Catamaran Elba 45 – new design challenges
Come aboard with us and get to know the new and spacious catamaran model from the famous French factory Fountaine Pajot – Elba 45.
Elba 45 with its modern and energetic lines looks like the last modern hulls with „inverted“ bow of Saona 47 and Astrea 42. Redesigned helm station is a novelty, which allows for easier communication between captain and crew. The interior was also redesigned with a bigger lounge area and an open 360 panoramic view. Spacious cabins give way to lots of natural light, while saloon and cockpit come together in a whole.

A fact worth mentioning is that this 45-foot model is the successor of the well-known model Helia 44 who was a first member of the newer generation of FP catamarans.
Elba 45 comes with a fly-bridge on top which gives this catamaran its place in the private ownership as well as the yacht charter market.

Catamaran Elba 45 – layouts
Elba 45 comes in two different layouts; owner Maestro version where the left hull is completely at the owner’s disposal, consisting of a large master cabin, ensuite bathroom with the toilette area separated from the shower (Italian style), and the other is Quator version with 4 big double cabins with ensuite bathrooms. Extra 2 skipper cabins can be ordered, with a separate entrance in the front.


First Elba 45 in Croatia was shipped to Ultra sailing fleet at the end of July of 2020, after two months of delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Luckily, the rest of the season was successfully booked so we have had a lot of feedback from our guests.

Please contact us if you need more information about the order details and shipment dates, price list, specification, purchase conditions and charter management options. We are happy to provide more concrete numbers and details.

Catamaran Elba 45 – rental prices
Ultra sailing fleet will have two Elba 45, „Princess Valeria“ & „Golden Sun“. Both with a 4 cabin layout, Princess Valeria arrived in 2020, and Golden Sun we expect in June of 2021. Both catamarans will be registered for 11 persons, but we recommend it for 8 guests plus skipper who has his own cabin in the front with its own entrance. Beautiful lounge area for leisure and sunbathing right next to the fly-bridge, in combination with cockpit and fore deck cushions will give you a true sense of relaxing on the sea, and even falling asleep under the stars.

Weekly prices for this luxurious model range from 4.800€ to 10.900€ in peak season. Price includes boat rental and equipment, dinghy with outboard, and if you reserve it on time there is a nice early booking discount waiting for you. The catamaran can be rented with a professional skipper who is a great asset when it comes to not only navigating the boat, but finding mooring places. Skipper and hostess are paid extra, prices range from 150 – 190€/day.
