Welcome aboard NO BRAINER, a never-chartered privately sailed 2022 Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 3-cabin/3-head Maestro layout.

Delivered new to her owners in France, NO BRAINER has since done exactly what she was designed and built to do - cruised extensively throughout the Mediterranean, crossed the Atlantic on her own bottom, and gone on to explore some of the most beautiful and historic parts of the Caribbean and the U.S. East Coast, including Florida, The Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, The Chesapeake Bay, and as far north as Boston. Despite that impressive cruising resume, NO BRAINER shows remarkably little wear, which is a clear reflection of attentive ownership, thoughtful maintenance, and pride of care by her owners.

NO BRAINER strikes a rare balance that cruisers look for: a catamaran that has been properly exercised and proven offshore, yet still feels fresh, clean, and dialed in. Her condition speaks for itself the moment you step aboard. With well-chosen upgrades and practical cruising additions already in place, NO BRAINER is turnkey and ready to continue on her adventure without the delays, uncertainty, or the premium price of a new build.

NO BRAINER is currently located just south of the Fort Lauderdale International Airport, and is available for showings by appointment.

Below are just a few of NO BRAINER’s most notable features:

• Maestro 3 cabin/3 head layout w/Jack & Jill shower in the port hull
• 110V and 220V shore power inlets
• Full Garmin Navigation and Electronics Package
