Our Thoughts

The 2021 Fountaine Pajot MY4.S represents a thoughtfully designed power catamaran that combines the spaciousness and stability of a twin-hull platform with the comfort and performance expectations of serious cruising owners. At 36 feet in length with a 16.58-foot beam and shallow 2.5-foot draft, this vessel is purpose-built for both extended voyages and coastal exploration, including Great Loop compatibility thanks to its modest bridge clearance.

This Owner's Version (Maestro Platinum configuration) prioritizes privacy and comfort over charter flexibility. The full-beam owner's suite spans the port hull with an island queen bed, panoramic windows, dedicated ensuite bathroom with separate shower, and generous storage—a genuine retreat for extended time at sea. Two additional guest cabins forward and aft, each with double berths and individual head access, accommodate family or cruising partners. The thoughtful layout includes a dedicated laundry area and extensive wardrobe storage throughout, essential for long-term cruising.

The saloon anchors the social spaces with 360-degree panoramic visibility enhanced by a large electric opening sunroof and skylight with motorized blinds. A convertible dinette transitions easily between dining and lounging configurations, while the helm station sits at the center of operations with dual bench seating and comprehensive instrument integration. The full-beam galley features dual induction cooktops (operable on both generator and shore power), a Bosch convection microwave, under-counter refrigerator and separate freezer, and ample countertop and storage space for serious provisioning.

Power comes from twin Yanmar 4LV 250-horsepower diesel engines driving independent 600-liter fuel tanks, delivering approximately 22 knots and exceptional fuel economy characteristic of the catamaran hull form. The 8-kilowatt Fischer Panda generator supports 220V/50Hz and 110V/60Hz systems simultaneously, while a 2000-watt inverter/charger provides flexibility at anchor or on shore power. A 100-liter-per-hour Osmosea watermaker and 350-liter freshwater tank support extended passages, complemented by 28,000 BTU air conditioning for tropical climates.

Electronics center on a Garmin advanced navigation package including autopilot, VHF with AIS, backup camera, and Garmin 8412 chartplotter. The saloon features a Bose audio/video system with DVB-T tuner, while a Fusion Bluetooth audio pack handles outdoor entertainment. A 3.5-inch touchscreen at the helm monitors all onboard systems—batteries, tanks, electrical functions—and interfaces seamlessly with the Garmin display.

Deck amenities reflect owner-focused cruising: a large foredeck sunbathing area with cushions and sun awning, generous aft cockpit with Kenyon electric BBQ grill and full enclosure, teak flooring on transoms and cockpit, and a hydraulic tender platform (250-kilogram capacity) for easy dinghy stowage. An included Highfield dinghy and outboard, along with an MPB life raft, support water activities and safety protocols. The swim platform provides effortless water access, while comprehensive deck hardware—stainless steel pulpit, seven mooring cleats, windlass with chain counter, and swim ladder—reflects bluewater readiness.

Interior finishes emphasize durability and refinement: Alpi wood cabinetry, laminated flooring, rot-proof glass felt lining, and polyether foam mattresses throughout

