Five models span the core private-cruising range
The Barcelona fleet starts with the FP41 at 12.10 metres and steps through the FP44, FP48 and FP55 before reaching the Samana 59. That spread gives buyers several distinct size points without leaving the owner-operated luxury-yacht sector.
For families moving up from smaller catamarans, the line-up should make the trade-offs in berth cost, sail area, interior volume and ease of handling easier to compare. Larger models add more privacy and social space, while the smaller boats retain simpler marina and operating requirements.
FP48 and FP55 continue their post-Cannes international tour
The new FP48 and FP55 are among the main attractions after making their world premieres at Cannes. Barcelona will give Spanish and Mediterranean buyers another chance to inspect the latest generation before the boats continue through the autumn show calendar.
Both models reflect Fountaine Pajot’s current focus on open-plan living, larger exterior lounges and stronger links between saloon and cockpit. The FP55 moves further toward yacht-style volume, while the FP48 targets owners who want a substantial cruising platform without stepping into the upper-50-foot market.
FP41 and FP44 cover the more manageable end of the range
The FP41 and FP44 provide lower entry points into the same family of cruising catamarans. At 12.10 and 13.26 metres respectively, both remain within dimensions that many experienced private owners can operate without professional crew.
That makes them particularly relevant to LYG readers comparing multihulls against similarly sized monohull cruisers. The wider beam produces significantly more living area, but buyers also need to consider marina availability and berth pricing when moving from a conventional sailing yacht to a catamaran.
Barcelona offers a direct Mediterranean buying environment
The Barcelona International Boat Show takes place in Port Vell from October 14 to 18 and attracts buyers from across Spain and the wider Mediterranean. Fountaine Pajot will have its teams and dealer network available throughout the event for onboard visits and ownership discussions.
For buyers considering a cruising catamaran for Mediterranean use, the value of the five-boat display is straightforward: it allows several adjacent sizes to be assessed in the same location. That can help narrow decisions around cabin count, deck space and long-term operating costs before committing to a particular model.
