About
La Mer Kat is a Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40. Due to her size she is easy to handle, even short handed, yet still feels like a larger boat when at anchor. When you are in a marina, however, you will love the manouvrability of this yacht.
She is professionally maintained by a full-time maintenance team at Conch Charters in the British Virgin Islands. You could take advantage of the existing charter booking portfolio before taking the boat out of fleet. Alternatively the bookings could be moved onto another vessel and you can sail off into the sunset.
La Mer Kat benefits from:
The Lucia 40 is built to combine comfort and sailing performance. The cockpit is spacious. In fact, it is almost the size of the cockpit of the Helia 44—the next size up in the Fountaine Pajot line. The portside L-shaped dinette can accommodate up to six adults, and there is additional seating along the transom and on the starboard-side lounge. The perfect social space that also has a plumbed in propane BBQ. The entire cockpit is protected by a composite coach roof which also serves as an anchor point for the large mainsheet traveler. Behind the traveller are 3 100W rigid solar panels helping to keep the batteries topped up, perfect for longer distance cruising.
The helm pod to starboard is elevated and molded into the coach roof, with access from the deck as well as via a set of steps from the cockpit. There are a number of nice features here: the seat accommodates the captain and a companion, with ample room for two to work (one to steer and one to manage the three Lewmar winches). All the lines run back directly to the helm making single handed sailing a breeze. Yet another set of steps leads up to the coachroof where the boom is low enough that it’s easy to reach over and tuck away the mainsail at the end of the day. In addition, the Raymarine multifunction display is conveniently located, and there is a small sheet bin built in to keep the spaghetti tidy.
The saloon is on the same levels as the cockpit and is surprisingly spacious for a boat of only 40 feet. Step through the sliding glass door into a living room where six can gather around an L-shaped settee that also creates a seat for the angled nav station.
The galley spans the main deck so the cook isn’t buried in a hull. La Mer Kat includes Vitrifrigo refrigeration drawers next to the door to starboard, a Isotherm side opening freezer, a sink by the aft window that opens to the cockpit, and an Eno stovetop that actually offers three burners rather than the standard two.
La Mer Kat is the Quatuor version of the Lucia 40 offering 2 cabins and 1 shared head per hull. Each cabin is spacious with a Queen sized bed. The heads feature Jabsco electric heads and a shower stall.
La Mer Kat is a very comfortable cruising catamaran with all the important features such as, comfortable cockpit, lots of interior volume, safe helm station and good performance.
La Mer Kat was in the BVI during the storms of 2017. Since then she was repaired and has been in charter service with Conch Charters for the last 7 years.

We had a great purchasing experience with The Multihull Company. Got us into the boat we really wanted, our broker Josie was amazing, she walked us through the entire process, negotiated the deal we wanted and gave us great advice throughout. If you are looking to purchase a boat we can’t recommend them enough.
It’s been a few weeks now and the dust has settled. We had a great experience with the Multihull Company and in particular our broker, Caroline Laviolette. Caroline was happy to share her knowledge of the market and the catamarans we were interested in purchasing. She was patient and thorough as we looked at several boats in SE Florida, helped us narrow our search and eventually purchase a beautiful 2017 Lagoon 42. Many thanks to the team at The Multihull Company!
We had a great experience purchasing our boat with Will Miller as a buyers agent. Purchasing our first large Cat is a daunting experience and Will was able to walk us through the process with ease. Will was very straight forward and constantly gave us honest feedback as well as finding and pointing out details on all the boats that we may not have noticed or thought about.
We had a great experience and would use them again.
I would specifically recommend a buyers agent when purchasing to help weed through a lot of problems and misrepresented boats on the market.
We have had great experiences with the Multihull company. We both sold our old boat through them, and bought our new boat through them. I have to say that Will Miller is top-notch, and Riley was great as our broker for selling our O day 39. when you buy a Salt or Boat through them, I feel like you are not only clients, but you are friends. The lines of communication were always open and we were always informed of everything going on.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
