Fountaine Pajot Antigua 37 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Fountaine Pajot Antigua 37 means looking at a 37-foot Joubert-Nivelt-designed cruising catamaran built by Fountaine Pajot France, a sloop-rigged fiberglass multihull with twin 18 cv Yanmar diesels and a standard four-cabin, ten-berth interior. She is a volume cruiser rather than a performance boat, and the used fleet reflects that original intent.
Layouts on the Used Market
Charter four-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available; ex-charter examples are common. The standard version's four cabins, two toilets, and ten berths translate directly into the ex-charter inventory most buyers will encounter, with the saloon and galley configured for turnover use rather than owner customization. A non-charter example, where one exists, may show lighter wear but follows the same accommodation plan.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Commonly fitted gear on the used fleet centers on self-sufficiency and deck comfort: solar panels, an inverter, autopilot, chartplotter, and wind generator support off-grid cruising, while a bimini, cockpit shower, and spinnaker round out the typical sail-and-shade package. Less common but seen as owner upgrades are electric winches, hot water, a swim platform, teak decks, and a life raft — worth noting on a specific listing because they signal an owner who invested beyond charter spec. For a buyer, the power-and-energy cluster (solar, inverter, wind generator) matters most for liveaboard range, while canvas and sail-handling additions govern day-to-day comfort in the trades.
What to Inspect
The standard draft is 0.90 meters with a keel type without drift, and no ballast is fitted, so inspect the hulls' keel areas for impact damage and check that the shallow hulls sit true. Tankage is not established in available records — verify actual fitted tanks and plumbing on any candidate. The twin 18 cv Yanmar engines should be run and checked for hours and service history, given their role in docking the 6.30-meter-beam hulls.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These cats typically appear in Greece, Grenada, Spain, and the United States. For a shopper, the practical checklist is: confirm the layout is the charter four-cabin or the alternative you want, verify the energy cluster is present and functional, inspect the shallow keels and hull bottoms for grounding scars, and review engine logs on both Yanmars. An ex-charter history is the norm rather than the exception, so judge condition on survey, not on provenance alone.
