The Mahe 36

The Catamaran lifestyle... Mahe 36'
Catamarans are the ideal choice for a cruising couple. They're easy to handle under power and sail. They offer a stable platform for the experienced and novice sailor alike. Modern designs, like the Fountaine Pajot, have the load carrying ability not available in older designs. They go to windward well. They tack. In fact, with over 100 ocean deliveries of 1,000 miles or more in a variety of conditions--of monohulls and catamarans--we find that catamarans offer about 20% faster passages.

So, how safe is your Fountaine Pajot? Each one does it's shake down as a trans-Atlantic to the East Coast. The insurance for a catamaran is the same or less compared to a comparably sized monohull. See much more about this in How to choose a serious voyaging catamaran... below.

The 36 follows on the heels of the successful 40. She has all of the most popular and requested features including: Walk out cockpit, one level floor from cockpit to interior, aft galley serving the cockpit and Fountaine Pajot's famous load carrying ability that makes her ideal for weekend sailing or ocean passages.

She's available in a 3 cabin, one head version (we can customize the extra cabin as an office, workshop, pantry space or you name it) or a 2 cabin, 2 head version.

How to choose a serious, voyaging catamaran.

GOOD CAT, BAD CAT-a short course not brand specific, in choosing a serious, live-aboard, voyaging catamaran. We've been Fountaine Pajots leading North American dealer since the early 90's. We've customized and commissioned around 70 boats.

During this time, we've interviewed delivery captains, designers, builders and owners. We've been to the factories. We've delivered them ourselves and chartered them on the East coast and in the Caribbean. During our travels, we interviewed all of these experienced sailors and recorded their thoughts and opinions. This is the definitive, simple guide that describes what to look for in a serious, voyaging catamaran.

All about Fountaine Pajot

FOUNTAINE PAJOT Find out about how they're built, the philosophy, why they are #1 in the Catamaran industry.

FOUNTAINE PAJOT is the first French naval constructor to have obtained "QUALITY certification to ISO 9001 : 2000 Version" for its entire manufacturing cycle. This certification validates the quality initiative pursued by the company for more than 28 years and justifies your trust. Fountaine Pajot has already constructed 1420 cruising catamarans and Bay Yacht Agency has consistently been their leading, North American dealer.

The final key to success...

It has been our experience, that the final critical element in order to get your boat the way that you want her, is to have an experienced complete commissioning facility in the states as your partner. Unlike other dealers, we have had the experience of commissioning over 75 Fountaine Pajots at our central facility in Annapolis, Americas sailing capital...

We know that we can supply equipment that is more serviceable in the U.S.

We assign a personal, project manager to you. He will interview you and gain an understanding of  how you plan to use your boat, and what your expectations are. Then, we will choose and specify air conditioning systems, generators, water makers and a host of electrical and electronic equipment for local installation. We can  fabricate custom welded Biminis, storage racks and other equipment that far exceeds the minimum specifications of typical European standards. We know that you want rugged, reliable, easy to service equipment that will stand the test of time. You want luxury and comfort--all at a reasonable cost.

We will truly customize your boat for your specific requirements with equipment that will be easy to get service on in the U.S., the Caribbean or wherever your voyaging takes you, and... we do it cost effectively. Usually for far less than the comparable cost of doing the same work in Europe.

Consult with us about your specific needs, alternatives to financing, advice on dockage, insurance, commissioning, delivering your boat or whatever else that you need to know in order to move forward and make an informed decision. We're here to help. To share over 30 years of experience with the voyaging life style...

It doesn't cost, it pays to go with experience. The Bay Yacht Agency Group, serving clients since 1972. We look forward to meeting with you!

They have a world wide market and a global perspective, offering offshore, live-aboard boats that have the load-carrying capacity to take you comfortably anywhere your dreams lead.
