About this boat

The Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 is one of the most popular and well-balanced cruising catamarans in its size class. It is primarily characterized by its enormous amount of space, its thoughtful layout for socializing on deck, and its well-balanced sailing performance - last but not least a modern and design oriented The Astréa 42 brings together generous space, a modern interior and enjoyable sailing. Its spacious teak cockpit is ideal for spending time together, with easy access to the helm so the skipper stays connected to the group. A full-size mainsail and furling genoa complete the sailing setup, while the 1,000-litre water tank gives you more flexibility between stops. NO PETS ALLOWED

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

Yes — every boat on charter.boats is insured by its operator; we require it. The policy covers the vessel for fire, collision and third-party liability. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit. You can lower the deposit by adding the operator’s damage waiver.

How much will fuel cost?

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~100 HP engines burn roughly 8 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 168 L ≈ €314 at €1.87/L — scale it to your own plans.

Do I need a sailing licence in Croatia?

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: At least one crew member must hold a recognised sailing licence (ICC or national equivalent) plus a VHF/SRC radio operator certificate, both checked on arrival.

When is the best time to sail in Croatia?

May–October, with the most reliable maestral winds and warm seas in June–September; July–August are the hottest and busiest.
