Broker Overview

The 2024 Fountaine Pajot MY5, located in Boqueron, Puerto Rico, represents a compelling opportunity for a buyer seeking a modern, efficient, and well-equipped motor catamaran. At 40 feet, this vessel offers significantly more volume and stability than a monohull of comparable length, making it an excellent platform for extended cruising or comfortable liveaboard use. Equipped with twin Volvo IPS 600 engines, she delivers responsive handling and impressive fuel efficiency, a critical factor for today's discerning buyer. The 'Platinum Version' upgrade, coupled with a Northern Lights 12kW generator, ensures a high level of onboard comfort and self-sufficiency. Notable features include a hydraulic swim platform, extensive Garmin electronics package with radar and cameras, a low-consumption watermaker, and a robust 60,000 BTU tropical air conditioning system. The solar panels further enhance her off-grid capabilities. While priced at $1,295,000, this MY5 is essentially a new boat with a comprehensive options list, offering a turn-key solution without the typical waiting period for a new build. This vessel is well-suited for an owner prioritizing space, stability, and modern amenities in a manageable package.

Platinum Version with extensive upgrades, including hydraulic platform and watermaker.

Tropical A/C (60,000 BTU) and solar panels for enhanced comfort and self-sufficiency.

Expert Review

The Fountaine Pajot MY5 is a well-regarded motor catamaran known for its practical design and efficient performance. Build quality is solid fiberglass, typical of the brand, offering a robust platform. Her twin hull design provides excellent stability, making her comfortable at anchor and underway, particularly in a chop where monohulls of this size might struggle. The Volvo IPS drives are a significant advantage, providing precise joystick control for docking and improved fuel economy at cruising speeds. For a survey, pay close attention to the IPS pods for any signs of impact or corrosion, and ensure all complex systems like the watermaker, hydraulic platform, and tropical A/C are fully operational. Compared to monohulls, the MY5 offers superior interior volume and deck space, though some buyers might find her beam a consideration in certain marinas. Overall, this specific MY5, with its extensive options and low hours, represents strong value for a buyer seeking a modern, comfortable, and efficient cruising platform.
