Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67 for Sale

Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67 Specifications

Construction is infused composite — polyester or vinylester resin depending on specification — over a PVC foam core sandwich. Fountaine Pajot uses vacuum infusion throughout, achieving fibre-to-resin ratios that are tightly controlled for consistent structural performance across the production run. The PVC foam core (rather than the balsa used by some competitors) provides inherent resistance to moisture ingress and rot — a meaningful advantage for a yacht that will spend years in tropical waters. The hull laminate below the waterline is solid GRP without coring, eliminating the risk of core-related osmosis in the immersed sections.

The 19.60-metre waterline length is a defining advantage. At 67 feet LOA, the Alegria’s hull speed under displacement sailing is theoretically 10.6 knots — nearly a full knot higher than a 60-foot catamaran of equivalent hull form. This translates directly to higher sustained passage speeds under both sail and power. The 10.24-metre beam provides exceptional form stability while keeping the overall proportions within the range that most Mediterranean and Caribbean marinas can accommodate, though berth availability for a 10-metre-class beam is always a consideration.

The self-tacking jib option simplifies short-handed sailing significantly — tacking becomes a single-person operation from the flybridge helm, without crew handling sheets on the foredeck. Alternatively, the genoa option adds 29 m² of upwind sail area (111 m² vs 82 m²), producing a meaningfully higher sail-area-to-displacement ratio at the cost of requiring active sheet management during tacks. Most owner-sailors choose the self-tacking jib; charter and crewed configurations may opt for the genoa where professional crew can manage the additional workload.

Performance & Handling

Upwind: The Alegria 67 carries 239 m² of upwind sail area in self-tacking jib configuration (157 m² mainsail, 82 m² jib), yielding a sail-area-to-displacement ratio that is competitive for a 35-tonne cruising catamaran. In 15 knots of true wind, expect 7.0–8.0 knots upwind at approximately 45–50 degrees apparent. The Berret-Racoupeau hull forms are notably efficient upwind by production catamaran standards — the fine entries reduce drag, and the 1.55-metre draft provides adequate lateral resistance for the displacement. Owners seeking improved upwind performance can specify the optional deep-keel configuration at 1.90 m draft, which reduces leeway by approximately 15% and sharpens pointing ability at the cost of restricted shallow-water access.

Reaching & downwind: This is the Alegria 67’s natural habitat. With the optional Code 0 (approximately 200 m²) deployed in 12–18 knots of true wind, the yacht accelerates to 10–13 knots on a beam-to-broad reach — exhilarating speed for a 35-tonne cruising platform. In sustained trade wind conditions at 120–150 degrees apparent with 15–20 knots of breeze, 9–11 knots under sail is a realistic cruising speed. With the optional gennaker (approximately 280 m²), deep downwind performance improves further, though the asymmetric requires active crew management and is best suited to passage-making conditions where the apparent wind angle remains stable. Owner reports from Atlantic crossings describe comfortable daily runs of 200–240 nautical miles in favourable trade wind conditions.

Under power: The standard twin Volvo Penta D3-150 diesels deliver 150 HP per side through saildrives with folding propellers. Motoring speed at cruise is approximately 8.5–9.5 knots at 2,200 RPM. The optional 220 HP Volvo Penta D3-220 upgrade delivers approximately 10–11 knots at cruise and is strongly recommended for Mediterranean use, where summer calms frequently demand extended motoring passages. The 1,400-litre fuel capacity provides a motoring range of approximately 400–500 nautical miles at 8.5-knot cruise, depending on displacement and conditions. Twin saildrives provide excellent close-quarters manoeuvrability through differential thrust, and the Alegria 67’s optional bow thrusters simplify berthing the 10.24-metre beam in tight harbour situations.

Sea-keeping: CE Category A (Ocean) certifies the Alegria 67 for unrestricted offshore sailing. The 10.24-metre beam provides exceptional form stability — heeling under sail is negligible, and the motion in a seaway is the slow, stable movement of a heavy, wide platform. The Berret-Racoupeau hull design is widely praised for its behaviour in a seaway: the fine bows slice through waves rather than riding over them, reducing pitching, and the hull-to-bridgedeck geometry is designed to minimise the bridgedeck slamming that is inherent to all flat-bottomed catamarans in steep chop. At 35 tonnes light displacement, the Alegria 67 carries enough weight to dampen motion effectively while remaining light enough to sail well in moderate conditions.

