Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 (2024) 356 engine hours | Maximum owner-oriented specification This catamaran stands significantly apart from most Astrea 42 models currently available on the market. Unlike standard charter configurations, she has been thoughtfully upgraded as a true owner’s yacht, with a strong focus on autonomy, technology, comfort, and long-range cruising. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a 2024 Astrea 42, already upgraded to a level that would be significantly more expensive to replicate today — without the long wait for a new build and without the substantial cost of post-purchase upgrades. Maximum Energy Independence. One of the key highlights is the professional-grade electrical system, designed to provide exceptional onboard autonomy and comfort without constant marina dependence: 2 × Victron Quattro 3000VA inverters (6000W total) operating in parallel High-capacity LiFePO4 battery bank — 32 kWh / 2400A 1660W SUNPOWER MAX3 solar array Automatic 4000W diesel generator Full system monitoring via Victron Cerbo GX MK2 and VRM This setup provides true independence for long-distance cruising and life onboard, allowing full use of household appliances, refrigeration, induction cooking, Starlink, air conditioning, and onboard comfort systems.
