This is a guided tour of the Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42′ where we try and decide if this boat is big enough to be suitable for a live-aboard cruising couple or a small family? Answer: Yes!

James was full of knowledge and very helpful. My experience dealing with James was great and I would be happy to deal with him on any boat-related purchase questions.

Thank you for going over the price.
La Rochelle is our and FP's home port. There are always 3-4 sometimes more FP's being commissioned. I wonder if there is a big saving for North American customers to take possession in the home port.
mother-in-law cabin hahahaha
I’m impresses. Nice
When I toured the FP boats in '21 the 42 was my favorite also. I was disappointed in the 47' myself.
48 hours to fill batteries from sailing using regen. That is a long time. I see regen being the biggest part of electric motors. I notice the shaft drive electric motors having better regen. I would never want a sail drive. I hope they offer shaft drive also with bigger motors for better regen.
Thanks for the tours, really enjoying your content. I Like the 42 it seems like a really capable cruiser.
