FOUNTAINE PAJOT HISTORY
Founded in 1976 in Aigrefeuille-d’Aunis, near La Rochelle, France, by Jean-François Fountaine, Yves Pajot, Daniel Givon, and Rémi Tristan, Fountaine Pajot began with a shared passion for sailing and innovation. Starting with racing dinghies and IOR prototypes, the shipyard invented the cruising catamaran in 1983. Known for its advanced composite technologies—such as resin-infusion molding—Fountaine Pajot quickly became a leader in eco-friendly yacht construction. The group later acquired Dufour Yachts, adding monohull sailing yachts to its range and continuing its tradition of innovation. Today, Fountaine Pajot is advancing carbon-neutral cruising through its ODSeaLab innovation platform and Smart Electric initiatives.