Passage-making: The Alegria 67 is a proven bluewater yacht. Multiple examples have completed transatlantic crossings via the ARC and independent passages. The combination of 1,400-litre fuel tanks, 1,000-litre water capacity (expandable with the optional 200-litre/hour Dessalator watermaker), CE Category A certification, and the generous provisioning storage make the Alegria 67 genuinely capable of extended offshore sailing. The hydraulic tender garage accommodates a 4.0-metre tender, eliminating davit-launched dinghy handling at sea and keeping the aft deck clear for ocean passages. For couples or small crews planning circumnavigations or multi-year cruising programmes, the Alegria 67 provides the space, tankage, and structural integrity to go anywhere.

Interior Layout & Comfort

The Alegria 67’s interior was designed by Fountaine Pajot’s in-house team in collaboration with Pierangelo Andreani, and it represents a significant evolution from the Victória 67 that preceded it. The design language centres on warm teak-finish woodwork, light-coloured upholstery, large panoramic windows, and a deliberate blurring of the boundary between indoor and outdoor living spaces. At 10.24 metres of beam, each hull is wide enough to accommodate genuinely spacious cabins with island double berths, full standing headroom of approximately 2.10 m throughout, and en-suite heads with separate shower stalls. The overall interior volume is comparable to monohull sailing yachts of 80–90 feet — without the heel angle.

Owner’s version (4 cabins): The signature configuration places a full-beam owner’s suite in the starboard hull, spanning the entire hull width with an island king-size berth, a dedicated walk-in wardrobe, a settee or desk area, and a large en-suite head with separate shower. The port hull accommodates two guest cabins with individual en-suite heads, plus a crew cabin forward with its own head and separate access. This four-cabin owner’s layout is the most popular choice among private buyers and commands the strongest resale values in the secondary market. The full-beam master suite is genuinely impressive — it rivals the accommodation on 80-foot monohull superyachts in both size and finish quality.

Charter versions (5 and 6 cabins): The five-cabin layout provides symmetrical cabin arrangements across both hulls, maximising guest capacity at up to 10 guests with a dedicated crew cabin forward. The six-cabin version pushes guest capacity to 12, with two crew berths — the maximum-revenue configuration for crewed charter operations in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Indian Ocean. Both charter layouts sacrifice the full-beam owner’s suite for additional cabins, a trade-off that makes economic sense for commercial operations but reduces the yacht’s appeal on the private resale market.

Saloon and galley: The main-deck saloon is an expansive open-plan space with full-height glazing on both sides, a forward-facing panoramic window, and sliding doors aft that open the entire saloon to the cockpit. The galley is positioned forward and to port in the “galley-up” arrangement that Fountaine Pajot favours across its range, providing the cook with panoramic views and direct sight lines to both the cockpit and the saloon dining area. At 67 feet, the galley is fully professional: a four-burner gas or induction hob, full-size oven, twin refrigerator drawers, large freezer, microwave, and extensive counter space. The saloon dining table seats eight to ten, and a separate lounge area with L-shaped settee and occasional chairs creates a distinct living zone forward.

Flybridge: The flybridge is the Alegria 67’s signature living space and one of its most compelling features. At approximately 40 m² of usable area, it is among the largest flybridge platforms on any production sailing catamaran under 70 feet. The forward helm station features twin seats with excellent visibility, all primary sail controls led to electric winches, and a full B&G or Raymarine MFD suite. Amidships, a large U-shaped settee with dining table accommodates eight for alfresco meals. The aft section provides a generous sunpad and direct access to the rigid bimini, which can be specified with integrated solar panels generating up to 3,000 Wp — sufficient to support air conditioning, watermaker, and domestic loads at anchor without running the generator.

