2012 Fountaine Pajot Queensland 55 | La Rochelle I
La Rochelle I is a beautifully maintained 2012 Fountaine Pajot Queensland 55, the former flagship of Fountaine Pajot’s acclaimed motor yacht range. Renowned for combining impressive long-range cruising capability, outstanding fuel efficiency and expansive onboard living, the Queensland 55 remains one of the most respected power catamarans in her class.
Measuring 16.75 metres in length with a substantial 7.8-metre beam, La Rochelle I offers remarkable volume while remaining easy to operate. Powered by twin 435hp Volvo Penta engines paired with the latest-generation IPS 600 drives, she delivers smooth, efficient performance and exceptional manoeuvrability, making short-handed cruising both practical and enjoyable.
The current owners have continued to invest in the vessel, with recent upgrades including new house batteries in late 2025, new solar panels in 2026, and fresh antifouling and hull polishing completed in January 2026. These improvements complement an already impressive cruising specification designed for comfortable long-range adventures.
The spacious main deck forms the social hub of the yacht, featuring a large cockpit with generous dining space, drinks fridge and sun lounge above the tender garage. Inside, the light-filled saloon offers comfortable seating, panoramic views and a practical galley-forward layout opposite the lower helm station, creating an ideal environment for entertaining and passagemaking.
Accommodation comprises four well-appointed ensuite cabins, providing excellent comfort and privacy for owners and guests alike. A dedicated utility room with separate washer and dryer further enhances liveaboard practicality, while abundant storage throughout supports extended cruising.
With an expansive flybridge, watermaker, Starlink connectivity, 4,200L fuel capacity, 1,000L water capacity and a comprehensive cruising inventory, La Rochelle I presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a proven luxury power catamaran ready for immediate cruising.
