Migaloo II - unknown FOR SALE

**2023 Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 Maestro – “Migaloo II”** A standout chance to secure a meticulously specified 2023 Astréa 42 Maestro, still with her first private owner, Australian-owned, and already a proven performer, having claimed first place at the 2025 Fountaine Pajot Owners’ Rendezvous. This privately maintained Comfort Version sailing catamaran has been elevated far beyond factory fit-out with a Victron-centric lithium energy platform, generous solar capacity, a 9 kW Onan generator, full air-conditioning, and an extensive inventory tailored for serious cruising. Configured in the coveted Maestro layout—an owner’s hull complemented by two refined guest cabins—Migaloo II was conceived for extended liveaboard life and effortless Mediterranean passagemaking. Presentation and specification reveal fastidious care, allowing you to step aboard and depart immediately. As a luxury cruising catamaran and bluewater multihull, she blends style, performance, and autonomy with rare finesse. Her one-owner, three-cabin owner’s version encapsulates modern multihull design and practical elegance. The Victron-based lithium bank totals four 280 Ah LiFePO₄ batteries (around 14.3 kWh), supported by an 800 W solar array with Victron MPPT control and full remote monitoring from phone or tablet. A pair of alternators on the Volvo D2-50 engines supplements the system, while a Victron Quattro II 3 kW inverter/charger ensures seamless power management. Six Frigomar units deliver approximately 56,000 BTU of climate control throughout the yacht, providing cool comfort at anchor or in marinas, an ideal feature for a Mediterranean cruising catamaran or long-term liveaboard yacht. For water independence, an Aquabase 12 V watermaker produces roughly 105 L/h, complemented by an Acuva UV freshwater purifier for safe, great-tasting drinking water. Robust anchoring gear inspires confidence: 100 metres of Grade 70 chain matched to a 33 kg Rocna as the primary anchor, plus two spares for varied seabeds. Twin mooring reels simplify Med-style stern-to berthing, making arrivals and departures calm and controlled. A Highfield Hypalon tender with a Yamaha F20 and console helm serves as a capable, dry-riding shore link—perfect for provisioning runs and explorations alike. Electronics and connectivity are premium and comprehensive. A full Garmin navigation suite provides crisp situational awareness, while Starlink and Iridium Go ensure reliable communication offshore and at remote anchorages—precisely what discerning owners expect from a performance cruising catamaran prepared for bluewater adventure. Daily life on board is equally refined, with a Bosch washing machine and dishwasher, a fully equipped galley, custom storage solutions, and elegant curved furniture details enhancing both form and function. Expansive sunshades and plush cockpit cushions create inviting lounging zones, ideal for lazy afternoons in the Ionian or sundowners after swift passages. Safety has been addressed with the same thoroughness: a 10-person liferaft, EPIRB, PLBs, and a defibrillator round out a serious inventory, making Migaloo II as reassuring as she is luxurious. It is this complete approach—style matched by substance—that helped her win at the Owners’ Rendezvous and makes her stand out among comparable cruising catamarans and owner’s version multihulls. From a broker’s perspective, Migaloo II marries Fountaine Pajot’s contemporary comfort with genuine autonomy and reliability. The proven Victron/Onan hybrid energy architecture provides quiet, dependable off-grid operation without the complexity of newer 48 V ecosystems, while every upgrade has been chosen to support long-range, low-stress cruising—from solar and lithium power to UV-treated freshwater, heavyweight ground tackle, and thoughtful interior refinements. The result is a turnkey, luxury sailing catamaran poised for bluewater or coastal cruising, equally suited to a couple or family. Her owners reflect warmly on a yacht that is comfortable, capable, and cleverly arranged—equipped not for occasional weekends, but for independent voyaging in safety and style. The confidence of lithium and solar power, the hush of efficient air-conditioning, the ease of 100 m of chain and mooring reels, the shade and comfort of carefully designed outdoor spaces, and the convenience of well-planned storage and galley ergonomics all combine to make life aboard refreshingly simple. Systematic end-of-season servicing has kept every element in prime order, and any issue has been addressed promptly, preserving her excellent condition. As a refined liveaboard cruiser, family yacht, and performance-oriented multihull, she has been the perfect base in the Ionian. Lying in Preveza, Greece, fully fitted and export-ready, Migaloo II offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a lightly used, award-winning Astréa 42 Maestro—an elegant, modern cruising catamaran designed for memorable passages and effortless Mediterranean living.
