A new chapter begins for an iconic catamaran. First revealed in preview at the La Rochelle Open Days in July 2026, the FP51 marks the evolution of one of Fountaine Pajot’s most successful models.
Since its launch in 2022, the Aura 51 has established itself as a benchmark in the 50-foot catamaran market, celebrated for its versatility and its ability to adapt to a wide range of sailing projects. Building on this success, Fountaine Pajot Sailing Catamarans is now bringing this renowned model fully into its new generation with the FP51.
The FP51 retains all the fundamentals that made the Aura 51 so popular, while benefiting from carefully considered developments in design, equipment, and space organization—perfectly aligned with modern cruising expectations and the latest standards of the range.
Designed with owners in mind and guided by a strong family-oriented philosophy, the FP51 offers a wide variety of layouts to suit multiple sailing programmes. From private cruising to charter operations, its versatility stands out. The 6-cabin version, already a favorite among charter professionals, demonstrates the FP51’s ability to meet the demands of intensive use without compromising comfort or functionality.
With the FP51, Fountaine Pajot evolves an icon—confidently, elegantly, and with the future of cruising in mind.
