Broker Overview
This 2024 Fountaine Pajot MY5, located in Boqueron, Puerto Rico, presents a compelling opportunity for a buyer seeking a modern, efficient, and well-appointed motor catamaran. At 40 feet, the MY5 offers a significant amount of usable space, both interior and exterior, typically found on larger monohulls, thanks to its catamaran platform. The twin Volvo IPS 600 HP engines are a key highlight, providing excellent maneuverability, fuel efficiency, and a comfortable cruising speed, making it suitable for island hopping or coastal exploration. The 'Platinum Version' upgrade, combined with a host of factory options, ensures a high level of comfort and convenience. Notable features include the hardtop bimini, hydraulic aft platform, a 12kW Northern Lights generator, tropical-grade air conditioning, and a comprehensive Garmin electronics package. While it lacks stabilizers or thrusters, the IPS system offers superior docking control. This specific MY5, being a 2024 model, is essentially new, offering a buyer the chance to acquire a turn-key vessel without the typical wait times for new construction.

Considerations
No dedicated bow or stern thrusters, though IPS joystick control is highly effective.
Catamaran motion can be different from a monohull in a head sea, which some find takes adjustment.
The 220V/60Hz setup may require specific shore power adapters depending on cruising grounds.
These are broker observations, not deal-breakers. Every yacht has trade-offs — a good broker helps you weigh them.

Expert Review
The Fountaine Pajot MY5 is a well-regarded motor catamaran, known for its practical design and robust build quality. Fountaine Pajot has a long-standing reputation in catamaran construction, and the MY5 benefits from this experience, offering a solid fiberglass hull. The twin Volvo IPS system is a proven package, providing excellent fuel economy at cruising speeds and precise joystick control for docking, which mitigates the absence of bow/stern thrusters. Sea-keeping is generally stable due to the catamaran hull form, though it will have a different motion than a monohull in certain sea states. For a buyer, a survey should focus on the functionality of the extensive optional equipment, particularly the generator, hydraulic platform, and the tropical A/C system. Given its 2024 model year, attention should be paid to any warranty transfers and ensuring all systems are commissioned correctly. Comparables might include Leopard Powercats or Aquila models, but the MY5 holds its own with its distinctive styling and interior layout.
