About Bareboat Catamaran Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40
This Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 delivers the dual appeal of French engineering and Caribbean freedom. Built in 2018, the Lucia 40 balances responsive sailing with generous cabin space, accommodating eight guests across four double cabins. The catamaran's shallow draft and twin-hull design make her ideal for exploring the shallow anchorages and turquoise shallows of the Exuma Cays.
Topside, a wide cockpit hosts al fresco dining whilst the salon's panoramic windows flood the interior with natural light. Below deck, four well-appointed cabins and two heads provide comfortable separation for larger parties or families. The Lucia 40 is fully equipped for independent navigation, featuring GPS, autopilot, VHF, electric anchor windlass, and a water maker for extended passages away from marina resupply.

The Charter Experience
Bareboat charter in the Bahamas demands confidence at the helm and respect for local waters. This Lucia 40 is suited to experienced sailors who hold valid certifications. The shallow banks and light winds of the Exumas reward skillful sail trim and intimate knowledge of tidal flows. Your week unfolds at your own pace, from the colonial charm of Nassau eastward through the cays, with freedom to anchor in secluded spots unreachable by larger vessels. Alternatively, engage a professional skipper to occupy one guest cabin, allowing you to enjoy the islands whilst experienced hands manage navigation and boat operations.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day charter begins in Nassau, then heads southeast through the Exuma Cays. Anchor off Thunderball Grotto or the Swimming Pigs at Pig Beach, explore the tidal Compass Cay, and settle into the protected waters around Staniel Cay. The route rewards early starts and flexible scheduling, with each anchorage offering a different character of Bahamian island life.
