Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 catamaran – Mykonos

Yacht Overview

We have guided many guests around the Aegean, and we can say with confidence that the Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 catamaran is a very sensible choice for a skippered or self-skippered sailing holiday. This 2023-built sailing catamaran is designed for charter and rental in comfort-first style, and its layout suits groups who want space without losing the ease of handling a modern multihull.

Based in Mykonos, Greece, it works especially well for day trips and short island hops. Our guests often like that there are 5 cabins for proper privacy, with 8 berths in the cabins plus 3 additional berths for extra flexibility. In practice, that means families and small friend groups can travel together and still feel comfortable at anchor—quiet nights, steady routines, and no “everyone shares the same space” feeling.

From our experience, the onboard galley details matter more than people expect. Here, we noticed the toaster and coffee machine setup, including NESPRESSO options, which keeps mornings smooth after a swim. The saloon table is convertible, so the space can shift from dining to lounging in seconds!

On the deck and under sail, electric winches reduce workload during sail changes, while the full batten mainsail and roll genoa help keep trim efficient. Add a watermaker for fresh water independence, plus an inverter and a generator for stable onboard power, and you get a practical cruising platform. Electric fans in the cabins are a welcome touch in summer heat.

For the purpose of charter/rental around Mykonos, this catamaran’s overall type, built year, and cabin plan are exactly what we recommend when comfort and easy living are the priority.
