Power 80

The Flagship of a Rapidly-developing Power Range

Fountaine Pajot has got the wind in its sails!

This sector meets several needs: that of owners seeking to live aboard while enjoying maximum space, along with that of luxury charters. The Power 80, with its almost 2,700 square feet (250 m²) of living space, has plenty to offer such clients…
