2018 Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 Cavu | 40 FT

Never Chartered Owner’s Version with Generator, Reverse Cycle Air and Just 300 Engine Hours

CAVU is pilot shorthand for ceiling and visibility unlimited, and it is a fitting name for a catamaran that wraps her saloon in glass. She is the sought after three cabin Maestro owner’s version of the Lucia 40, with the entire starboard hull set aside as a private suite: an island queen berth aft, a desk and dressing area midships, and a spacious head with a separate shower stall forward. Two double guest cabins and a shared head take up the port hull, so family and friends get real privacy of their own.

Berret Racoupeau drew the Lucia 40 to sail well and live large. Her reverse bows, fixed keels and shoal draft make her easy to handle and right at home on the Chesapeake, the ICW and the Bahamas banks, and every line runs to the raised starboard helm so a couple can sail her without calling for crew. Twin Volvo Penta D1-30 diesels show only 300 hours. At anchor, an Onan 7.5 kW generator with just 50 hours runs three Dometic reverse cycle units, one in each hull and one in the saloon, so she is just as comfortable in a Chesapeake August as she is in November. Three solar panels and an inverter/charger take care of the quiet hours.

CAVU has never been in charter, and it shows. She has just been prepped for her next owners with fresh bottom paint, serviced saildrives, a full wax and detail and a new helm bimini and enclosure in September 2026, after her main and genoa were cleaned and serviced in July. Add a full cockpit enclosure, sunshades all around, a Raymarine electronics package and a Zodiac tender on stern davits, and she is ready to go cruising the day she changes hands.
