Bareboat Catamaran Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42

The Astrea 42 is a contemporary sailing catamaran delivered in 2021, engineered by Fountaine Pajot in collaboration with Berret-Raccoupeau Yacht Designers. Her design balances performance with comfort, featuring an intuitive helm station with self-tailing winches and simplified rigging that allows confident handling by smaller crews. Twin helm seats and an integrated sun lounger command views across the saloon, whilst the expansive foredeck offers generous sun pads and bow trampolines for leisurely afternoons.

Accommodation comprises four double cabins and two convertible forepeaks, comfortably sleeping eight guests with a maximum of ten. Four heads serve the spaces, each with electric toilets and cabin fans. Air conditioning, solar panels, and an autopilot cater to modern cruising expectations, whilst integrated speakers, VHF, and a swimming ladder complete the practical essentials.

Charter from Preveza into the southern Ionian Islands, where sheltered anchorages and island harbours punctuate days of sailing. Greece's established nautical culture means reliable afternoon winds, excellent mooring facilities, and waterfront tavernas serving fresh local fare. Morning swims precede afternoon sailing; evening stops allow exploration of quiet coves and traditional villages. The region's clear waters, moderate distances between islands, and abundance of protected anchorages make it ideal for both experienced sailors seeking independence and those new to bareboat charter.
