About Bareboat Catamaran Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42
The Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 delivers considerable interior volume within an efficient catamaran hull, offering genuine comfort for self-skippered exploration of the Caribbean. As a bareboat charter based in Guadeloupe, she accommodates up to twelve guests across six cabins, including four doubles and two single forepeak berths, each served by four heads.
The multi-level layout encourages both social gathering and solitude. Dine al fresco from the cockpit, use the expansive roof for sun exposure, or retreat to the saloon for shade and shelter. The dual-hulled design provides superior stability and shallow draft, essential advantages when navigating the intricate anchorages between the Leeward and Windward Islands.

The Charter Experience
Charter the Astrea 42 for complete autonomy across the Eastern Caribbean's most prized waters. From Guadeloupe, you control the itinerary, timing, and route through the Grenadines, stopping at remote cays, UNESCO sites, and protected anchorages inaccessible to larger vessels. Fountain Pajot's emphasis on seaworthiness means confident handling in trade wind conditions. Bareboat terms require current maritime credentials; alternatively, engage a professional skipper who occupies a guest cabin. The shallow draft and twin hulls excel in the region's variable conditions, while onboard kayaks, paddleboards, and fishing tackle extend your connection to the sea.
Suggested Itinerary
Depart Guadeloupe and island-hop south through the Saintes, Dominica, and the Grenadines, anchoring in Bequia, Mustique, and Union Island. The Astrea 42's shallow draft opens access to Tobago Cays Marine Park and the Mayreau anchorages. Return via Grenada's southwest peninsula, with time for spice island exploration ashore. Weather and your crew's preferences shape the exact route.
