2019 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 Catamaran
$499,000
1996 Fountaine Pajot Venezia 42
Kemah, Texas · 60 engine hours · Updated Sep 22, 2026
Overview
The Venezia is not a light boat, at least not by multihull standards.
This is a genuine cruising catamaran and can carry a load without immediately immersing the hulls and destroying performance. The hulls have a narrow entry and the bows are nearly plumb, the waterline length is 41 feet. The spacious bridgedeck is just over 27 feet long, giving the boat a feeling of rigidity, and accounting for some of the weight.
That description highlights the exact reasons why the Fountaine Pajot Venezia 42 earned its reputation as a rugged, dependable blue-water cruiser. By prioritizing load-carrying capacity and structural rigidity over pure racing performance, it serves as a highly capable platform for long-distance liveaboards.
