Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 Maestro

2023 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 Maestro – Private Owner, Never Chartered Migaloo II is a privately owned, one-owner Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 Maestro , specified and maintained for extended private cruising rather than charter use. She has never been chartered and presents in excellent condition throughout.

Lying in the Greek Ionian and available immediately, this Astrea 42 offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a lightly used, highly specified example of one of the most popular cruising catamarans in her class, without the cost or delay of a new build. The Maestro owner’s version provides a superb three-cabin layout, with an entire hull dedicated to the owner’s suite and two generous guest cabins in the opposite hull.

Interior volumes, light and ventilation are excellent, making her particularly well suited to Mediterranean liveaboard and extended cruising. Migaloo II has been carefully upgraded beyond standard factory specification with a strong emphasis on energy independence, comfort at anchor and long-term reliability .

Her electrical system is based around proven Victron components, combining lithium batteries, solar generation, twin-engine alternator charging and a Cummins Onan generator, providing flexible and redundant power management for real-world cruising. With air conditioning throughout, watermaker, lithium power, solar, full navigation electronics and an extensive cruising inventory, she is genuinely turn-key and ready to cruise.
