Yacht Description
Made for four. VIVE L'AMOUR is a 40ft Fountaine Pajot sailing catamaran built in 2022, set up to sleep 4 guests in 2 en-suite suites. This is the tidy, modern platform that keeps a couple or small family happy without needing a meeting agenda.
Easy water access. The swim platform turns sea time into a simple on, off, repeat routine. Quick dips, easier gear handling, and less awkward ladder choreography.
Toys that get used. Paddleboards, kayaks, and kite board equipment cover the “do something” crowd, while snorkeling equipment and underwater video keep the rest of the group entertained. No overpacking required.
Comfort, not clutter. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and an indoor audio system keep downtime civilized, and the BBQ handles the low-effort lunch plan. TV in the saloon too.

Charter Reviews
Our Captain, Elton, I cannot thank enough for making this trip our best trip ever! He is very knowledgeable and carried us to very beautiful and scenic spots. He even set us up on beaches that we could have all to ourselves. Elton always made sure that we covered all the things we wanted to do and see.
He and Valentina made sure we had drinks and snacks for our beach excursions. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and considerate captain, I highly recommend Elton. His knowledge, charm, and charismatic personality guarantee you a fun and exciting sailing experience!
It was wonderful to "Not be in charge" thank you for making our first experience on a cat so great! I can't wait to do it again.
