2018 FP Lucia 40 Four Cabin / Two Head Quatuor Version
The Lucia 40 is an upgrade from the popular Lipari 41. The smallest catamaran designed by Berret-Raccoupea, it is geared toward couples, single handing and families. This is a well thought-out catamaran from the French luxury boat builders, Fountain Pajot.
Stepping aboard on the generous sugar scoops, youll notice how spacious the cockpit is on this boat. With seating for eight at the table, a lounging sofa tucked under the stairs and upholstered bench seating aft plenty of room for evening sundowers with friends!
Just two steps up to the helm station from the cockpit, you are never too far away from the action. Plenty of visibility all around, view of the sails and all the lines leading right back to the helm station. Two more steps and you have access to the boom and sails.
Its easy to move around the wide weather deck with flush hatches and ample grab rails for safety. There is more lounging space forward with the large trampoline area and tanning real estate.
Inside, the double sink faces toward the cockpit for serving. The oven is eye level making it easy on the cook with the three burner stove just to the right. The nav station is tucked in the corner facing forward with the panel just below next to the stairs. The L shaped sofa is comfortable with a adjustable table for dining or cocktails. Plent of natural light and near 360-degree views. The two-drawer fridge is reaching distance from both the cockpit and galley area.
This is the charter version with four cabins and two heads. This configurations gives plenty of room in the heads for a desirable separate shower. The forward cabins a v berth variation and the aft cabins have the more spacious island style beds.
Because of her smaller size, she is easy to manuver but has a comfortable home-like feel at anchor. If you are looking for a home on the water that can sail and has room enough for your family and friends, the Lucia is a great value for the money.
I’ve used The Multihull Company to list and sell two catamarans in the past year and they have been excellent to work with. The first cat was a vessel (42 Lagoon) I had released from my charter company. We had som difficulties during the sale process with the buyer finalizing the purchase and TMC handled things beautifully and we were able to close as expected. The second, a 1997 Island Packet Cat, they were able to attract multiple potential buyers, in a fairly short period of time, and just before our sailing season ended here in Michigan. Will, Andrew, Riley and the rest of the team there have been excellent to work with. Very professional and responsive. As someone that has worked in sales and sales management for my entire career, I appreciate the process they have in place and their execution.
Yacht Broker Micheal Streng did a fantastic job helping us buy our dream retirement boat. He is pleasant, professional, smart, diligent, and totally focused toward ensuring the best outcome for us- his clients.
He helped us identify the key features we wanted. And, helped us then learn the market by seeing firsthand seeing all the boats available. How? By organizing a two day driving extravaganza to see as many boats available from dawn to dusk.
But, his crucial expert assistance continued throughout the whole buying process… helping us craft multiple offers and counter offers to ensure we “bought-right”!
His expertise continued with calmly helping us organize the multitude of details, from sourcing survey experts and renegotiating credits for issues… to ensuring our foreign manufactured vessel had duty paid receipts… thus all saving us much aggravation and thousands of dollars!
In closing, sourcing and buying a boat right has adventurous elements of the “wild-west”. Our Broker – Micheal Streng was our LoneRanger & Tonto… expertly guiding and helping us to help make our dream a reality.

We purchased a Lagoon 470 catamaran through Zvonimir (Zee) Kalinic, TMC’s broker in Croatia and Italy. Zee is the ultimate professional and by far the best broker we have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Thankyou Zee for your professionalism, guidance and support in securing this purchase for our family! Not an easy task being Australian and purchasing in a foreign country but thanks to your help and the assistance of Andrew Holland in the office, this process was made so much more stress free.
Thank you Zee and The Multihull Compnay!
Andrew Hodgdon was a pleasure to have as a broker. He was always there for me and I appreciated his help and professionalism. Thank you Andrew!! Highly recommended.
Just wish to share our thanks with Cal Landau and The Multihull Company for their service selling our catamaran that we owned for nearly 15yrs. Cal our broker in West Palm Beach was THE BEST!
He worked with us beyond the call of duty in helping us prep and moor our boat during some horrendous weather that came through last Winter and always offered to lend a hand while we were in West Palm procuring supplies. etc. Cal was always present to show the boat, learned about our boat systems to answer questions from shoppers and made a very informative listing with great photos and video that attracted a lot of action. I wish to highly recommend Cal and The Multihull Co if you’re planning on putting your boat on the market.
