2025 Foutaine Pajot Elba 45, turnkey owners version ready immediately!
Overview
THOR is a 2025 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45, launched in April 2025 and designed as an owners version 4 cabin layout. THOR is spacious with comfortable living areas allowing her new owner to enjoy a modern, fully commissioned yacht immediately without the wait, uncertainty, or teething issues of a brand new build. While primarily a private family yacht, she also retains optional charter capability, offering flexibility for the future.
Exterior
The spacious cockpit of THOR is designed for socialising and entertaining, featuring a large table and seating with opening doors and windows to the saloon that create indoor-outdoor living. Four strategically placed refrigerators keep refreshments close at hand.
From the cockpit, the layout flows smoothly to the raised helm station and seating area, giving the skipper excellent visibility while staying connected to guests. Sailing is effortless and centralised: all sails, including mainsail and genoa, are operated from the helm via two Harksen 1500 W self tailing electric winches, as well as the halyard and reef lines, with an additional dedicated winch for raising and lowering the dinghy.
Raised of the helm, the seating area provides a relaxed social space with panoramic views, perfect for enjoying the sun or observing the sailing action.
Interior
The interior of THOR is bright, airy, and designed for comfortable living aboard. Panoramic windows throughout the saloon and cabins fill the space with natural light, complemented by thoughtfully placed LED lighting.
The standout master cabin spans almost the full length of the port hull, offering a luxurious retreat with a freestanding double bed, ample storage, and a large en-suite bathroom with separate shower and generous cabinetry. On the starboard hull, two guest cabins each feature comfortable double beds, storage, and their own en-suite bathrooms, providing privacy and convenience for family or guests.
Throughout the yacht, light wood cabinetry, corian white worktops, and grey wood flooring create a modern aesthetic that feels spacious and welcoming. The saloon and galley form a social hub, with a well equipped galley featuring a gas hob, microwave-oven combi, double stainless steel sink, and ample storage for provisions.
Performance & Tech
THOR is powered by twin Yanmar diesel engines (45 hp each). A functional control panel in the saloon allows monitoring of all onboard systems at a glance, ensuring efficient management of electrical, water, and mechanical systems.
At the raised helm station, two Garmin multifunction displays provide navigation and system data, complemented by a Yanmar engine display, autopilot, and built in AIS for safe, precise control under sail. All sails are handled via Lewmar 1500 W electric winches.
The Oceanic Version package includes four refrigerators, a fresh water pump, and an additional 150 Ah AGM battery beyond the standard bank, while a 2,000 W inverter provides reliable power.
