2017 Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40

The yacht features a well-designed 3-cabin owner’s layout with two spacious heads, comfortably accommodating up to six guests. The interior is bright, airy, and highly functional, with large windows that provide excellent natural light and panoramic views throughout the saloon.

Designed with long-term living in mind rather than occasional holidays, this Lucia 40 offers a level of comfort rarely found in this size range. The saloon is both inviting and practical, seamlessly connected to a fully equipped galley, making onboard life easy whether at anchor or underway.

The galley is thoughtfully arranged and includes:

• Gas cooker with three burners, oven and grill
• Dual sinks (fresh and seawater)
• Two refrigerators and a freezer with an icebox
• Generous storage and preparation space

Additional onboard comforts enhance the liveaboard experience:

• Diesel heating system for year-round cruising
• Washing machine onboard (a rare feature in this category)
• Hot water system
• TV for onboard entertainment

The cockpit extends the living space outdoors, offering a generous and comfortable area for dining and socialising, perfectly suited to Mediterranean cruising and life at anchor.

Overall, the yacht provides an excellent balance of practicality, comfort, and liveability, making her ideal for extended cruising or full-time living aboard.

The yacht is powered by twin Volvo Penta D1-30F diesel engines with sail drives and folding three-blade bronze propellers, delivering smooth and efficient performance. She cruises comfortably at approximately 6 knots, with a maximum speed of around 7.5 knots. Both engines have approximately 1,267 hours, reflecting regular use and ongoing maintenance.

Electrical & Energy Systems

Designed for extended cruising and high energy autonomy, the yacht is equipped with a well-balanced and reliable electrical setup:

• 6 × 110Ah Fullriver AGM service batteries
• 2 × AGM engine starter batteries
• 2 × 110A engine alternators
• Victron Energy Quattro 12/3000/120 inverter/charger
  (12V system, 3000VA inverter, 120A charger)
• Portable Honda generator (1.5 kW)
• 7 × 100W solar panels (approx. 700W total)

This configuration provides a strong level of onboard independence, allowing the yacht to operate comfortably off-grid for extended periods.

The combination of solar generation, a high-capacity battery bank, and a Victron power management system ensures efficient energy use, reliable charging, and seamless switching between power sources, making her particularly well-suited for long-term cruising and liveaboard use.

This Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 has had a carefully documented and responsible ownership history.

She was originally purchased new in the United Kingdom by her first owner, who retained the yacht for approximately six months. She was then sold to a second private owner, who kept the vessel for around 18 months. In 2019, the yacht entered a joint ownership structure and has since been maintained and enjoyed by her current owners.

Up to 2019, the yacht sailed primarily in UK waters before transitioning to more extensive cruising.

In 2023, Wanderlust successfully completed an Atlantic crossing, after which she spent approximately one year in the Caribbean, including a six-month period ashore in Grenada for maintenance and care.

In May 2025, the yacht was professionally shipped to Palma de Mallorca and subsequently sailed to mainland Spain, where she is currently based in Barcelona.

The vessel was originally purchased in the UK with VAT paid there. She departed UK waters in June 2023 (post-Brexit) and is now in Europe under Temporary Admission status, meaning EU VAT has not been paid.

The owners are now offering the yacht for sale due to a change in personal circumstances, as one of the partners already owns another vessel in the UK, marking the beginning of a new chapter.

The Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel. A buyer should instruct his agents, or his surveyors, to investigate such details as the buyer desires validated. This vessel is offered subject to prior sale, price change, or withdrawal without notice.
