Fountaine Pajot: half a century of innovation for catamarans
Created in 1976 by expert sailors, Fountaine Pajot has been building hundreds of catamarans with the same passion of sailing. With experience, Fountaine Pajot catamarans have acquired many qualities which make them many sailors’ favourite catamarans.
Fountaine Pajot commits to quality management through an elaborated system, which has been continuously certified to ISO 9001 standard since 1991, for the design and construction of sailing and power catamarans.
Technical expertise for quality, performance and safety
Fountaine Pajot catamarans are synonymous with stability, responsiveness, safety and comfort at sea.
The shipyard continuously runs an active Research and Development policy and gradually updates all catamaran models with the latest sailing industry technologies, to optimize owners’ satisfaction.
With innovation in mind, Fountaine Pajot is also a world leader in terms of boat composites, with the use of resin injection and infusion techniques. Thanks to this technology, catamarans are now lighter, strong, safe and much more environment friendly.
Fountaine Pajot also works hand in hand with the best players in the sailing and nautical industries in order to benefit from all development and innovation to reach constant improvement, and to give best after-sales service through partners worldwide networks. For example for motorisation, the Volva Penta network gathers dealers in 130 countries.

Fountaine Pajot history
Founded by expert sailors
The shipyard was created in 1976, and first produced centerboarders (the 505, 470 and 420) which were made of composite sandwich.
Fountaine Pajot prototypes won a few races, and soon created multihulls which also were successful competitors at sea: the Royale trimaran and the Charente Maritime catamaran.
After the great triumph of that catamaran in transatlantic competitions, Fountaine Pajot grew from 4 to over 400 men dedicated to the production of catamarans.
Fountaine Pajot executives are passionate with sailing, which makes a world of difference with choices made for the design and construction of new yachts.
Jean-François Fountaine, Yves Pajot, Pierre Fountaine and Claire Fountaine have won selections and gold medals at Olympic games as well as world championships.
Romain Motteau, current deputy CEO, won the Hobie Cat 16 as World champion, crewed with renowned Franck Cammas and Pierre Pennec on Extrem 40, and also won the Archipelago Open Race.
