Fountaine Pajot FP 51 FLY: The New Flybridge Catamaran
Discover the Fountaine Pajot FP 51 FLY, the new flybridge version of the 51-foot catamaran. This model expands the Fountaine Pajot range with an additional living area, designed for both sailing and relaxation.
Measuring 15.91 metres in length and 8.08 metres in beam, the FP 51 FLY retains the generous proportions of the original FP 51. It introduces a flybridge inspired by the larger models in the range, particularly the FP 55.
Available through Cat & Go, an official Fountaine Pajot dealer in La Rochelle, this new catamaran is designed for owners seeking comfort, sociability and an enjoyable sailing experience.
A True Flybridge for the FP 51 FLY
The main innovation of the FP 51 FLY is its redesigned upper deck, featuring a dedicated living and entertaining area.
At the front, a centralised helm station, inspired by the FP 55, brings together the sailing controls. The electric genoa furler, fitted as standard, simplifies manoeuvres and makes handling easier.
At the rear, the flybridge becomes a welcoming social space, complete with seating, a table and a relaxation area. Guests can enjoy uninterrupted sea views, whether underway or at anchor.
Accessible from both port and starboard, the flybridge also allows for easy movement around the boat. An optional hardtop provides additional protection and comfort.
Interior Spaces Designed for Extended Cruising
The Fountaine Pajot FP 51 FLY retains the interior layout that made the Aura 51 and FP 51 Lounge Deck so popular.
Its bright saloon opens directly onto the aft cockpit, creating a natural connection between indoor and outdoor living areas. The galley and entertaining spaces make life on board comfortable and enjoyable.
Several updates further enhance the interior, including a 253-litre built-in refrigerator, a redesigned instrument console and an improved saloon layout.
The FP 51 FLY is available in 4, 5 or 6-cabin configurations, with different layouts suited to private cruising or yacht charter management programmes.
FP 51 FLY or FP 51 Lounge Deck: Two Ways to Enjoy Sailing
With this new addition, Fountaine Pajot now offers two distinct versions of its 51-foot catamaran.
The FP 51 Lounge Deck features an upper deck primarily dedicated to relaxation, maintaining the original design philosophy of the model.
The FP 51 FLY takes the concept further by introducing a fully equipped flybridge helm station alongside a dedicated entertaining area.
Both versions share the same foundations: an architecture designed for long-distance cruising, flexible accommodation layouts and comfortable living spaces.
Owners can therefore choose the configuration that best suits their sailing preferences and lifestyle.
Propulsion and Energy Independence: Fountaine Pajot Technology
Designed for bluewater cruising, the FP 51 FLY benefits from the technical innovations developed by Fountaine Pajot.
Like the original FP 51, it can be equipped with the optional ODSea+ hybrid propulsion system. This technology reflects the shipyard’s commitment to developing more environmentally conscious sailing solutions.
The FP 51 platform can also accommodate up to 2,000 W of solar panels, helping to improve energy independence on board.
These features are particularly appealing to owners planning extended voyages and longer stays at anchor.
