Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40

Boat Model Overview

We’ve advised many captains and first-time charterers, and the Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 is exactly the kind of catamaran that rewards good planning. Actually, we can say with confidence that this model was designed around comfort at sea: twin hulls, stable motion, and a layout that works for both couples and mixed groups. Based on our knowledge of owner and manufacturer documentation, Lucia 40 is built as a true charter platform, not just a weekend cruiser.

From the manufacturer’s specifications we’ve seen, the Lucia 40 is offered in multiple interior configurations. We’ve noticed that charter operators typically list versions by cabin count and berth capacity, because it directly affects guest flow on board. In some layouts you’ll find 3-cabin arrangements with 6 berths in cabins, commonly paired with two heads (WC). Other versions keep the same cabin count but add extra berths, and the number of heads may increase as well. For larger groups, the 4-cabin configuration is where the capacity step becomes obvious: 8 berths in cabins, with varying WC counts depending on the selected version. We’ve also observed 6-cabin variants in the charter market, usually keeping 8 berths in cabins plus additional berths, again with a higher number of WCs.

For technical operations, the key takeaway is balance and livability. With the Lucia 40, guests benefit from a wide working deck area and predictable handling under sail, which makes crew tasks easier during harbor maneuvers. And yes, we state with certainty that the weekly charter budget is very configuration-dependent. On the market, charter weekly prices we’ve tracked range from about €2,726 to €5,506, with an average around €3,779.

Finally, we’ve seen this model become popular across many destinations—guests who have trusted us often mention the combination of stability, social space, and flexible sleeping plans. If you tell us your group size and preferred week, we’ll recommend the most suitable cabin/version option immediately!
