The luxurious Amanpuri resort in Thailand is among the first resort clients in Asia for Ceclo, which offers a stylish floating island for couples, families and friends.
Founded in 1976 by Jean François Fountaine, Yves Pajot, Daniel Givon and Rémi Tristan, Fountaine Pajot included special anniversary celebrations in an action-packed edition of its annual Open Days.
Attracting more than 600 visitors, the fourth Fountaine Pajot Open days officially kicked off celebrations for the French shipyard’s 50th anniversary, marking the beginning of a series of events and highlights honouring its first five decades.
Open Days highlights also included a private preview of three models – FP48, FP55 and the FPY70S – that are scheduled to make their world premiere at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival from September 8-13.
Following last year’s debuts of the FP41 and FP44, the FP48 and FP55 are the latest additions to the Fountaine Pajot Sailing Catamarans brand. The FPY70S is the first new model in the Fountaine Pajot Yachts brand, which was created last year to group the shipyard’s powercats and largest sailing catamarans.
Yacht owners, prospects and dealers – including Asia Yachting – came together to discover the three new models and several more over three days in early July, while also enjoying sea trials. A new Partner Village showcased a selection of exhibitors from across the marine industry, giving visitors the opportunity to discover innovative equipment, services and solutions designed to enhance their boating experience.
Guests also met with the shipyard’s teams and international dealer network, and went behind the scenes of the production process through exclusive tours of the facilities in La Rochelle, Périgny and Aigrefeuille-d’Aunis.
“With more than 600 visitors welcomed over three days, the fourth edition of the Fountaine Pajot Open Days confirmed the growing success of this flagship event,” Fountaine Pajot stated.
“Beyond the numbers, the event reflected Fountaine Pajot’s commitment to bringing together owners, future owners, its international dealer network, partners and teams to share a common passion for sailing and life on the water. We already look forward to welcoming everyone back to La Rochelle for the next edition.”
