The Summerland 40 is one of the world’s most popular power cruising catamarans. Featuring the finest assets of Fountaine Pajot Motor Yachts range including state of the art design, autonomous controls, outstanding fuel consumption rates and a sleek layout, the Summerland 40 also boasts a true Owner’s Suite with sea views and spacious bathroom.
Designed by the Joubert-Nivelt firm of architects, Fountaine Pajot Motor Yachts are designed as ocean-going boats with a host of special features which including a generous free-board and high bridge deck clearance to provide a quieter and dryer ride than our competitors in most sea conditions.
Fountaine Pajot has just released the sparkling 2013 model of the Summerland 40. Redesigned to feature a spacious and light-filled living area, the popular power catamaran also has an updated helm station to create more room and ease of movement. Inside, there is the convenience of an additional fridge/freezer, ambient LED lighting and a generous bathroom.
Two hulls are stable and do not suffer from dangerous and uncomfortable rolling experienced in most monohull designs, and Fountaine Pajot Motor Yachts have a main deck helm station for comfortable navigation and control for those longer passages and a fly bridge helm station for excellent vision when required.
Incomparable fuel consumption of 40 per cent less than other boats in its class is a result of the Summerland 40’s generous tanks and innovative hull design. Designed for optimal safety and comfort, the deck spaces are ergonomic and obstacle-free providing easy access to all areas.
With a sundeck, generous seats, a maindeck helmstation plus flybridge, the Summerland 40 is a welcome innovation in power catamaran design. An arc-style stairwell leads up to the flybridge from the cockpit, and this area may be cordoned off for maximum safety with the thick glass hatch.
The flybridge is a retreat in its own right: its queen-size sun lounge and luxuriously padded backrest on posts for lounging about make it a popular haven for idyllic cruising. The flybridge helm seat is double bench style with an aft-facing passenger, and the skipper has exceptional visibility from all aspects.
Entertaining is a breeze with the saloon and cockpit seamlessly integrated, providing easy access all on one level and control over natural ventilation through the interior. The well-appointed galley with plenty of cupboard space overlooks the light-filled saloon and dining area, which comfortably seats up to eight guests.
The interior helmstation features a sleek console and comfortable seating and footrest for the comfort of an additional passenger, plus strategically-positioned porthole for optimal ventilation. The generous navigation table is large enough for multiple charts and paperwork to be unfurled without clutter.
The Summerland 40 also boasts an exclusive Owner’s Suite on the starboard hull furnished with a raised queen-sized island bed affording spectacular sea views, huge storage space, office desk, dressing table and a private bathroom. In the port hull, guests can relax in privacy and tranquility with two separate cabins featuring double or twin beds, shelves, bathroom and ample storage space for convenience on extended cruises.
Summerland 40 power catamarans are chosen for some of the world’s toughest conditions including the English Channel.
