“The high-end market is witnessing growing demand, driven by owners and future customers with increasingly demanding expectations. Our ambition is to respond to this with iconic yachts, featuring signature design, advanced customisation and a sustainable vision of sailing," said Fountaine Pajot deputy CEO, Romain Motteau.
French Fountaine Pajot shipayard, which has been manufacturing sailing and motor catamarans under 24 m for over 20 years, has decided to expand into the superyacht segment with its new brand, Fountaine Pajot Yachts, for models over 35 m. New production facilities for making larger boats are currently being built in La Rochelle, and the plan is to deliver two yachts a year.
The first Fountaine Pajot Yachts hull and the new flagship for the entire group will be the sailing catamaran named FPY 110S. The project was designed in collaboration with Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design.
With a length of 35 m, a beam of 14.8 m and a draft of 2.81 m, the vessel features three decks and a liveable space of over 600 sq.m. The renderings demonstrate five guest cabins, including split-level owner’s suite, a panoramic saloon, fold-down terraces aft and a large flybridge with a hard top fitted with solar panels. The manufacturer underlines the fact that the model will offer unprecedented level of customisation in the history of the Fountaine Pajot Group, "an approach where space adapts to desires".
Constructuon on the FPY 110S is already in progress, and the delivery of the first vessel if scheduled for early 2028. In the future, the model will also be available in a motor version as FPY 110.
In addition, a little earlier Fountaine Pajot had unveiled another new brand, the VEYA Yachts, created in collaboration with Couach Catamarans. It will be dedicated to premium motor cruising catamarans with a simple design and easy handling.
The debut model will be the VEYA 53 (also known as the Code 07) with a length of 16.10 m and a beam of 7.96 m. Construction of the first hull is scheduled to complete in 2026.
The shipyard believes that the new brands and transition to the new generation of models will allow it to offer the clients more elegant, innovative and sustainable experience.
“This is a natural evolution that confirms our desire to structure our offering, strengthen our presence and prepare for the future”, said Romain Motteau.
