Fountaine Pajot was founded in 1976 near La Rochelle, France, by Jean-François Fountaine and Yves Pajot among others, starting in racing dinghies before launching its first sailing catamaran, the Louisiane 37, in 1983.
The yard builds cruising catamarans in composite — sailing multihulls and, since the early 2010s, power catamarans — across a range from roughly 37 feet to around 80 feet. The twin-hull layout gives wide living space, shallow draft, and stable cruising.
