40ft Catamaran Models Comparisons

We compare specifications, dimensions, sail area, and pricing on the most popular 40ft catamarans in 2020.

Since 2016, Fountaine Pajot, Lagoon, Leopard, Bali, and Nautitech all rolled out new 40 ft catamaran models in a similar price range that are innovative, spacious, well-built, and comfortable. The latest model to be added to this 40ft array in 2020 is the Bali Catspace.

Bali has done away with the Bali 4.1 model and has designed the Bali Catspace with much improved and innovative features while Lagoon updated their popular L400 and redesigned it with the mast further back to accommodate a self-tacking jib, open scoops, and updated interior. The FP Lucia 40, released in 2016, has pretty much stayed the same, as has the Leopard 40. They are both very popular and successful cats. While the Nautitech Open 40 is a nice sporty sailing cat, it has not really taken hold in the US market with the aft helm stations.

These 40ft catamaran models are affordable and easily be handled by a coupled. It also has all the amenities suitable for a cruising boat such as an ice maker, washing machine, bigger fridge/freezer capacity, and big living spaces, which is very attractive for live-aboard cruising couples. 

The 40ft catamaran holds its value because it is in high demand on the used boat market. The 40ft catamaran size range just makes sense.

New 2020 40Ft Catamaran Comparison

READER'S QUESTION ANSWERED: Andy asked: "Which Cat is the best value and what do you budget for upgrades that deliver an above average sailing and comfort experience?" 

The pricing for the different brands are generally in the same range since this a competitive space and the manufacturers have to make sure they are not priced out of the market. There are essentially no “bad catamarans”. Most are all built to recognized and enforced codes such as the European CE standard, so it comes down to personal preference. Some boats have Balsa cores and others have closed cell foam cores. Some have large nets, others have small nets and some have no nets.

All the forward deck designs are acceptable and safe, as we have now conclusively seen over the last five years. The current trend is smaller nets and larger foredeck areas for the most part on cruising cats. Performance cats all have nets and longer bows and are a different category to the production cruisers. Lagoon has the biggest living space, Bali has the best live-ability overall and FP and Leopard are very popular for couples with the semi-raised helm position but that too is a personal preference.

In terms of the extras or additional options, I normally recommend the following:

• The largest engine option available – this is important for your exit strategy especially in the US market and of course it is nice to have the extra power since the modern cats have quite a lot of windage.
• The best winch pack available
• All the cleats offered
• Mostly it is smart to take the code zero pack even if you do not order the sail immediately (Difficult and expensive to retro fit)
• Folding props – I really think that if you are going to do any extended cruising the last thing you want is to be dragging fixed props
• Air Conditioning if you want to have it
• Generator unless you are going to go Lithium with all the inverters and electronics to replace the generator.
• Solar – I normally take the factory option and then add aftermarket to increase the array
• If possible cable throttles and not electronic (If you are struck by lightning at least you can still control the engines if they still run)
• Electrically assisted davits at a minimum – your dinghy is your “car” so one needs to have an efficient handling system (we raise our dinghy every night for security)
• Watermaker is fantastic to have. It really makes life so much easier.
• Estelle will definitely opt for the washing machine – we never had one but since she’s had it onboard our Lagoon 450, she will not go without again.

Fabulous article and great comparisons, thank you. How do they sail? Is there any real difference?

HI Chrissy thank you! The performance of the boats are all very similar. They are all cruising cats, so not exactly rocket ships but totally adequate for a an average cruising couple. You could get a little more performance out of any of these boats depending on how aggressively you sail the boat and the type of sails you have. We race our boat and almost always end up in the top three boats.

Thank you for your article, I think we will go for the Catspace

Your welcome! I think you will be very happy with this choice. Only recommendation for any of these models, is upgrade the engines to 40hp.

In your opinion, which Cat is the the best value and what would you budget for upgrades that deliver an above average sailing and comfort experience? Obviously upgrades can be all over the map but you mentioned upgrading engine to 40hp – what else do you feel are almost ‘required’ upgrades? Thanks!

This is a big subject and there are many opinions, I would be happy to discuss further -Stephen

We have a 2020 Leopard 40 Owners version. We love it. Just wish it carried a bit more fuel.

Hi Eugene, yes! The Leopards are very popular and we sell many of them. They are definitely a great bang for your buck. Thank you for your input!

