Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 (2022) 'Pegasus'
Overview

FOUNTAINE PAJOT ASTRÉA 42Horizon Yacht Charters in the BVI is delighted to present our 2022 Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 ‘Pegasus’ sailing catamaran now available for charter.

The Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 ‘Pegasus’ Features:

The 42 is distinguished by its abundance of natural light, energetic lines, elegant living spaces and unparalleled comfort while delivering sheer sailing pleasure underway. A joy to share as a couple or with family and friends, this new catamaran promises every leg of your travels will be memorable.

The Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 demonstrates the boatyard’s commitment to innovation while preserving the classic identity of the Fountaine Pajot sailing catamarans’ range. Her inverted bows, the new signature mark of the range, give the boat an elegant and dynamic line while offering incomparable interior space.

The Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 was conceived and designed to facilitate free-flowing movement throughout the boat, as well as link the helm station with the interior and exterior living spaces whilst underway or at anchor.

The coach roof features a double seat at the helm station and a built-in sun lounger for enjoying idyllic days together. An electric winch makes hoisting the fathead main a piece of cake.

With a 30-gallon per hour watermaker, you do not need to stress about rationing water, go ahead and enjoy that long shower after every dip of the day!

The incredibly comfortable saloon has been designed with expansive panoramic windows that bathe the interior in natural light. Her U-shaped galley transitions seamlessly with the cockpit courtesy of a large sliding door.

This Astrea has the owner’s layout, with a stateroom and en-suite head and shower occupying the entire starboard hull. There are two double cabins with en suites on the port side. This yacht also benefits from a single/crew cabin starboard forward that is only accessed from the deck and is not air-conditioned. Her saloon area also converts into a double bed. Of course, there is a generator and air conditioning throughout.

Michael Polt, 13-25 May '24

We love Horizon!

Brian Hickey , 14 - 21 October '23

This was our first HYC charter and will not be our last. Thank you!

Robert Datoub , 27 October - 18 November '23

Boat looks great!

Tony Naets, 12/9-12/19/21- Astrea 42 "Brown Eyed Girl"

Now that we made it back and are (more or less) over our jetlag, a quick word to thank you and the Horizon team for their contributions to a wonderful trip, with special kudos to Jalon for his guidance and patience and to Jon for quickly repairing the only issue with the boat.

As everyone will tell you, it is cold here, and grey and we miss it…. and therefore WE WILL BE BACK!

Our best wishes for 2022 and have a great season.

Steve Philpott, January 24th - February 2nd 2022

Everything worked out great. Horizon Yacht Charters’ staff were very responsive to emails and questions. Jalon was very helpful here on site.

Hanno Fichtner , 11/19/2023 BVI

Everything was great! We felt that the communication with the office to book the boat was very personal, all our questions got answered quickly and that was a big reason why we chose Horizon over one of the bigger companies.

The boat was in perfect condition, with lots of space. We had a kind checkout skipper (Noah) for 2 days. He helped us get to know the boat and the area and when we dropped him off we were very confident to sail the boat for the rest of our trip.

Find Your Rate Check out our special offers

Please note we have 5 nights minimum and 7 nights min between Dec 18 and Jan 4.

Did you know Horizon’s charters start and finish at noon? This means we can get you out sailing your first afternoon after your briefings – remember to watch your video briefings to speed up your check out! At the end of your trip, you sail back to Nanny Cay to refuel and debrief before your noon departure. This gives you a full 6 nights/7 days chartering around our beautiful islands, unlike some companies that start at 5pm, meaning you will have to sleepaboard* at the docks, and then finish at 10am, again meaning you will probably have to stay overnight on the docks the night before you leave to fly home.

*If available, a sleep aboard can be added the night before your charter start for a small supplement, boarding your yacht after 5pm.

Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 (2022) 'Pegasus' Super Tender

Super Tender your Vacation with Horizon Yacht Charters!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Licensed for 6 persons, this 15ft RIB with 60HP Yamaha outboard will get you and your crew to snorkelling spots and the beach in style and comfort.

Make your charter yacht vacation a breeze – enjoy the comfort of being able to tie up your yacht for the night and then continue exploring the surrounding bays! You can pick up your mooring ball at the Bight and then head to the Indians or the Caves for a snorkel. If you visit the Dogs, there’s no need to choose only one snorkel spot for your lunch stop, zip around them all!  A swim ladder makes boarding easy from the water.

For popular spots where it’s trickier to find a mooring, the RIB is the perfect alternative. Settle into Great Harbour, Jost Van Dyke for the night and then take the RIB to White Bay for the afternoon to enjoy painkillers without the hassle of finding a mooring ball or having to move your yacht for the night.

The North Sound boasts a selection of some of the best dining options in the BVI. There’s no need to settle for only one spot when you have the RIB. Pick up provisions from Leverick Bay, enjoy the plunge pool at Nova in Deep Bay, and then zip back to the sound for sundowners at Saba Rock before enjoying dinner at The Bitter End.

If you have a mix of snorkelers, beachgoers, shoppers and sailors onboard then give your group flexibility by taking the standard dinghy included in your charter as well. This will also remove the need to make multiple dinghy trips ashore for larger groups.

Get more out of your sailing vacation with Horizon- ‘Super Tender’ it!

Please note that the Super Tender is towed as it is too large for davits and tenderlifts. You can choose to take your 10ft Rib as well on catamarans (stored on the davits or tenderlift), or leave it behind. On monohulls we recommend just taking the Super Tender.

Contact our reservations team for more information. Exclusively available only to Horizon Charter guests.
