2024 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 Maestro Comfort – Available now in PhuketThis 2024 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 Maestro Comfort is a strong opportunity for buyers looking for a recent, well-specified cruising catamaran available immediately in Asia.Although built as a 2024 model, she was launched in Phuket in mid-2025 and has only been in operation for approximately one year.She’s a 3-cabin Maestro version, offering the desirable owner’s suite layout, generous guest accommodation, and additional crew arrangements in the forepeaks. She is powered by upgraded Nanni N4 65 SD engines and fitted with a strong options package, including air conditioning, Garmin 3 Smart Cruising electronics, radar, electric platform, synthetic teak cockpit and transoms, cockpit fridge, electric winches, folding propellers, bimini, and crew accommodation upgrades.Since launch, she has completed only one season of professionally operated crewed charter in Phuket. Importantly, she has not been used as a bareboat charter yacht. Her use has been supervised with crew on board, which gives her a very different profile from high-rotation bareboat fleet boats.Broker’s ThoughtsThis is not a “private use only” boat, and we do not want to present her that way. However, she should also not be confused with the typical ex-bareboat charter catamaran.The right way to look at her is as a recent 2024 Elba 45, with a strong specification, professional crewed operation, and immediate availability in Phuket. For buyers comparing older Elba 45 units, new factory orders, and the time and cost of bringing a boat into Asia, she sits in an interesting position.The Maestro layout is also an important advantage. Many Elba 45s on the market are charter-oriented layouts. This boat offers a more owner-focused configuration, while still having practical crew arrangements for managed operation or private use with crew.With her upgraded equipment package and current location in Thailand, she should appeal to buyers looking for a ready-to-go catamaran for private cruising, regional ownership, or continued managed operation.A recent 2024 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 Maestro Comfort, already in Phuket, with strong options, crewed-charter history only, and no bareboat exposure.For a buyer wanting a well-equipped Elba 45 without the delay of a new build, this yacht deserves serious consideration.Viewings can be arranged in Phuket by appointment.
