Remarks :
This 2017 Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 is a well-maintained and extensively equipped cruising catamaran, offering an excellent balance of performance, comfort, and autonomy. British-flagged and presented in the popular 3-cabin owner’s layout, she is an ideal platform for private cruising or extended liveaboard use.
Built by Fountaine Pajot and constructed in moulded fibre reinforced plastic, the Lucia 40 is known for its solid build quality, generous beam, and efficient sailing characteristics. This vessel is scheduled to receive new antifouling in 2026 and benefits from consistent servicing, including an engine service completed in June 2025.
On deck, Wanderlust is designed for relaxed Mediterranean cruising, with a fully enclosed cockpit and bimini over the helm station, plus cockpit cushions and generous sunbathing areas, including forward sun pads. The cockpit is further enhanced by Flexiteek decking, cockpit showers, and a BBQ, making her ideal for outdoor living.
Ownership & History
The yacht was originally purchased new by her first owner, who retained ownership for approximately six months. She was then sold to a second owner, who kept the vessel for around 18 months. In 2019, the third owner entered into a joint ownership arrangement with one of the current owners. Until 2019, the yacht sailed in the United Kingdom. In 2023, Wanderlust sailed across the Atlantic and then spent a year in the Caribbean, six months of which were on the hard in Grenada. In May 2025, the boat was shipped to Spain, where it has been based since. The vessel was originally purchased in the United Kingdom, and VAT was originally paid in the UK. She departed the UK in June 2023, post-Brexit. As a result, she is currently in Europe under Temporary Admission status and has not paid EU VAT. The owners are now offering her for sale as one of them already owns another yacht in the UK, and they have decided it is time to begin a new chapter.
