As if a delivery crew does not have enough issues to deal with when exiting a foreign country to sail 6,000 kilometers, the last few years have introduced a whole new obstacle……Orcas! It seems that adult orcas are now taking the opportunity to teach their offspring how to attack prey using a catamaran’s rudder as the replacement target, a prey that cannot get away quite as quickly as the tuna they will be going after for dinner! Their favorite catamaran hunting grounds are off the coast of France, Spain, and Portugal, the same route that boats sailing to the US generally cruise through. And we discovered this for ourselves only last month when one of our new boats got to meet a pod up real close!
This 2025 model Fountaine Pajot is available for immediate delivery into our Virgin Island crewed charter program. She is currently enroute to Annapolis MD, where she can spend the spring and summer months chartering in the Chesapeake before leaving for the Caribbean in early fall. She is even Orca-tested having been attacked by a pod of Orcas in December off Portugal during her maiden voyage!
This luxury catamaran is a turnkey vessel ready to go, all she needs is an owner! Our last few new boat sales have involved current charter owners wishing to move up quickly and without fuss so let us take the complications out of this transaction for you and simply trade your current catamaran. She might be just the ‘THERAPY’ we all need!
