Atlantic Cruising Yachts has been named the official Fountaine Pajot sailing and power catamarans dealer for California, with three sales locations in San Diego, Dana Point, and Newport Beach. The territory expansion follows the recent announcement of two new offices in the Great Lakes region. 

Atlantic Cruising Yachts has also recently rebranded under the name ACY Yachts. Its exclusive distribution of the popular catamaran brand Fountaine Pajot now stretches across North America with 8 offices and 18 regional yacht consultants.

In production since 1976, Fountaine Pajot catamarans have become highly regarded for their innovative design, spacious interiors, onboard comfort and noteworthy performance. With models that cater to various needs and preferences including eight models of sailing catamarans and five models of power catamarans ranging from 40 to 80 feet, Fountaine Pajot is a longtime pillar of the production catamaran scene. 

“We’re thrilled about the ACY Yachts expansion in California through our partnership with Luke Brown Yachts West,” said Christian Bent, president of ACY Yachts. “Not only do we have the opportunity to introduce Fountaine Pajot catamarans to new customers on the West Coast, but we can also present yacht buyers with more options on their ownership journey, including the Business Yacht Ownership approach,” Bent added.
