The Venezia is not a light boat, at least not by multihull standards. The dry displacement is nearly 15,000 pounds. This is a genuine cruising catamaran and can carry a bit of load without immediately immersing the hulls and destroying performance. The hulls have a narrow entry and the bows are nearly plumb, the waterline length is 41 feet. The substantial bridgedeck is just over 27 feet long, giving the boat a feeling of rigidity and accounting for some of the weight.

Location Kemah, TX (Texas)
S/V Nyango is a 1996 Fountaine Pajot 42 Venezia for sale by owner.
26 May, 2026: BIG improvements this year, same price! Both main engines have been rebuilt, installed, and tested from Guatemala to Belize to Mexico and up to Kemah TX. The synthetic teak decking was looking “tired”, so most of it was removed and new gelcoat applied and stamped with custom made nonskid patterns, making the boat look much newer. This Fountaine Pajot Venezia 42 has been refit and upgraded to a very high standard and looks more modern than any other Venezia out there.…
