The FPY59S brings an 18-metre platform to Lavrio
The FPY59S is positioned as a substantial sailing catamaran for owners who want long-range cruising capability without crossing into superyacht dimensions. At around 18 metres, it offers significantly more interior and deck space than smaller production cats while remaining manageable within the private-yacht market.
Fountaine Pajot describes the model around generous volumes, openness to the sea and seamless transitions between living spaces. Those priorities are especially relevant to buyers who use a catamaran as a seasonal home rather than simply as a fast passage-making platform.
A wide multihull footprint creates residential-style living
The catamaran layout allows Fountaine Pajot to distribute accommodation and social areas across a broad beam, creating separate zones for dining, relaxation and private cabins. Large openings and direct links to the aft deck are intended to keep the interior connected to the water rather than feeling enclosed.
That space is one of the main reasons buyers move into larger cruising catamarans. Compared with a monohull of similar length, the twin-hull platform can provide substantially greater usable floor area and separation between guest spaces without requiring the overall length of a much larger yacht.
The Olympic Yacht Show gives Mediterranean buyers direct access
The 2026 Olympic Yacht Show will take place at Olympic Marine in Lavrio from October 15 to 18. Fountaine Pajot is using the event to offer private visits aboard the FPY59S and to meet owners considering a move into larger sailing catamarans.
Greece is an important cruising market for multihulls because of its island geography, warm-weather season and extensive charter infrastructure. Showing the yacht in Lavrio gives buyers a chance to evaluate the layout in a region where many boats of this type will actually operate.
The FPY59S expands Fountaine Pajot’s upper-range offer
Fountaine Pajot has been steadily broadening the top end of its sailing-catamaran portfolio, giving owners more choice between mainstream cruising models and larger yacht-oriented platforms. The FPY59S sits in that transition zone, combining production-builder support with a more substantial luxury specification.
For LYG readers, the model is notable because it delivers much of the space associated with considerably larger yachts while staying below 24 metres. The Olympic Yacht Show appearance should therefore appeal to owners comparing high-end multihulls for private Mediterranean cruising.
