Fountaine Pajot Salina 48

Introducing "Comfortably Numb" a meticulously maintained Fountaine Pajot Salina 48 - one of the brands most popular models in its time. This bluewater cruising catamaran seamlessly blends comfort, performance and ease of handling, making it an exceptional opportunity for it's next proud owner to embark on her next adventure

Purchased by a Kiwi in 2013, Comfortably Numb was sailed in the Mediterranean before crossing the Atlantic, spending two years cruising the Caribbean before making her way down to New Zealand. The owner at the time came from an aircraft engineering background ensuring that the boat and all her systems were maintained to the highest standard. Every servicing and upgrade was completed with care, keeping her in exceptional condition. After spending a year in New Zealand, she was sailed to Fiji before coming back to NZ and passing hands to the current owners in 2021.

With an eye on future cruising in the Pacific, the current owners have invested in a significant upgrade program to ensure that "Comfortably Numb" remains fast, safe, and comfortable for extended voyages.


These upgrades include:

New North-designed sails (Main, Jib, Reacher - see photos)
Sleepyhead Innerspring mattresses for ultimate comfort on long passages
Electric fresh and saltwater toilet systems for added convenience
New watermaker for autonomy on long trips
New icemaker to keep your drinks chilled in tropical waters
New batteries for reliable power
New electric winch for easier handling
New tender and outboard for exploring shorelines
New clears and squabs to keep the boat looking fresh and functional


Having been fully upgraded for comfortable cruising in the Pacific, "Comfortably Numb" is now in superb condition and ready to set sail. A change in circumstances means she is now available for the next owner to embark on their own adventures, whether it's long-range cruising or island-hopping in luxury.
