comfort, privacy, and a high-end onboard experience for up to 10 guests.

The interior is bright, modern, and open, with large panoramic windows and a seamless transition between the salon and cockpit. The galley is designed for both functionality and social interaction, while the cockpit and aft dining area create an effortless space for entertaining.

On deck, the FP55 offers exceptional versatility. The flybridge is fully equipped with helm station, lounge seating, and optional outdoor galley features, while the forward lounge and cockpit provide additional relaxation zones at anchor. A hydraulic platform enhances water access and tender handling, supporting a full suite of water toys.

Powered by twin Yanmar 80HP engines, along with advanced onboard systems including generator, solar integration, and watermaker, this FP55 is built for extended cruising with high levels of autonomy and comfort.
