Broker’s Remarks
Migaloo II combines the comfort and styling of Fountaine Pajot’s latest designs with genuine self-sufficiency and reliability. Her proven Victron/Onan hybrid energy system delivers quiet, dependable off-grid operation without the complexity of newer 48 V platforms. Every upgrade has been chosen with long-term cruising in mind — from solar and lithium power to UV-filtered freshwater, robust anchoring gear, and thoughtful interior refinements.
Meticulously maintained and continually improved, she represents an exceptional opportunity for a couple or family seeking a turnkey Astrea 42 in outstanding condition. Lying in Preveza, Greece, fully equipped and export-ready.

Owner’s Reflections
Migaloo II has been a wonderful yacht for our group of friends — comfortable, capable, and well thought out. We’ve equipped her for independent cruising, not just weekend sailing, and she’s proven herself in every way.
From the quiet confidence of lithium and solar power to the comfort of full air conditioning and shaded spaces at anchor, she’s allowed us to enjoy the Mediterranean exactly as we’d hoped — in comfort, style, and safety.
Her upgrades and small touches make life aboard easy: from 100 m of chain and mooring reels to extensive sunshades, cockpit cushions, spice racks, and curved furniture details. Everything has been chosen with care.
As part of our ownership agreement, Migaloo II has also benefited from consistent end-of-season maintenance — every system is checked, and any issue resolved immediately. She’s been our perfect base in the Ionian, and we hope her next owners enjoy her as much as we have.

HISTORY
Built in 2023 and delivered to her current private owners in La Rochelle, Migaloo II has been maintained to an exceptional standard and has never been chartered. She was the proud winner of the 2025 Fountaine Pajot Owners' Rendezvous and has benefited from continuous upgrades since launch, including lithium batteries, a comprehensive safety inventory, and an impressive suite of cruising equipment.
The yacht is owned by a small syndicate of like-minded individuals who were closely involved in the build process and have maintained her with a generous budget and high attention to detail. Their thoughtful ownership is immediately evident upon stepping aboard, with every aspect of the yacht reflecting careful care and investment.
