In the under 40 foot power catamaran industry, there are currently not a large number of boats to choose from.
Motorized cats 50ft and above have seen a certain boom, but if you want all the perks of a catamaran in a nearly 35ft hull, there’s a lot to say about this new arrival from the prolific cat builders Fountaine. -Pajot.
The key point is that, despite being over 36 feet long, the Fountaine-Pajot MY4S has a wider beam than Prestige’s 61-foot 4-inch 590 flybridge, the result being some pretty extraordinary living spaces.

One of the major strengths of this boat is the number of accommodations available. The Maestro version has three cabins and includes an incredibly generous port owner’s suite, which takes advantage of almost the entire length of the port hull.
On the starboard side, guests have the option of two double cabins with a bathroom shared between the two; a layout that can be mirrored on the port side if chartering or maximizing sleeping space is a priority.
The twin Yanmars of 150hp or 250hp are the engine choices, with the larger units in particular offering a good balance of performance and economy.
At full strength, this version will hit 22 knots, but will return to ground speed and the shipyard cites a cruising range of 1000 nm. Awesome stuff.
