Fountaine Pajot Custom Eco Yacht 115

Resulting from the collaboration of an experienced and competent team of specialists and the Wider shipyard in Italy, the PAJOT CUSTOM ECO YACHT 115 CATAMARAN is a combination of new and coordinated concepts. The innovations coupled with proven solutions allow this multihull platform to achieve all the functions and attributes of a Superyacht.

This radically innovative superyacht catamaran project features the assembly of the hull structure and the aluminium nacelle, the composite coach roof and flybridge superstructures and the carbon rig, embellished with these new design features, creating a combination unprecedented on the market.

First-class seakeeping, ease of handling and use with luxurious comfort are harmoniously combined on this sailing E-catamaran. The calibration of the main structural and propulsion elements is predetermined to create perfect uniformity. The fittings and the interior style can be adapted to be exclusive and corresponding to the owner's personality.

Major innovative and progressive features and qualities are brought together in the "Eco Yacht" project philosophy, incorporating engineering with art, to achieve the ultimate pleasure on the water, whether for private use or charter.

No more heavy, complicated, fuel-consuming and noisy yachts. Catamaran hulls feature a low hydrodynamic drag, a simple and efficient sail system, a large source of solar and hydraulic energy associated with hybrid electric propulsion bringing technology to the service of ecology. This is the birth of a real E-yacht. — Marc PAJOT

Economic and environmental-friendly hybrid operation

Low drag of catamaran hulls, simple and efficient sail propulsion, and noiseless hybrid electric propulsion bring zero CO2 emissions for coastal sailing over 30 nautical miles. Service power is supplied by hydrodynamic generators and a large solar panel area, with electric energy storage for night-time autonomy at anchor and long-range diesel-electric propulsion energy.

Versatile sailing performance

High average speeds under sail and sensations even in light airs, safe and stable passage through big seas and strong weather conditions, and stress-free access to shoal draft areas and shallower port areas are coupled with extremely simple and economical storage ashore and chocking.

Simplicity of use and efficiency of control under sails

A simple and reliable carbon rig with focus on safety, based on 40 years of yachting experience, features a boomless square-topped mainsail and headsails on furlers. Automated deck hardware allows fingertip manoeuvres with a short-handed crew. Advanced helm stations equipped with controls provide perfect steering control and watchkeeping, increased pleasure at the helm, and the privacy of the guests, complemented by an interior navigation and monitoring station.

Spacious yet intimate outdoor areas

Reception, relaxation and dining areas forward, aft and on the flybridge comprise more than 200 m² of space. Convivial areas and small, more intimate spaces are provided, with maneuvering areas for the crew clearly separated from those of the guests. Beach club-type sugar scoops never seen before on a catamaran of this size add to the appeal.

Tailor-made "Haute-Couture" interior

Living space of more than 200 m² is adaptable according to the wishes and desires of the owner in the spirit of a "Custom Yacht". Aft VIP cabins feature private terraces or Beach club access. The large master cabin on the main deck offers private exterior access. A spacious and totally independent galley and crew quarters complete the accommodation.

Design and expertise

Marc PAJOT leads this project as a determined leader with experience in high-level yachting since childhood and team management. He has designed and developed boats with which he has excelled in transatlantic fully crewed and single-handed races such as Elf Aquitaine and the America's Cup campaigns French Kiss and Ville de Paris. As part of his brokerage activity, he has also been Project Manager for successful boats such as the Wally 100 and TANGO.

Nicolas FAUROUX, an engineer at the forefront of naval architecture for 40 years, has made his mark in the world of sailing superyachts, notably with VAIMITI, a 40-metre aluminium sloop, and the refit of many classic sailing boats such as MARISKA. Franck DE RIVOYRE and Christophe LAROSE are structural and rigging engineers who have participated in some of the greatest round the world records on multihulls, with FONCIA and GROUPAMA, and have been involved in the multihull yachting industry since its beginnings.

WIDER Shipyard in Ancona has been a pioneer in the innovation of electric motor-yacht propulsion, with know-how in aluminium construction and yacht quality finishes of the interiors.
