Fountaine Pajot Lipari 41 Buyer's Guide
The Fountaine Pajot Lipari 41 is a 39-foot cruising catamaran designed by Joubert-Nivelt Architects, with twin diesel engines and a vacuum-infused PVC-cored hull and deck construction. On the brokerage market she appears in both private and ex-charter guises, and a shopper should understand which layouts and upgrades are normal versus rare before committing.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin and charter four-cabin versions are both well represented, and ex-charter examples are common. In the three-cabin arrangement the whole starboard hull is the owner’s domain, while the four-cabin charter split maximizes paying berths. Either way the boat carries significant headroom, a raised saloon with excellent visibility, and a large sliding glass companionway door that locks open to blend saloon and cockpit. The settee seats four to six and serves as a sea berth handy to the cockpit, and the galley is equipped with a stainless double sink, three-burner stove, separate oven, and good stowage.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most Liparis on the market carry a strong energy and navigation suite as standard brokerage fare: solar, inverter, lithium batteries, watermaker, autopilot, radar, AIS, and chartplotter are commonly fitted, meaning a buyer can expect independent power and passage-making capability without immediate outlay. Canvas and sail-handling upgrades often seen include a bimini and electric winches, while air conditioning, freezer, hot water, dinghy davits, and cockpit shower are frequent additions that improve liveaboard comfort. Less common owner upgrades include a hardtop, furling main, and washing machine. A buyer should weigh whether a hardtop replaces the factory molded cockpit roof’s solar-mounting platform before paying a premium.
What to Inspect
The Lipari’s decks and hulls are PVC cored and vacuum bagged, and surveyed construction details showed clean tabbing, but the owner’s shower is only partially partitioned and some lockers lack doors or covers are worth checking for owner remedies. Engine hatches open athwartships well above water, so confirm the engine access and aft-cabin isolation remain intact. The anchoring system deploys from rollers forward of the main beam; inspect that fairing and roller exit for stress.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These cats turn up across the United States, Grenada, Croatia, Australia, Greece, and France. For a shopper, the practical checklist is: confirm layout (three-cabin owner versus four-cabin charter), verify the energy suite is operational, inspect the partially partitioned shower and doorless lockers, and check athwartship engine hatches for smooth function. Choose the example whose upgrades match your cruising plan rather than paying for a hardtop that removes the molded solar platform.