Cockpit and aft platform: The aft cockpit provides a second outdoor dining and lounging area with direct access to the saloon through the sliding doors and steps down to the hydraulic swim platform. The platform serves triple duty: tender garage (accommodating a 4.0-metre RIB), swim platform for water access, and dinghy loading area. An electro-hydraulic davit crane with 500 kg capacity simplifies tender launch and recovery. The cockpit layout is designed for both entertaining at anchor and practical passage-making, with sheet leads and winch positions accessible without crossing through the social areas.

Ownership & Running Costs

The Alegria 67 occupies the upper tier of the production catamaran market. It is large enough to require professional maintenance scheduling, wide enough to command premium berthing fees at every marina, and expensive enough that charter income and depreciation management become central to the ownership equation. Buyers should approach the financial commitment with the same rigour they would apply to any high-value asset acquisition.

• New-build pricing: A new Alegria 67 lists from approximately €3,000,000–€3,400,000 ex VAT in four-cabin owner’s configuration with standard 150 HP engines and base equipment. A well-specified example with the 220 HP engine upgrade, watermaker, generator (17.5 kW), full air conditioning (84,000 BTU), B&G electronics suite, solar panels, hydraulic tender garage, and premium interior finish reaches €3,800,000–€4,200,000 ex VAT. Charter-specification six-cabin versions with professional crew quarters can exceed €4,000,000. European VAT at 20–24% applies to Mediterranean-delivered boats; export to non-EU jurisdictions avoids VAT entirely. In USD terms, fully specified new-build pricing is approximately $4,200,000–$4,800,000.
• Used market: Early-production Alegria 67s from 2019–2022 have begun appearing on the secondary market. Private-owner examples in four-cabin configuration list from approximately €2,400,000–€3,400,000 depending on specification, engine hours, and condition. Ex-charter examples trade at meaningful discounts — typically 15–25% below equivalent private-owner boats. The used market remains thin relative to smaller Fountaine Pajot models, and pricing is heavily influenced by individual boat specification and history.
• Depreciation: Production catamarans in the 60–70 ft segment typically depreciate 8–12% in the first year, stabilising to 4–7% annually thereafter. Well-maintained private-owner Alegria 67s with low engine hours and comprehensive service histories hold their value better than ex-charter examples. The Alegria 67’s position as Fountaine Pajot’s flagship and its relatively low production volume (compared to 40–50 ft models) support stronger value retention than volume-production catamarans.
• Annual operating costs: Insurance at 1.0–1.5% of hull value (€30,000–€55,000), marina berthing for a 10.24-metre-beam catamaran (charged at beam × 2 at most Mediterranean marinas — expect €30,000–€75,000 annually depending on location), twin Volvo Penta engine and saildrive servicing (€8,000–€14,000), antifouling on two hulls (€6,000–€10,000), annual rigging inspection (€2,000–€4,000), generator service, watermaker membrane replacement, and electronics maintenance. Total annual running costs in Mediterranean waters are typically €100,000–€180,000, excluding fuel and professional crew.
• Charter income: A five- or six-cabin Alegria 67 in the BVI, Greece, Croatia, or French Polynesia generates €200,000–€400,000 in annual gross charter revenue depending on utilisation, weekly rate, and crewed vs bareboat operation. Net income after management fees (typically 20–30%), maintenance, insurance, and crew costs is 25–40% of gross. Charter-leaseback programmes through Fountaine Pajot partner operators are a common acquisition route for buyers seeking to offset ownership costs while retaining personal-use weeks.
• Crewing: The Alegria 67 can be sailed by an experienced couple in fair conditions, though the boat’s size, value, and systems complexity mean that a professional captain or captain-cook team is standard for most owners. In the Mediterranean, captain costs run €3,500–€6,000 per month plus berth and provisions. A captain-cook team for crewed charter operations adds €7,000–€12,000 per month. For extended private cruising, a two-person professional crew is the norm.

The central financial question for Alegria 67 buyers mirrors that of any large catamaran: does the yacht serve primarily as a personal cruising platform, or does charter income form part of the economic model? For private-only owners, the Alegria 67 is a premium asset with significant fixed costs. For owners who can achieve 15–20 charter weeks per year, the revenue substantially offsets annual operating costs and can make the economics of a €3.5M+ yacht surprisingly manageable over a 5–8 year ownership cycle.

