Firefly – Fountaine Pajot Isla 40 – 4 Cabin Catamaran – Certified Pre Owned
Firefly is being offered through ACY Yachts’ exclusive Certified Pre Owned program, providing an added level of confidence and transparency for her next owner. Eligible Fountaine Pajot catamarans within the program may benefit from the transfer of the remaining manufacturer’s hull and structural warranty, subject to completion of a comprehensive 150 point inspection coordinated by ACY’s technical team in collaboration with third party inspectors.
With all USA taxes paid, she provides the perfect opportunity to keep your boat in the USA or the BVI with no additional taxation.
Firefly is a beautifully presented Fountaine Pajot Isla 40 that strikes an exceptional balance between comfort, performance, and charter versatility. Configured in the highly sought after 4 cabin layout, she offers an ideal platform for both private cruising and revenue generating charter use, with thoughtful upgrades and a proven operational history.
Designed to maximize onboard living, the Isla 40 offers impressive interior volume for her size, a bright and open saloon, and a seamless connection between the cockpit and galley, creating a true indoor outdoor lifestyle. Large hull windows flood the cabins with natural light, while the elevated helm station provides excellent visibility and easy sail handling.
Firefly has been professionally maintained and managed and presents in turnkey condition for her next owner. She has built an excellent reputation within her charter program, with a strong base of returning clients, a reflection of both her condition and the onboard experience she delivers.
Her systems and layout are optimized for ease of operation and guest comfort, making her equally well suited to experienced sailors, first time catamaran owners, or buyers looking for a proven platform with continued charter potential.
The combination of Certified Pre Owned status, transferable hull and structural warranty eligibility, USA taxes paid, strong charter history, and the proven Isla 40 platform makes Firefly a particularly compelling opportunity in today’s market.
