Our 1995 Fountaine Pajot Athena 38, “KIT,” is in superb condition and
ready for blue water cruising. We have completely refitted the boat
and added several professionally designed and installed improvements
over the original design with an eye for safety, comfort and
independence. The biggest changes are; all new electric/electronics (2014),
a hard top Bimini over the rear deck with removable lexan inserts to
keep the helm dry and allowing for more photovoltaic panels (2010),
and an electric operated lift cradle for the dink which keeps it secure
In all seas (and harbors)(2011). Other things like LED lighting throughout(2014)
, expanded refrigeration/freezer (2014) and holding tank capacity (2014), more storage/shelving, an enlarged rear deck dining table, and
Air Conditioning/heating enable comfortable, full occupancy of the 4
cabins. (2012). Price is based on current out of water survey (April 14,2014)
