The 2008 Fountaine Pajot Salina 48, SUNBELIEVABLE, is the most pristine boat of its age on the market. Truly like stepping into a time machine and seeing her at a boat show. She has only had two owners, both of whom were avid sailors and meticulous about maintenance. She has never been chartered or been in a hurricane.
She endured a power surge, most likely a proximity lightning strike, in October of 2024 which damaged much of her electronics. The entire electrical system has been professionally inspected, and all of the electronic equipment has been replaced, down to her refrigerators. The owner was highly involved in overseeing the refurbishment of the vessel and has gone above-and-beyond in making sure that SUNBELIEVABLE is in as close to perfect condition as possible before putting her on the market. This includes reaching into his own pocket to have the bottom painted, saildrives serviced, any gelcoat blisters repaired.
She is a blue-water-ready boat with a watermaker, StarLink, new solar panels, and all new navigation equipment including radar. She is rigged with a bow sprit and winches for her asymmetrical spinnaker for increased downwind performance.
The Fountaine Pajot Salina 48 is the predecessor to the Saona 47 and the Tanna 47. This lineage has been touted as the best open-water sailing catamarans of any production range. She is easily single-handed, with all lines run back to the distinctive split helm of Fountaine Pajot.
SUNBELIEVABLE is located in Marathon, FL, with a full-time caretaker, so she is available to see at any time. Her highly sought-after dock space at Skipjack Marine in transferable to the new owner.
