About Bareboat Catamaran Lucia 40 Grande Croisiere
The Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 Grande Croisiere is a four-cabin catamaran purpose-built for independent exploration of Tahiti and its neighbouring islands. Her dual-hull design delivers stability and shallow-draft access to anchorages that monohulls cannot reach, whilst her generous beam creates the kind of interior space usually reserved for larger vessels. Four double cabins accommodate up to eight guests, making her equally suited to family crews and small-group charters seeking privacy and comfort.
On deck, the layout prioritises both sailing practicality and relaxation. An expansive foredeck and trampolines invite hours of undisturbed sunbathing, whilst the flybridge provides sheltered seating beneath a rigid bimini. Direct deck access to the water means snorkelling, paddleboarding, and swimming adventures are moments away. Below, large windows flood the saloon and cabins with natural light, creating a sense of openness that belies her compact footprint. Climate control, a fresh water maker, and a Nespresso machine ensure onboard life blends effortless comfort with practical self-sufficiency.

The Charter Experience
Tahiti's Southern Pacific waters are defined by calm lagoons, consistent trade winds, and short passages between legendary islands. Days unfold at your own pace, anchoring in secluded bays where coral reefs drop away from translucent shallows ideal for snorkelling. Bora Bora, Raiatea, and Taha'a form a natural triangle of exploration, each offering white-sand beaches, Polynesian culture, and the kind of solitude that justifies the long voyage south. Whether you hold a skipper's license and sail independently or engage a professional to handle navigation, the freedom to set your own schedule transforms each anchorage into a private sanctuary.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day itinerary departs Bora Bora, navigating the short passages to Raiatea and Taha'a, where protected anchorages and vibrant coral gardens dominate each stop. Return legs explore secondary islands and hidden bays, with flexibility to extend stays where conditions and mood align. Snorkelling opportunities at each anchorage, combined with modest daily sailing distances, suit both experienced sailors seeking independence and confident crews new to bareboat exploration.
