About Fountaine Pajot
Volume production
French builder of luxury sailing and power catamarans, founded in 1976 near La Rochelle and now part of a group that also owns Dufour Yachts.
Fountaine Pajot marks fifty years in 2026, and the way it has chosen to mark them says something about the yard: rather than write the anniversary itself, it asked owners for their photographs, their videos and their memories aboard, to be gathered into a book on the brand's fifty-year history and sent to all of them. The year is given over to open days at La Rochelle, where the yard is, and to owners' evenings at the boat shows.