The 40 Open has the longest WL, Largest Sail Area and has the lightest displacement… indicating it ‘should’ sail better than the others. Other than the helm position, what are the other differences (drawbacks?) you have observed or can comment on (if any)? It appears to be trying to straddle the ‘performance / cruiser’ designation… would you say it is successful?

Doug, yes you are correct however it is a displacement hull, just like the other cats in this category and while it may be a little lighter and have a bigger sailplan, it sails marginally faster, so that is not too much of a factor. In general they are nice boats but the living space is small and just like the new Excess range from Lagoon, the biggest drawback of these cats in our market is the helm position. The aft helm station have just never caught on, which is the reason that Catana and Outremer also moved their helm stations to the bulkhead rather than on the sterns.

Any chance on getting a 2024 update of the 40ft-ish Catamaran Models Comparison?

Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40

Description

The Lucia 40 , designed by Berret-Raccoupeau Yacht Design, is the entry level catamaran of the current Fountaine Pajot range, an easy to handle catamaran for a couple that represents great value for money. She has many of the features that have been developed on her larger sisters: a tidy multihull package that will suit many budgets.

This boat replaced the very popular Lipari 41 (that competes against another top seller in this size- read our Lagoon 400 review for more information) and, despite her length, still has the feel of a bigger boat at anchor. When you are in the marina, however, you’ll love the manoeuvrability of this yacht.

A Spacious 40 Footer The hulls are well shaped to slip through the water while retaining more than enough width for living space in the hulls. And with fixed keels and that hard top bimini, she’s easy to manage and comfortable to sail on. The Lucia 40 is bigger than the Lipari 41 with a bigger cockpit, more living space and larger windows. But she is still a compact package.

In July 2020, Fountaine Pajot announced that the Lucia would be replaced by the Isla 40. That´s not surprising considering the hot competition in this sector of the market, including the Lagoon 40 and the Nautitech 40 Open.

This catamaran is built with PVC foam-core sandwich with vacuum-laminated outer skins. The deck and saloon area are made using resin transfer moulding (RTM), finished off with gelcoat for a slick look.

• A good compromise between comfort and speed, especially if you are leaning more towards time at anchor.
• Fountaine Pajot have evolved this design over the years. This continuous improvement makes for a reliable, well thought out catamaran.
• All lines come back to the helm- she´s easy to sail short-handed
• Lots of living space, particularly in the hulls compared to the competition. They have done away with the forepeaks and replaced them with smaller storage spaces- the foreward accommodation is further forward, and the saloon is also further forward than other cats to give you a larger saloon.
• This is the only 40 footer with the option of 4 bathrooms. If you go for the Maestro version, the shower is huge – probably the biggest in her class.
• The boom is reasonably low, so access to the mainsail is good.
• Most of the hatches are flush – the decks are pretty safe, although we would have likes to see more handrails.
• The ventilation in the saloon could be better. There are no hatches in the roof, even above the galley, although there is a skylight so that you can see your mainsail from the saloon.
• The flip side to that large saloon, is that the weight is further forward and the nets are pretty small. If you like hanging out on the nets, there is less space to do so on a Lucia 40.
• Visibility to the aft corners of the boat is possible, but you have to duck and dive a bit. Starboard forward is good, port forward is more problematic.
• The single helm station also means it is more difficult to trim your sails from the helm. The mainsail on the starboard tack and the genoa on port is easy. The other way round is not so easy.
• There are no steps to get up from the foredeck to the coachroof. Most of the time you will be heading up there from the helm, but you´ll need to watch your footing getting up to the mainsail from the foredeck.
• From some angles, that coachroof looks flimsy compared to some of the competition. It doesn´t feel as sturdy under your hand.
• The standard engines are underpowered at 20HP. We would recommend the upgrade to 30HP to power you through the chop.

Well Organised For Short Handed Crews Both main and genoa are trimmed with the helm set of three winches (one is electric). Trimming visibility is pretty good (easy to see the mainsail on the starboard tack and the headsail on port). This is no different to any offset helm station configuration. 3 steps down from the helm and you are in the aft cockpit, and two steps up the other way leads you to the top deck for access to your sails.

The mainsail is trimmed with a traveler that runs across the entire beam of the coach roof, so there are ample options for tweaking your sails.

Nippy Off the Wind Like most production cruising catamarans, she performs best off the wind, especially if you have ordered the bowsprit and gennaker option for lighter winds. You should see speeds in the low teens in the right conditions.

