Description
1995 Fountaine Pagot
Marquises 56
The Fountaine Pajot Marquise 56 is a rare, large-volume, bluewater cruising catamaran built during Fountaine Pajot’s early performance-oriented era. Only a limited number of Marquise 56 models were produced, making this a highly uncommon opportunity to acquire a proven offshore platform with exceptional interior volume and much recent major refit work.
This vessel has been actively cruised and upgraded with a focus on autonomy, comfort, and long-term ownership. The asking price reflects a thoughtful market adjustment for the yacht’s distinctive configuration and current cosmetic condition, offering outstanding value.
