Brand: FP 38 Athena



The Athena 38 is a 38′ 0″ catamaran sailboat designed by Joubert-Nivelt and Flahault Design & Associates and built by Fountaine Pajot between 1994 and 2005. The Athena is typical of the cats designed and built in the 1990s by Fountaine Pajot – mainly for the charter market, although a fair proportion were bought for private use. A spacious but simple interior is bright and airy, and above all easy to maintain. There are four double cabins and two heads, plus a spacious saloon, which included the galley and vestigial chart table. Despite the fact that most were bought for charter, the accommodation is entirely adequate for private family sailing. The Athena is one of the better performing of the charter-orientated cats, being comparatively light with fine-sectioned hulls. Bridgedeck clearance is good. Sail handling is straightforward from the large cockpit and there is plenty of sunbathing space forward of the saloon.

Fountaine Pajot Athena 38

S/V Belize is a 2001 Fountaine Pajot Athena 38 catamaran, for sale by owner in Mexico. She is currently on the hard at Marina Escondido just south of Loreto. I’m in WA state and would fly down to put the boat in the water and do the sea trial with a buyer under contract. This is a great opportunity to get a cruise ready cat in a great location!

The boat is fully loaded for extended cruising including electronics, windlass, AIS, water maker, built in refrigerator and a new Dometic stand alone fridge/freezer, three anchors, full canvas cover for the cockpit, 1480 watts solar panels with two controllers, battery charger, Highfield RIB dinghy with outboard, fishing gear, two inflatable SUPs, lots of tools including sewing machine and spares.

The twin diesels are the original Volvo 2020MDs with saildrives. The engines run strong and have 3000+ hours each. Sails are in good shape with main with three reef points, roller furling ~130% jib, and a parasailor for down wind.
