2026 · Fountaine Pajot · 79ft / 24m
Windkind is a new Fountaine Pajot Thira 80 sailing catamaran launching in July 2026 and taking bookings from 9th December 2026 in the Caribbean. She is a vast catamaran with 5 cabins for 10 guests, comprising one master and one VIP each with a Queen sized bed and three additional double cabins. Each cabin is equipped with en-suite, air conditioning and ample storage.
This layout optimises the space below deck to provide each crew member with their own en-suite cabin. These thoughtful touches are what sets Windkind apart, the owner has diligently analysed what will fit best for the boat for charter but also allow crew to have their own space.
This 5 cabin version features the galley up so rather than the chef being hidden away, charter guests can witness the chef conjuring up all sorts of deliciousness.
Typical to Fountaine Pajot they have a door that leads directly from the saloon to the foredeck and aft there are double doors which open to spill seamlessly onto the aft dining and lounging areas. Sofas frame the aft deck allowing for plenty of seating and lounging options away from the dining table as well as an outdoor galley with barbecue on the starboard aft.
Port and Starboard are folding wings to create balconies opening up the aft deck space even more.
Up on the flybridge there are again multiple seating options and another dining table perfect for sunset cocktails or snacks under way.
The foredeck is the ultimate sun worshippers haven with vast, luxurious loungers in place of the nets typically seen on catamaran foredecks, also features sunken sofas and a deck jacuzzi!
The yacht is run with 4 professional crew who are there to take care of your every need.
All photos are of a sister ship and a full photoshoot will take place following the launch.