Going up wind, the Lucia will start to slip sideways under 50 degrees to true. If you need to get upwind fast, you mind need to stick the leeward engine on to point higher, or just drop down to 55 and she sails nicely.

The standard power pack is twin 20HPs but we’d recommend an upgrade to the 30s. There’s not much weight penalty. The engine rooms are spacious with easy access to the machinery all around. The 30hp engines will go full steam ahead at 7.8 knots (3000 rpm), or throttle down to 2400 and you’ll see 6.7 knots in a calm sea. If you just run one engine, you should be able to get 6 knots out of her for the maximum range.

Living Space

Now here is where Fountaine Pajot Excel, and with the Lucia 40 you will sweat every Euro you spend and deliver on comfort. As you step on board up the sugar scoops, you’ll arrive in the spacious aft cockpit with a bench across the transom, and dining area and a day bed that flows into the bulkhead helm station. The helm seats 2 and peeps over the coachroof protected by a soft bimini. All the lines run back to the helm, so whether you are raising your main, reefing or furling your headsail, you can handle it all from this space.

Good Flow And from here you can see back into the galley and the aft cockpit- it’s a well thought out design that flows nicely. You can just about see all 4 corners of the boat from up here if you duck and dive. Forward to starboard is excellent, but forward port is more of a challenge.

Heading into the saloon you have an aft facing galley on the port side with twin sinks. Forward in the saloon, a big sofa wraps around the starboard side with a dining table (room for 6 around the L-Shaped Sofa) or a coffee table, and a nav station on the port side. We’s say the boat could do with more ventilation though. There are no hatches in the roof (even above the galley). Ventilation comes from the 2 forward windows.

She’s an easy boat to get around with flush hatches (except for the forepeaks), and wide decks although we’s have liked to have seen more hand rails and an easier way of clambering up onto the roof from the foredeck. It’s not far to hop up, but if it’s wet and slippy you’d have to watch your step.

Plenty of Space Forward But More Weight The foredeck has two lockers under the sun loungers, one with the water tank and the other for your windlass and chain. You’ll notice that the nets are smaller than many of the competition as they have maxed out the living space on this yacht. That does mean you have more weight forward, however. There are no forepeak cabins on the Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 because the entire living space has been moved forward for the main cabins, but the spaces in the bows can still be used for stowage or used as space for a washing machine in the Owner’s Version.

The Lucia 40 comes in various configurations like many of her competition: choose the Maestro with an owner’s suite plus 2 double cabins in the port hull with either 2 or 3 bathrooms or the Quatuor, or Charter version with 4 double cabins and either 2 or 4 bathrooms. The Lucia 40 is the only 40 footer on the market with the option of having 4 bathrooms.

Roomy Berths The aft berths are islands and all of the cabins have plenty of storage space. The head is separate from the shower in the Owner’s hull. In the guest hull, you can go for 2 separate bathrooms or a larger single bathroom.

Lucia 40 Polar Diagram

How much is a Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40? What do they cost? This is heavily dependent on the options you go for, but €400-450k gets you in the ball park, a bit more if you max out on the options. The base price is around €300k, then you need to add a pack (choose between Grand Large, Oceanic and Comfort versions. If you start adding the bowsprit, gennaker, solar etc you will nudge up the price. Contact us if you need help with this, in some cases it is better to retro fit stuff.

How did the Lucia 40 evolve? Which boats did she replace? The Lucia 40 replaced the Lipari 41 (another great design, launched 2010) which replaced the Lavezzi 40 (launched 2002) : still popular on the second hand market. Over the years, the designs have become boxier and roomier with a more muscly, angular look.

Is the Lucia 40 still in production? No. Fountaine Pajot have launched a new entry level boat called the Isla 40 which is the next generation model. The Lucia 40 remains popular on the second hand market.

Why Fountaine Pajot? Where does the name come from? Fountaine Pajot was founded in 1976 by Jean-François Fountaine, Yves Pajot, Daniel Givon and Rémi Tristan. Givon and Tristam lost out on the brand name discussions!

If you are in the market for a 12m catamaran (38.4 feet to be precise, despite the 40 branding), then the Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 should be on your shopping list. It’s a design that has evolved and been perfected over the years.

We take pride in our happy customers

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb

I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.

Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.

Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.

I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.

— Eric Boutiette

Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.