Buying Guide: Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67

New vs used: The Alegria 67 is currently in production and available new through the global Fountaine Pajot dealer network, with build slots typically quoted for 14–20 months depending on specification complexity and production scheduling at the Aigrefeuille-d’Aunis facility. Used examples from 2019–2023 are appearing on the secondary market in increasing numbers as early buyers upgrade, exit charter programmes, or change cruising plans. Buyers seeking immediate availability should explore both the used Alegria 67 market and the predecessor Victória 67, which trades at a meaningful discount and shares the same approximate dimensions.

The Fountaine Pajot range context: The Alegria 67 sits at the top of the sailing catamaran range. Below it, the Fountaine Pajot Saona 47 (14.39 m), the Elba 45 (13.41 m), and the Isla 40 (11.93 m) offer progressively smaller, more affordable alternatives with lower operating costs. Buyers choosing between the Saona 47 and the Alegria 67 are making a category-defining decision: the 67 is a different class of yacht entirely, with roughly double the displacement, substantially higher operating costs, and a level of interior space and amenity that the 47 cannot approach. There is no Fountaine Pajot sailing catamaran between 47 and 67 feet — a gap that leaves the Alegria 67 without a direct in-house stepping stone.

Key Considerations for Buyers

• Cabin layout: The most consequential specification decision. The four-cabin owner’s version with the full-beam master suite commands the strongest private resale values and is the aspirational choice. The five-cabin charter version maximises guest capacity. The six-cabin version is optimised for maximum charter revenue but limits private-use appeal. Buyers entering charter-leaseback programmes should carefully consider whether the charter layout will suit their eventual private use — layout conversion post-build is prohibitively expensive.
• Engine choice: The 220 HP Volvo Penta D3-220 upgrade adds approximately €50,000–€70,000 to the build price but delivers meaningfully better motoring performance (10–11 knots vs 8.5–9.5 knots at cruise), improved manoeuvring response in crosswinds and tight marinas, and better resale positioning. For Mediterranean owners, where light summer winds mean regular motoring, the 220 HP option is essential. Resale values for 220 HP boats consistently outperform 150 HP equivalents.
• Draft selection: The standard 1.55 m draft suits most cruising grounds including the Bahamas, BVI, and shallow Mediterranean anchorages. The optional 1.90 m deep-keel configuration improves upwind performance by approximately 15% but restricts access to anchorages under 2 metres. Buyers planning primarily Caribbean or Pacific lagoon cruising should retain the standard draft. Atlantic passage-makers and Mediterranean sailors who prioritise sailing performance may benefit from the deeper option.
• Saildrive maintenance: The Volvo Penta saildrives use rubber diaphragm seals that degrade over time regardless of use. Budget for saildrive seal replacement every 5–7 years at approximately €3,500–€6,000 per side. A failed seal allows water ingress into the engine compartment — one of the most common and potentially serious maintenance failures on modern production catamarans.
• 10.24-metre beam berthing: The Alegria 67 requires catamaran-width berths at every marina. In the Mediterranean, berths for a 10-metre-class beam are scarce and priced at 1.5–2× the cost of a monohull berth of equivalent LOA. Confirm berth availability and annual cost at your intended home port before committing to purchase — this is not a consideration to defer.
• Survey and sea trial: For a used Alegria 67, engage a multihull-experienced marine surveyor. Critical inspection areas include: bridgedeck laminate condition, hull-to-crossbeam structural joints, mast step and compression post, saildrive seal condition and service history, PVC foam core integrity (moisture readings in bridgedeck and foredeck), standing rigging and furler bearings, hydraulic tender platform mechanism, generator hours and service records, and air conditioning compressor condition. On the sea trial, assess engine alignment, saildrive vibration, autopilot tracking, electric winch function, and self-tacking jib operation if fitted. Request full engine hours, Volvo Penta service records, and any charter booking logs.

The Alegria 67 rewards buyers who are clear-eyed about the financial and operational commitment of flagship catamaran ownership. It is a serious bluewater yacht that delivers an extraordinary combination of space, comfort, and offshore capability — but it demands a correspondingly serious approach to budgeting, maintenance planning, and berth logistics. For buyers ready to make that commitment, it is among the finest production sailing catamarans available at any price.