# 2021 Fountaine Pajot MY4.S Power Catamaran : Luxury Cruising with Owner's Suite Comfort and Bluewater Capability
Overview
The 2021 Fountaine Pajot MY4.S is a 36-foot power catamaran engineered for extended cruising, combining the stability and spaciousness of a twin-hull design with the refined comfort systems expected in a luxury motor yacht . This Owner's Version configuration emphasizes privacy and autonomy, featuring a full-beam owner's suite, three cabin accommodations, and the mechanical redundancy that makes catamaran cruising appealing to serious voyagers. Powered by twin Yanmar 4LV 250 HP diesel engines and equipped with a comprehensive Garmin navigation suite, watermaker, air conditioning, and an 8 kW generator, the MY4.S delivers both the seaworthiness for coastal and bluewater passages and the onboard infrastructure for extended family or couples' adventures. As a first-owner vessel with no charter history and US duty paid, this catamaran represents the Owner's Version of Fountaine Pajot's motor yacht line, a brand with nearly 50 years of multihull design and construction expertise.
The Catamaran Advantage: Hull Design and Seakeeping
The MY4.S's twin-hull design addresses a fundamental challenge in motor yacht cruising: combining spacious interior volume with fuel efficiency, stability, and a shallow draft suitable for coastal exploration. At 36.08 feet in length with a 16.58-foot beam, the catamaran footprint delivers nearly a third more usable interior space than comparably sized monohull motor yachts, according to Fountaine Pajot's design philosophy. The 2.5-foot draft—shallow enough for Bahamas exploration and Great Loop cruising—is a direct benefit of the catamaran's stepped hull geometry, which reduces wetted surface and drag while maintaining the buoyancy needed to carry the weight of a fully equipped cruising vessel. The twin-hull configuration also provides inherent stability that reduces rolling motion in beam seas and allows for a more comfortable cruising experience without requiring active stabilization systems. This stability extends to the psychological comfort of cruising: owners report that the catamaran motion encourages longer passages and more confident seamanship in variable conditions. The hull design also creates natural separation between engine spaces and living quarters, with sound insulation and mechanical air extraction in each engine room contributing to a quiet, refined cruising environment.
Owner's Suite and Three-Cabin Layout
The Maestro Platinum version of this MY4.S prioritizes the owner's experience through a full-beam owner's cabin spanning the port hull. The suite includes a 1.60 by 2.00-meter island queen bed with premium mattress, generous wardrobe and storage throughout the passageway, and a dedicated ensuite bathroom with separate shower stall, hot and cold water, and freshwater electric marine toilet. Large picture windows and hull portholes flood the cabin with natural light and provide ventilation; blackout blinds and reading lights support restful sleep patterns essential during extended passages. The starboard hull accommodates two additional guest cabins. The aft cabin mirrors the owner's suite dimensions (1.60 by 2.00 meters) with similar window treatments, storage under the berth, and hanging lockers for extended cruising wardrobe needs. The forward cabin features a slightly narrower double berth (1.40 by 1.00 meters, 2.00 meters in length) with storage and porthole ventilation. This three-cabin layout comfortably sleeps six adults, making the MY4.S suitable for family cruising or couples seeking guest accommodation for extended voyages. A shared bathroom between the aft and forward cabins provides a second head facility, reducing morning congestion during family cruising. Both heads feature freshwater electric marine toilets, hot and cold water, and shower stalls with acrylic screens. The design reflects Fountaine Pajot's understanding that cruising comfort depends not only on cabin size but on the infrastructure supporting daily life aboard—adequate freshwater supply, hot water availability, and redundant sanitation facilities.
Galley and Salon: The Heart of Onboard Living
The galley runs the full length of the saloon, maximizing workflow and enabling the cook to maintain visual and verbal communication with the cockpit and helm station. The galley includes double stainless steel sinks with hot and cold pressurized water, a two-induction-burner cooktop operable on either generator or shore power, a built-in under-counter refrigerator and freezer (97 liters and 16 liters respectively), a Bosch convection microwave oven, and extensive cupboard and drawer storage. An additional 90-liter 12V cold storage unit at approximately 5°C provides supplemental refrigeration for extended passages away from shore power. The saloon itself is the defining space of the MY4.S. A large electric opening sunroof with motorized blinds floods the interior with natural light and can be opened for ventilation in moderate weather. Panoramic windows provide 360-degree visibility, allowing occupants to maintain visual connection to the surrounding seascape while seated. A convertible dinette and wooden coffee table create flexible configuration options: the dinette converts to additional berth space if needed, while the coffee table can be reconfigured for dining. Bench seating for seven people accommodates larger gatherings or family dinners. New saloon upholstery installed in winter 2023 refreshes the interior aesthetic and indicates recent attention to comfort systems. The saloon connects to the cockpit via a glass sliding door with curtain, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that extends the functional living space. This design principle—opening the interior to the exterior environment—is central to Fountaine Pajot's approach to motor yacht design and reflects the brand's Mediterranean cruising heritage.
Cockpit and Deck: Outdoor Living Infrastructure
The MY4.S's cockpit is engineered for both entertaining and extended cruising. A large L-shaped bench with backrest and storage compartments seats five people comfortably; the bench converts into a sun bed for daytime lounging. A Kenyon electric BBQ grill enables outdoor meal preparation without relying on the galley, extending entertaining capacity during anchorages or marina stays. Watertight LED spotlights provide functional and ambient lighting, while a large under-floor storage compartment accommodates fenders, dock lines, and cruising gear. The foredeck includes a lounge area with cushions and sun awnings, creating a private sunbathing space forward of the helm station. This area provides natural separation from the cockpit and saloon, offering solitude during extended cruising or a dedicated space for guests. A full cockpit enclosure with sliding glass doors and bimini top protects occupants from weather while maintaining visibility and ventilation. The aft platform, hydraulically operated and rated for 250 kilograms, supports a tender or dinghy and features natural teak decking that extends to the transoms. This platform design—combining functional tender storage with aesthetic teak finishing—reflects the attention to detail characteristic of Fountaine Pajot's Owner's Version yachts. A swim ladder on the starboard transom and cold water deck shower facilitate water access and post-swim rinsing. Natural teak flooring on the transoms and cockpit provides both aesthetic warmth and practical slip resistance when wet. Teak requires maintenance but is valued by cruising owners for its durability, appearance, and non-skid properties. The choice of natural teak signals the Owner's Version's focus on traditional yacht finishing standards.
Power and Propulsion: Twin Yanmar Diesel Engines
The MY4.S is powered by twin Yanmar 4LV 250 HP diesel engines, each equipped with a four-blade propeller and seawater cooling via heat exchanger. The engines are mounted in separate engine rooms accessed via polyester deck hatches on the cockpit cylinders. Each engine room features high-performance sound insulation and mechanical air extraction, contributing to the quiet operation expected in a luxury cruising yacht. The dual-engine configuration provides both performance and redundancy. At full throttle, the twin 250 HP engines deliver approximately 22 knots of maximum speed, sufficient for transiting to favorable cruising grounds or making passages within a single day. More importantly, the redundancy of dual engines means that loss of one engine does not leave the vessel immobilized; the MY4.S can continue to a nearby port or anchorage on a single engine, a critical safety consideration for extended offshore passages. Each engine features independent fuel circuits drawing from dedicated 600-liter diesel tanks (approximately 1,200 liters total capacity), with electric fuel gauges, pre-filter fuel-water separators, anti-bacteria filters, and closing valves. This independent fuel system architecture allows the operator to manage fuel consumption, balance tank levels, and maintain engine redundancy throughout
