NEW 2017 FOUNTAINE PAJOT MY 44
In the tradition of the popular MY 37, Fountaine Pajot is launching a new motor catamaran, the MY 44, which will be presented for its world premiere at Düsseldorf in January. Aboard the MY 44, we find all the features of a motor yacht, with the advantages of a catamaran as a ‘plus’. We particularly appreciated the owner’s hull and the guest cabins, as well as the huge flybridge. Offered with 2 x 260 hp as standard, the MY 44 can be equipped with 2 x 300 hp or 2 x 435 hp as an option.

In addition to the Euphorie currently under construction, the builder is offering a modern vision of the motor cat, with the Furio. The idea is to be able to cruise fast if the fancy takes you (27 knots announced by the builder), but also be able to cross the oceans to go and cruise among the islands.
