2024 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45
$849,000Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
Overview
Sol y Viento is one of the cleanest and most thoroughly equipped Elba 45s I have seen. Her exceptional presentation, recent maintenance and thoughtful cruising upgrades make her a standout example of the model. Her current owners purchased Sol y Viento new and have lived aboard full time since taking delivery. That level of familiarity and day-to-day use is reflected in how the boat has been maintained, with systems kept in regular operation and maintenance consistently addressed rather than deferred. Configured in the desirable Maestro owner’s layout and Comfort Package, she has been set up with long-term cruising in mind, with a strong emphasis on comfort, autonomy and ease of operation. The result is a very well-rounded cruising catamaran that combines the space and livability the Elba 45 is known for with a particularly comprehensive equipment package.
