Is the 2023 Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 Maestro "Migaloo II" for Sale?

Yes, this 2023 Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 Maestro "Migaloo II" is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is located in Preveza, Greece, and is priced competitively. Because quality listings like this move quickly, availability of a comparable example may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than acting promptly. The full inventory, lithium battery bank condition, solar array output, generator hours, and engine service records should all be reviewed before making an offer. A well-maintained example with upgraded systems can have a very different ownership profile from another Astréa 42 that has deferred maintenance.
 

2023 Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 Maestro "Migaloo II" Price

The asking price for this 2023 Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 Maestro "Migaloo II" should be confirmed directly with the listing broker, as pricing for well-equipped catamarans varies with specification, equipment, and documented maintenance. The Astréa 42 holds its value well, especially with the upgraded systems that reduce reliance on shore power and genset hours, which supports the boat's market position. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 42-foot catamaran. Owning a yacht of this caliber involves costs beyond the purchase price. Annual maintenance, marina fees, and insurance should be budgeted. However, the lithium setup lowers long-term energy costs. Fuel efficiency is respectable for a catamaran of this size. Buyers should also account for a professional survey, sea trial, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This Astréa 42 Maestro is powered by twin Volvo D2-50 engines with twin alternators on both engines for reliable power. The Volvo D2-50 is a well-regarded marine diesel known for dependable operation, and the twin alternators support the upgraded electrical system. A Victron-based lithium battery bank (4 x 280 Ah LiFePO₄) with an 800 W solar array and MPPT controllers enhances self-sufficiency.
 

A 9 kW Onan generator provides backup power, and a 12 V watermaker (105 L/h) with UV filtration supports extended off-grid cruising. Actual sailing performance and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, sail trim, and hull maintenance, so a sea trial should be used to verify performance. Fuel efficiency is respectable for a catamaran of this size, and the lithium setup lowers long-term energy costs.
 

Exterior Design and Construction

This 2023 Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 Maestro "Migaloo II" features an 800 W solar array and a Highfield Hypalon tender with Yamaha F20 and console helm, expanding shore access and off-grid capability. Comprehensive safety gear includes a 10-man liferaft, EPIRB, PLBs, and a defibrillator, making the boat ready for extended voyages. The exterior design combines performance sailing with luxurious liveaboard comfort.
 

Buyers should inspect the hulls, deck, bulkheads, rigging, mast, sails, through-hulls, and steering system, along with the solar array installation and tender. The Highfield Hypalon tender, Yamaha F20, safety gear, deck hardware, and railings should also be reviewed. Arrange a viewing promptly, as quality listings like this move quickly.
 

Interior and Accommodation

This 2023 Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 Maestro "Migaloo II" offers a three-cabin owner's version with a private owner's hull and two guest cabins, making it ideal for hosting friends or family.

Individual boats may have different upholstery, appliances, flooring, and interior finishes depending on specification. Buyers should inspect the owner's hull, guest cabins, heads, saloon, galley, refrigeration, air-conditioning, watermaker, plumbing, and bilge systems for condition. The Maestro layout and extensive inventory should be reviewed against your liveaboard or extended cruising plans.