Competitors & Alternatives

The 60–70 ft production cruising catamaran market is a specialised segment with limited annual production from each builder. The Alegria 67 competes against a small number of models, each offering a different balance of size, luxury, sailing performance, charter suitability, and price. Understanding these alternatives is essential to making an informed purchase decision.

Alegria 67 vs Lagoon 60

The Lagoon 60 (18.28 m LOA, 9.87 m beam, 28,500 kg displacement) is the principal French competitor and the model most frequently cross-shopped against the Alegria 67. The Lagoon is two metres shorter, narrower, and approximately 7 tonnes lighter — differences that translate to lower berthing costs, easier handling, and a significantly lower entry price (approximately €500,000–€1,000,000 less). The Lagoon’s VPLP-designed hulls are widely regarded as among the best-sailing production catamaran hulls per tonne of displacement, and the self-tacking jib system makes short-handed sailing genuinely straightforward. The Alegria 67 counters with substantially more interior volume, a longer waterline for higher passage speeds, the Berret-Racoupeau hull forms that excel in offshore conditions, and the prestige of a 67-foot flagship. The Lagoon 60 is the better choice for a couple who want to sail their own boat at a more accessible price point. The Alegria 67 is the choice for buyers who want maximum volume, higher charter revenue potential, and the cachet of Fountaine Pajot’s top-of-range offering.

Alegria 67 vs Sunreef 60

The Sunreef 60 (18.29 m LOA, approximately 10.04 m beam, built in Gdansk, Poland) is a semi-custom catamaran where each hull is finished to individual owner specification. Interior build quality and material selection are a class above production-line boats from both Lagoon and Fountaine Pajot — bespoke woodwork, custom layouts, premium hardware, and the option of the Sunreef 60 Eco with integrated solar panels and optional electric propulsion. New Sunreef 60 pricing starts at approximately €3,500,000 and can exceed €5,000,000 with full customisation — broadly overlapping with the Alegria 67’s price range despite the Sunreef being seven feet shorter. The Sunreef is the choice for buyers who prioritise bespoke interior finish, exclusivity, and the brand’s celebrity cachet. The Alegria 67 counters with more interior volume per euro, a seven-foot LOA advantage, better parts availability through the Fountaine Pajot global dealer network, and a larger secondary market for resale.

Alegria 67 vs Privilege 510

The Privilège 510 (15.55 m LOA, 8.55 m beam, approximately 18,700 kg displacement, built by Privilège Marine in Les Sables-d’Olonne, France) is a smaller, more specialised competitor that occupies a fundamentally different market position. Nearly five metres shorter and almost half the displacement of the Alegria 67, the Privilège is a boutique catamaran that emphasises build quality, offshore capability, and a devoted owner community over production volume and charter fleet economics. The Privilège’s interior craftsmanship is typically a step above Fountaine Pajot in material quality and attention to detail, reflecting its higher price per metre. Against the Alegria 67, the Privilège 510 is the choice for experienced sailors who want a premium, owner-focused catamaran for long-range cruising at a more manageable size. The Alegria 67 is the choice for buyers who need maximum space, flybridge living, and the guest capacity that a 67-foot platform provides.

Alegria 67 vs Lagoon 50

The Lagoon 50 (14.76 m LOA, 8.10 m beam, 19,956 kg displacement) represents the most common “step-down” alternative for buyers who find the Alegria 67’s size, price, or operating costs prohibitive. The Lagoon 50 is nearly six metres shorter, two metres narrower, and 15 tonnes lighter — differences that transform operating economics: dramatically lower berthing fees, easier single-handed sailing, and a new-build price approximately €1,500,000–€2,000,000 below the Alegria 67. What the Alegria 67 provides over the Lagoon 50 is transformative in scope: a full-beam owner’s suite that dwarfs anything on a 50-footer, a flybridge large enough for a full dining table and sunpad simultaneously, charter revenue potential roughly double that of a 50-foot boat, and the passage-making capability and fuel range of a genuinely large yacht. Buyers stepping from a 50-foot catamaran to a 67-foot platform should understand that operating costs roughly triple — this is not a size upgrade, it is a category change.
