A very unique and special 40ft sailing catamaran is arriving into South Of France charter base later this Spring.  Another 3x charter versions, one even more special as she comes with gas BBQ, AC, Generator, watermaker is also due to arrive into Greece any time soon.  The owner version Isla 40 to be based in France is a 3 cabin, 2 heads model with standard equipment.  She is ideally placed to explore smaller market towns such as Cassis and Bormes Les Mimosas, but also the famous Gulf de St Tropez with nearby Pampelonne Plage and Port Grimaud.  National Park Porquerolles is also nearby with all these destinations rounding up a nice one week itinerary.

As far as ISLA 40 called ''TERRE'' she is a very unique boat as there are no other such models in South of France. For any prospective owners looking to buy one for themselves, yet keen to have a test charter before the buying decision, this is the best opportunity in terms of ease of access as well as charter rates. Replacing the Lucia 40, the new model is setting some high benchmarks in terms of innovation and striking looks.  She is impressive for her size and it certainly reflects decades long succesful production of Fountain Pajotrange.  Larger than the predecessor with a class-leading sail-to-weight ratio, she has refreshing looks, elegant lines and is instantly recognisable. This is mainly due to unique reversed bows, followed by a newly designed salon space.  The sailing performance is also improved and pricing for both charters and outright purchase is very competitive.

Designed by famous Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design studio, she has an impressive 635ft2/59m2 mainsail area with an additional genoa featuring 36m2/387ft2.  At a beam of 6.63m/21.8ft and less than 10tonnes full weight with all passengers on board, ISLA 40's can sail extensively.  There are also 2x 265L fresh water tanks (2x70 USgallons) and 300L diesel tank (79.25 USgallons).  With a draft of only 1.21m/4ft, the Isla 40 can access big majority of anchrages across all of the Mediterranean, in particular in South of France.

With a chart table close to entrance, she is ideal for relaxed family cruising as this allows a total relaxtion with a quick action enabled due to vicinity of commands and nearby lounger as well as additional storage. The salon and nav table arrangements make her ideal for casual Mediterranean lifestyle cruising therefore.  You can also request ONE WAY charters between Bandol and St Tropez or Cannes and Antibes in France or Athens and Ionian in Greece. Other models are likely to be arriving to Croatia and the Caribbean soon.
