Why charter this Fountaine Pajot New 45 - 4 + 1 cab.
4 cabins for 8 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 2 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 13,5 m, this catamaran works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Fountaine Pajot New 45 - 4 + 1 cab. suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 4 cabins and 4 heads. The catamaran beam is useful at anchor, but marina planning needs wider berth options and earlier docking choices.
A week in the Whitsundays from Airlie Beach
Sailing the Whitsundays is all about the south-easterly trades: the 74 islands sit close together inside the Great Barrier Reef, so the wind, not the distance, decides each night’s anchorage. Whitsunday Coast Airport (PPP) is a short drive, with Hamilton Island (HTI) reachable by air within the group. For the first night, pick a bay in the lee once the forecast is in, Nara Inlet on Hook Island or Cid Harbour both sitting out of the blow. From there the sailing stays among the islands on legs rarely over fifteen miles, each stop chosen for shelter and the last day held near Airlie for the run in.
